Indiana Boy, I have a carbon fiber handguard, and plan on getting a Lancer carbon fiber stock, so I’m definitely shaving weight. I dunno, I’m not totally opposed to a heavier optic, I just like how light and handy it is.

Loswsmith, I want to get away from red dots. My astigmatism is to the point now where I don’t see a dot, I see a star, with a smaller star at about 5:00 off that main star. I picked up a Primary Arms 1X Microprosm I haven’t gotten to try out yet, but it’s really promising so far. I kind of want to try out a 3X on this carbine - my eye with the diopter correctly adjusted on the 1X is unusable with my magnifier. May need to try an another magnifier, this one is kind of junk and I’m not sure the diopter adjustment is actually doing anything on it. I will end up trying an Eotech at some point on my NV carbine, so that’s going to happen. I just wonder what kind of overall weight I’d be looking at with an Eotech plus a 3X. I dunno.

I think early next year, I’ll pick this one back up and finish it up.
