Nice find! You've got the right magazines. I like an Eotech 512 red dot on mine.

I picked up my first (personal) AR today. I've never really had an interest in them (beyond training/qualifying as LEO), but for some reason I got the bug a few months ago and happened upon this M&P15 Sport II brand new at a big box store for around $700. They even had ammo in stock. Now to read up on them and find out what to tinker with first.

I also got the Vortex Strikefire II while it was on sale.

Any tips on what to add, upgrade, etc. first?
I'm thinking of first a bag.... then a bipod.

The AR is a great weapon right out of the box and all that junk you hang on it will soon come off as you tire of the weight on the far end.

Besides after building an ammo fort of a few thousand rounds you won't have any money left for many toys to weight it down with. The one I reach for most is the pencil barrel ultra light weight carbine. Just iron sights. Thank you Lord for still having great distance eyesight.

All I put on mine was a red dot and a sling. I don't really need the red dot. It's not getting anything else.
