Quoted:
A bone stock TA-31, TA-11, or TA50-2 will give you both options - learn to use the BAC features.
With a LaRue throw lever mount it would take approximately .765408394 seconds to remove.
Got a question for you - how much proffessional training have you had with an AR, preferably with an optic. I get the feeling you're trying to make up for lack of skill and training with gear and it doesn't work that way. No amount of gear (no matter how much you spend) will make up for skill.
Pick a sight and learn to work with it. BAC equipped ACOGs are a decent 'all purpose' optic, as are the Aimpoints/EOtechs (especially with the new magnifier options).

To answer your question... I have no "professional" training with an AR, although I have been shooting for about 20 years (not much with ARs, but with various types of guns), and I'm a pretty damn good shot, even without a scope. I can also strip my AR down and put it back together blindfolded, which I'm sure for many of you is not such a big deal. I wasn't aware that I needed to pay for lessons to use my rifle as a hobby, although, I've learned a little bit from people with more experience than me while at the range. My experience with optics is that if you've got a good scope, and it's mounted and zeroed correctly, I can hit most targets dead on even at a few hundred yards. Other than that, I have no experience with scopes, and this is my first scope purchase. I hope it doesn't offend you for me to say that I DO believe having good equipment will make me a better shooter, although I do believe that there is a substantial element of experience involved in shooting well. Experience shooting is not my weekness... my knowledge of sights and optics IS.
"LaRue throw lever mount " - This is the kind of information I find usefull. I don't know anything about these mounting options as most people I shoot with have NO tactical gear knowledge. That's why I'm here. Thank you for the insight. I'll have to look into this mount. Also, please share with me any other ideas like this that you may have.
As far as learning to use the BAC features, it's kinda hard when I don't have one to practice with. As I've seen them in the store, it's not as easy to aim quickly at closer range targets as say a Holosight. Perhaps I just need to spend more time in the store fidgiting with it, and maybe I'll get more comfortable. I don't believe the TA-11 has BAC, but I'll check on that.
