Soo the wife spent some cash.. so I spent a little and bought a Stag stripped Lower.
I'm on a wee bit of a spree here, yes.. but what's life without fun?
So I'll be going .223, budget is roughly $2,500-$3,000 for the build glass included. The range around here is 200 yards.. tops (I think). I'll be using that as a top end for range I'm building for. Thinking about getting a nice timney trigger, enhanced lower parts kit, debating getting wood furniture or going straight for the "scary black lol", probably do Daniel defence for my upper stuff.. buddy recommends em highly...
But another debate I'm having is.. that this will be a "fun gun" I have a number of friends who are either a) antis or b) hunting firearms only.. so I want to build something I can, my wife can and everyone can enjoy.. I'm tempted for my sights to go with a reflex sight or possibly a fixed power scope in the 2x or 3x multiples... something that has very quick target acquisition so it is easy/fun to shoot (this also appeals to me, I enjoy plinking these types of set ups.)
Any rate.. I'm just curious if anyone has any opinions on what the best bang for buck will be for me.. it is my first AR build and I've been counselled to get a complete upper and spend most my budget there.. but I'm tempted to do 100% custom too.. I'm also tempted to put a muzzle break on it too.. purely for the giggles and to let my wife creakote it or whatever that paint stuff is...
Any rate input is appreciated

Ps reliability is big for me too, I want something I can trust for a long time.
