After much research and confusion, I finally settled an the AR that I wanted. I chose the M&P Sport II. I brought it home and took it apart and cleaned and oiled it. I was quite surprised at how much I remembered at tearing it down from my military days, back in 1980. I hadn't touched one since then. I bought a Vortex Sparc II and mounted it for a 1/3 co-witness. A couple of days later we had a nice sunny warm day so I headed to the range to sight it in. My first 3 rounds at 50 yds. were 3" low and 1" to the right, but I could place a nickel over all 3 holes. I couldn't believe how accurate it was. After a couple of adjustments I could put 3 rounds with the Sparc II or the iron sites all in the red center dot on the target. I then set up another target at 100 yds and aiming about 2" high I was still able to put a round about anywhere I wanted. I shot about another 60 rounds and I am now in love with this weapon. I have been shooting pistols for the last 10 years or so, and my accuracy is terrible. I qualified expert when I was in the 101st many, many years ago with the M16. It was very satisfying to know I could still hit what I am aiming at. I can't wait to get back to the range and extend my targets farther out. I just ordered a case of ammo from Freedom Ammunition. I would like to thank everyone on this forum for helping me pick the Sport II and the Vortex Sparc II. Now I have a 2nd expensive hobby, my first is scuba diving.
