Budget builds vs Dream builds (Please come participate)

Buy a $900 BCM (if you can ever find one again) add magpul iron sights. And save up for a decent optic

this was easy!

Gee.....

A bugit build for under 1000 was hard to do (but doable) back in the 90's!

From the mid 90's
Colt hbar $700
Burris 2-7 compact (around) $200
Carry handle mount and burris rings $50 to $60

Is this ar's only?
Winchester mod70 larado 7mm mag $600
Burris signature 4-16 matt (cant remember but thought it was pricey back then )
Burris signature insert rings $???
Weaver bases

Throw in a Harris bypod that fit either for $50 to $60

I just read up on the Mod70, and by all accounts, it's a great rifle with a great action.
You're also the second to mention Burris who I had heard of but never really looked at so I checked them out. all kinds of cool optics. Glad I looked.

Has anybody found an AR stock that they'd recommend over others?
Or a pistol grip?
AFG / VFG?
Cases that fit an AR w/optic without having to take them down?
Single point slings?
Upgraded BCGs?
Heavier/lighter Buffer + springs?
Folding stocks?
Takedown Barrels?
Conversion kits?
Lasers?
Bipods?
mag well grips?
random novel or tacticool stuff?

I dont know about now, but Burris had a slogan in all their ads and brochures back in the day that their stuff was 100% American made!

If they moved manufacturing off shore, I would look elsewhere!

Do not think I bought any Burris since y2k.

Last scope I did buy was early 2000's and it is a Leupold scout scope to mount on a Marlin 1895s 45/70 guide gun.

Sad thing is I have not bought the mount and rings, the scope is still in the box!

less than 500 and only needs sights or an optic. Already has mags. Hard to beat in today's market

Rule #1
If your optic doesn’t cost 1-1.5x what the rifle did then you’re just a poser-plinker
