Yeah, I know, if it's not uber elite Tier 1, Geissele/Larue, it's your life man!
I just built an 11 inch 6.5 Grendel upper and put a Burris 332 on it. I liked the fixed magnification and etched reticle, but you can't use back up sights due to the magnification. Now I could remove the scope of damaged, or I could go with offsets. I opted for a $30 set of NCStar offsets rather than say $150 MBUS Pro. These things are decently made for what they are, but they are definitely Tier 87. They will however do until I find a set of MBUS for $100 or less. So confess, I know I'm not alone!

I've skimped on slings and swivels before, both of which have taught lessons that were fixed with my wallet, but learning to buy the best glass I could afford at the time has always served me well. Not that there weren't a few errors along the way. |

Barska scope for about 5 minutes. God, what a piece of shit.
I actually have a no name light mount for my 6P, that cost $5 that's been bolted onto one of my ARs for close to 10 years and is still rock solid. |

I use a few of UTG parts for my ARs with no issues. Riser mounts for red dots, handstop, and the bipod that came with my Ruger charger. The bipod feels/looks cheap and I haven't used it a lot so the jury is still out on that one.

Hardware store Chinese weaponlight combo
 Attached FileI've been using the on/off clicky tailcap and like it. Very bright, and good battery life so far. It's been on several late night varmint excursions. Handles recoil well, as some cheap lights loose connection during recoil. |

Red dots.

Primary arms red dots are my favorite. I don't have a reason to put high dollar optics on all my rifles. They work great and allow me to have cash for other things.
