    Default Improve a S&W sport II

    Bone stock, has fixed front sight and rear flip up on the Picatinny. Been looking at some red/green dots raised and a couple of short scopes that can take some rough handling. Was looking at the sig sauer romeo msr and the romeo 5.

    What kind of distances are you shooting at?

    I shot my m&p15t with a Burris 1.5-6x out to 100 yards. Naturally at 6x the entire time. The reticle on that scope isn't ideal for target shooting, but i think it is more intended for run and gun. Anyway, at 6x i was able to see out to 100 yards but not as clearly as i would like. Next time i go out, I'm bringing my 4.5-14x scope.

    As for red/green dot, i have an ar9 with a holosun green dot. I have an astigmatism in both eyes, but was able to competently shoot off have at 25 yards. Much further than that and the dot becomes more of a blur over the target.

    I have each of those red dots.
    The "best" one will depend on your specific wants, but most people gravitate to the Romeo 5 for it's "shake awake" feature.
    Admittedly, I wanted it for that reason, but in reality, the other one could easily be left on 24/7 and just change the battery every year or two.
    I much prefer the flip up lens caps on the MSR to the worthless bikini covers on the Romeo 5.
    The knob to turn on/choose brightness on the MSR is FAR too difficult to turn easily. That said, I leave mine on, so it's a non-issue.

    If you want to change furniture and get a semi-custom look, these kits from Matrix Diversified are a decent value IF you actually want all the items that are included.
    Best price I know of at the moment. several patterns in stock. If you were to buy all the items in basic black, it would cost more.

    The only thing I want to change is the forestock to aluminum and the ability to mount a light, I want this mainly for the same thing I used my M4 for. Even after 4 years away from that it fits like an old glove.

    Gotcha.
    There are several drop in aluminum handguards for carbines with the front sight post.
