The smallest effective brake would have to be Primary Weapons Systems TTO brake. I don't have one yet but is on my short list to pick up when I have the funds.
Dissipator's Rock!
I believe the dissipator style of upper in a1 or a2 configiration is a great concept for a fixed sited rifle. From my research the mid-gas verses carbine or rifle will be more reliable. Please post pics here of the rifle with details once obtained.
For the maximum distance your looking at a Weaver V3 1-3x 20mm would be perfect. Both eyes open at 1x and the scope only weighs 8 ounces and 9" in length. Scope should run well under $200.
I could not make up my mind on just one type of build.
My first build was a 16" mid length flat top I built for my son. I am slowly putting together the parts for a three gun type of rifle with 18" SS barrel & VTAC free float tube. My last will be a dissapator type with A1 or A2 upper...

Damm, three more posts, thanks for the info, this site is great and the responses were very informative. Looks like it would be better without the irons and just wait till I can afford both the rifle and the scope. May be awhile as raising teenagers takes all of my extra coin. Thanks again!
Thanks for the quick response and info guys. I was looking at the Savage rifles that have iron sights and are ready for scope rings. I just like the idea of being able to use the rifle until I can afford a quality scope for it but don't want to regret getting the irons if they will pose any...
I am looking to buy my first centerfire bolt action rifle and while looking I see that the majority of the bolt actions have no iron sights. Is it a weight reduction thing? Do they hinder the ability to use a scope? Seems to me they may be necessary if the scope does fail.
