Well the Red Dot sight, a Vortex Strikefire II I had on back order finally came in. This is the new gen of Strikefire 4 MOA dot sight. At just over 7 ozs. it doesn't add a lot of weight to the weapon. Unfortunately this adds another battery type to the mix a CR2. I thought it was a CR123, need to read the fine print better.
I still haven't shot it yet, hope to do that this weekend coming up. So far this sight seems to hold up to bright light and not wash out. The brightest setting is so bright in dim light it is painful to look at. The lowest 2 settings are Night Vision compatible.
Adding a Bill of Materials on the build to this post. With some photos for the more unusual bits n pieces.
