Thanks, NoMercy, for the thorough feedback!
I just bought placed my order last night from GrabAGun.com. I got it for $569.00 + $7.99 shipping.
Can't wait...just trying to decide what optic to top it off with.
You'll hate my cheapskate budget, but I'm between the Bushnell AR-223 3x12 scope or spending $20 more for a Vortex Crossfire BDC or Nikon BDC.
For one-piece elevated mounts, I am between the no-name version of the Vortex mount (it's a full $50 cheaper than the Vortex and has excellent reviews as being the exact same product), Monstrum Tactical, and CCOP. The Nikon P-Series is also a 2-piece option, but I've heard people complain that it doesn't mix well with the Bushnell's power adjustment ring. I'm also biased toward a one-piece mount for ease of installation.
