Starting my AR build

Parts are starting to roll in 
I also order a magpul AFG2, 3 5" rails for the MOE handguard and a daniel defense offset light mount for my fenix TK15. I got the light mount that has the big thumb screw so I can take it off without tools. That should just about do it for this thing. Blew my budget a little though, Im at $930 so far which Im done at the moment.
The only other thing I may end up doing is adding a sight of some sort besides the iron sights I bought. Just not sure how a scope will work at night in the price range Id want to spend on one($400 max). Im kinda leery of putting a normal scope on it since this thing will live a bit of a rough life being knocked around. Its been my experience that scopes dont like that kinda life

Ive been rocking a bushnell banner 4-12 for about 11 years now and its still working.
it was $89 when i bought my .22-250
and it gets abused.
Remember the thread i posted back in December?
grabbed my ar by the barrel and slung it.. after i washed it off with the water hose and shot it. it was only off by 6" at 250yds...
$400 will get you a good one. ill look tonight if i dont get too busy.

I don't mind going cheaper than 400, that would let me get the millet I want for my 17 faster. Those primary arms green dots seem to get great reviews and for $80 its hard to beat. When they get back in stock I'll be getting one for my 500.

Which ACOG? THere are only like 20 billion of them out there, and to be honest Im tired of reading reviews on everything.
Vortex stuff is good I just want something with some magnification in case I have to take a shot across a big field.

the 2x mag I hear is garbage, some just toss it and run a different brand magnifier.
I know eotech makes the holosight for bushnell, maybe someone does the same for other brands and models?
Burris AR Tripler 3x Magnifier 300212 FREE S&H 300212. Burris Red Dot Sight Accessories.

Yeah, screw that, thats only 300 short of the gun at the top of my to-buy list

Think Ill probably rock the iron sights til the green dot from PA comes back in stock then run it with a 3x magnifier, if I dont like it on the AR, itll always be good for my 500.
