Wow...awesome looking SR556E......welcome to RT....
First replace the stock. Magpul has tons of different offerings, all better then the one that comes on it. It's a mil-spec buffer tube. Next I would look at swapping out the A2 grip and putting an ERGO grip on it. Then an optic of some sort. After that you should be set with the essentials.
A cute redhead in a bikini would make a great accessory for it...
On a serious note, a Burris 1-4x red dot scope would look great on it, I got to try one out last week and it was awesome.
Yes, with Red Dot Sights you really do get what you pay for. EOTech and Aimpoint are my favs. Many have reported good luck with Ultradot products, which are a notch down in price.Added an INFORCE momentary light to my Colt AR and a Blue Force Gear VCAS sling that are items I really like and work well. Get a good red-dot and possibly a 3x magnifier for close to medium distances and ya have a good defense setup. I bought lesser expensive version of these two items.....don't do that....the lens covers on the red-dot didn't survive too long and the dot isn't as crisp and clear as the good stuff.
Yeah, been eyeing both those brands for a future purchase, the elcheapo 50.00 dollar one will have to suffice a bit longer...for what I need right now it works.Yes, with Red Dot Sights you really do get what you pay for.

There is definitely something to what you say. The "Circle-Dot" EOTech reticle lends itself to quick target acquisition. Get the 65MOA circle on the target and shoot. For precision shooting the small 1MOA dot is there. It is a good system.Yeah, been eyeing both those brands for a future purchase, the elcheapo 50.00 dollar one will have to suffice a bit longer...for what I need right now it works.
Do you have any preference to the AimPoint PRO style and the EoTech style?
After using an AimPoint style I'd have to think the EOTech version would be easier to pickup vision-wise in a home defense situation whereas the Aimpoint is more "scope" type and one has to get up on it closer to utilize....Thoughts?
Thanks for the info...looks like I'm going to need to do some hands-on comparisons. Choices, choicesThere is definitely something to what you say.

The Aimpoint dot is simply a very high quality optical dot in a superb sight.
For combat or HD I probably think that the EOTech is better, but you are not going to go wrong with either. I have the EOTech XPS3-0 on my Ruger SR556E and an Aimpoint CompC3 on one of my Mini 14s. Either setup is great, IMO.
