First time shooting the new rifle and, also, my first time ever shooting an AR15. It was awesome!! Guys at the range gave me a few pointers and were really accommodating.

I had been kicking around the idea of buying an AR type rifle for a while, and now, I can't believe I waited this long. The gun is incredibly smooth and comfortable to shoot. I was shooting PMC 223 rounds.

My only problem is that now all I can think about is what scope to buy!
The best optic will depend on personal preference and intended use. Personally I prefer a 1-4x such as the burris tac30 for versatility if you've only got one rifle, but they're heavier than some of the other options and conversely not as "precise" as other options. Sort of a jack of all/master of none approach. All I can really suggest is that you buy quality.
