I'm working on my first new build in several years right now, piecing together a sweet little SBR on a budget. Its starting with a Quentin Defense billet lower, PSA Gen2 LPK, CMC flat trigger, MOE stock and grip with my own stippling, Spike's buffer kit, and MS2 Sling. Then I have an Aero upper and a Guntec free float rail with stippled LaRue index clips & hand stops that will cover an SA 7” barrel, dragon's head brake and a YHM low profile block. Optics will be an Aimpoint PRO, MBUS, and an Inforce WML. Finishing off with a Rainier Raptor and SA M16 BCG.
Building it and shooting it are the fun parts, but waiting on the stamp and feeding it are what sucks.

Can't post pics, my AR is old school, same stock as above but otherwise stock with carrying handle.
Can someone recommend a decent scope, to cut the cantaloupe at say 250 yards?
If I shot it more often I probably wouldn't need it, but I'm getting older and can't see as well that far anymore... LOL

A cantaloupe at 250yds? You could probably do that with a regular old Aimpoint Micro with a 2moa dot. Or a decent 1-4x scope.
Do you have an A2 upper? If so you're going to have to run a gooseneck type optic mount....

hmmm I'm surprised to hear this. I've only heard good things about the Surefire mag...even considered getting a 60rd'er for my duty gun.
The LAV digs his...

JWP58, yes, it's the A2, I can hit the target at 250/300, stock site and Kentucky windage, but not a coffee can, maybe new glasses would help!
I have a pretty nice Sony digital camera that has a great zoom, steady shot, that can be used as a spotter scope. Dash mounted, it's a great way to see what's way up ahead on highways. It would be pretty cool to attach that somehow and zero it in someway (no reference on a camera) and "tape" the shots. But a scope is much easier.
Thought came from the tazer cameras used by LEOs. :coffeedrink:

I have no idea what a "tazer camera" is, and Im an LEO.
Since you have a fixed carry handle (A2). If I were you, I'd either buy a new flat top upper receiver and switch it, or get a gooseneck mount and an eotech to mount on it.
