Awesome, just stocked up...thanks!

I put one of these on my NY compliant Sport, love it: Amazon.com: UAG Tactical Stealth Black Slip On Rubber Recoil Reducing Combat Buttpad Butt Pad For 6 Six Position Retractable Collapsible Stock AR-15 AR15 M4 Rifle Shotgun: Sports & Outdoors It fits so well, it's just part of of the gun to...

I was in the same situation waiting it for the 3X32 to come in at OpticsPlanet. I finally canceled the order and went with the 3-9X40...no regrets at all, I love it! :D

This past Friday I played hookie with a friend from work...we took 1/2 days ("doctors appointment") in the morning and we went out to the outdoor range in Ridge here on Long Island. He's been to this range many times before, me it was my first time. Sighted in my Sport with the new Nikon P223...

Reminds me of the guy who sold me my Sport at my local gun shop. Regarding the foward assist and dust cover...he said he's got guns setup so "tatical" that it's like he's ready to jump out of helicopter in the middle of the night, but the truth is is will not load up the car and drive to the...

The butt pad was to make the stock a tad bit longer and to make it a little bit more comfortable fit in the shoulder, it is not needed for recoil reduction.

The first one was $149, the two others were $10 cheaper if I recall right. There has been Marlin rebate (about once a year) that reduces the buy in even more. Excellent gun for the money, throw on some Tech Sights and you have a great marksmenship training tool.

I bought three Marlin 795's for me, my wife and nephew for an Appleseed shoot (next weekend, can't wait) at Dicks...the price was the best I could find, even considering online buying.

Got my cheek pieces yesterday, the small one (0.75") is what I'm going with. Very well made and snaps into place firmly. I applied a bead of GOOP into the four slots the cheek piece snaps into, now it's a rock solid mount. Much better scope alingment and cheek weld. I stood sideways in front of...

I ordered this from Amazon: Amazon.com: Command Arms Set of 2 Cheek Pieces - CP1 and CP2: Sports & Outdoors The reviews in general look promising, I'll let you know how it works out.

My New York compliant (fixed stock) Sport is rounding out nicely with a Nikon P223 scope mounted with Nikon rings on a 1 inch riser (XL head). The one thing missing with this setup is a good cheek weld. I'm not crunched up sighting the scope, and ear muffs play great...but a solid cheek weld...

I used a one inch riser on my new Sport that I mounted a Nikon P223...just right for my XL head!

I set it up with the Nikon scope and rings and no riser, it did work. I like the riser as it makes sighting more natural for me (big head) and it provides plenty of clearance around the charging handle.

Me I went with the Hogue: http://www.amazon.com/Hogue-Rubber-Ar-15-Finger-Grooves/dp/B000H6C3P2 I'd call it an great value grip: good fit and finish, feels excellent in the hand. $17 and free shipping on orders over $25 from Amazon.

I just ordered 500 rounds of 55gr FMJ .223 for $169.42 shipped from Freedom Munitions, that works out to 34 cents per round...not too shabby. Me for punching paper, I'd rather save some cost using quality reloads, and I like the idea of giving my cash to a real USA based company...helping out...
