I'm contemplating a 12.5 build. There's a couple options in the EE, any benefits over a 11.5?

Here's mine. Currently, this is my favorite AR15. It's my 5th or 6th BCM upper. Works great close up, and with 77gr SMK or Noslers, works great on 8" steel at 400 yards.
 Specs: BCM 14.5 Blemished upper w/Centurion C4 rail NFA Billet lower B5 Bravo stock BCM Gunfighter Grip and Charging Handle Leupold VX-R Patrol 1.25-4X Larue E-SPR mount Magpul XTM handstop and light mount Surefire G2X VTAC Sling |

The other got tamed with an H3 and is quite smooth. My 11.5 is a LW, so I don't expect its manners to be perfect. All you guys with the cans tell me that my AAC will change them all into overgassed beasts

No worries, I'm considering grabbing one of those. Looks like a decent option in the 1-6 market.

Despite the vortex being a vortex and having a great warranty- it's still a chinese optic with parts less in quality than the Viper PST series (it's a series under it). It's also pretty heavy and is 'probably' not daytime bright. |

yup... i think it would have probably been about 1" if i were shooting at a target about 1" away haha. I usually have a micro on that rifle and the scope actually made it a lot more difficult (for me) running it like that. It picked up a lot of flash which induced the girlish giggling. |
