Optics on my next project will probably be something along the line of http://www.laruetactical.com/riflesc...-65x24mm-mount. This concept is available at every price point from Nikon M-223s through S&B SD. The guys I go to for the latest trends are all looking this way themselves - though the Army is footing the bill at the Leupold Mk 6/Mk 8 and S&B SD level. I've got Aimpoints, EoTechs, and ACOGs and they all have their issues.

For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear.

I almost forgot about Larue! I need to look thru their site...they are from Texas!

I wonder if Maj "Lash" could get me a brotherhood discount!

Another upper option that I have used and really like is "American Spirit Arms" . Mine is extremely accurate. The most accurate AR I have had. Prices are very reasonable and finish is top notch. You could always go with Black Hole Weaponry parts as well. Great products.

Unfortunately there are way too many options available. For accessories, MAGPUL is my go to company. But Troy has some excellent rails and some of the best BUIS available. Heck, I am still trying to figure out what I want to do with the BHW lower I have had in hand for over a year now.

The only thing I missed about the red dot ala EOtech is the parallax free feature. No prob hitting target even with poor body mechanics. The 1-4x, 1.6-6x etc concept is super neat with 10m to 500m plinking but the scope design necessitates a solid cheekweld for accurate placement. I run one myself and redneck-engineer a magnifier lever using some zip-ties and duct tape. Works like a charm on the HDMR too. OTOH, for a sub-MOA upper like the sine pari, it should be able to reap full benefit of the variable low-power scope design.

Good luck trying military discount from LaRue now. Unless you're part of "special group" ie. Rick's ol buddies, they already put a disclaimer on their facebook page putting an end to all discount starting this year.

I am glad Surgicalcric vouch for Teludyne. I had my AK74 straightjacketed by them with some pics somewhere on ps.com They worked on it until I was happy. While it's not sub-MOA as initially bragged, the vast improvement in accuracy and handling temperature is undeniable. I've been in their shop and other than the proprietary material used inside the barrel sleeve, they showed me every step of the process. I thought heresy when I saw a straight-jacketed a Sako TRG 42, and they even offered straight-jacketing my Larue OBR. IMHO, the folks there are legit and true believer to their borderline-too-good-to-be-true technology. I've reviewed the whitesands test report when it first came out and the numbers don't lie.

One caveat though, there's no free lunch. You pay for all those improvement in one variable, weight! I personally recommend going to the shop yourself, handle the Sine Pari, then decide, all things considered, if it's still to your liking.
Also make sure to locktite the muzzle brake. Mine and one other guys tend to come off after repeated shots.

When I looked at that URG in the OP, it reminded me of this one from BCM: LINK

Also, Daniel Defense offers a military discount: LINK
