I would go for the Midwest SS Gen 2.  I have them on two of my 5.56s, and like them a lot.  Also I'm not a big fan of Troy after they hired that anti-gun former Chicago police chief and the JBT sniper who was at Ruby Ridge and stuck up for Lon Horiuchi afterwards.Gabriel, from your pics, it looks like your rifle has a heavier barrel than the standard lightweight M&P one like mine has.  Is that part of the MA configuration?  It looks well-suited to what you are wanting your rifle to be... a little more precision-oriented, and a suppressor host.  A 1-6x sounds great.  You also might be into something like a 2.5-10x if you want to go a little lighter/faster, but still with a decent top end for precision.  Anyway, keep us posted on your progress... I hope to see it (and you) at Pawnee on Jan. 17!</blockquote>
