I've done a few tweaks to the Ruger and thought I'd share.

Added a bit more powerful scope, going from the Vortex Viper PST 1-4x24 to a Vortex Crossfire II 3-9x40. These old eyes need just a bit of help at the longer distances out beyond 100 yds with only 4x magnification.

I also added the bi-pod and the forward grip on the bottom of the rail.



I also made an addition to the EBR group recently with a S&W MP 15-22. This should be a fun plinker and with the right ammo, deadly on them pesky little ground squirrels out on the farm.

I have a list of accessories for this one. The aforementioned Viper PST 1-4x24 scope will go on this one for sure plus a few functional additions will be made.

Very nice (but I'm not sure Hillary would approve ). Are you planning on any 3-gun or other action shooting with them?

Yes, I will use the 15-22 as an AR training tool. The handgun portion is covered by my .45 Champion Lightweight Operator and the shotgun portion is yet to be determined.

I remember thinking that I didn't really care what either of the candidates or their political party thought about my upgrades or acquisitions.

My M&P 15-22 arrived and it was barely out of the box when the Viper Vortex PST 1-4x24 optic was installed.





I am certain that the polymer MLok forearm will be replaced with a KeyMod based system.

Ditto. I have an AR-10 build planned (.308/7.62x51) and have a few other rifles that are thirty caliber and above.

The 5.56 is mostly for fun, some 3-gun action and the occasional varmint hunt for coyote and feral pigs. You don't need a thirty to take those down at reasonable ranges.
