Okay, so I'm a pistol guy who recently decided to take a step out of his element and buy an EBR (Evil Black Rifle) which turned out to be a Smith & Wesson M&P 15 Sport.
Took it to the range and shot 80 rounds through it on Sunday. Needless to say, the iron sights leave a bit to be desired, and I'm interested in a good quality Red Dot Sight.
What I want to do with it:
1. Good combat accuracy out to 200 yards. I'll mostly be shooting 50 and 100 yards for the time-being. Not really interested in ranges beyond 200.
2. I'll mostly be punching paper. Once I get competent with it, I might shoot the occasional grackle, squirrel, or small deer.
3. The Sight: Ease of use, durability, value. (notice I didn't say cheap)
So I ask my cousin, the recent West Point grad and newly minted Army Ranger, and he recommends "The M-68"

So, I realize this sight costs more than the rifle I just bought, but if its the best, why not get it? Is there a midrange option that does everything this does at a lower price? Share your knowledge!
