No there is a slight difference in OD GREEN. I wouldn't worry about just get to academy and pick up the green one before there all gone. You'll love it.

Diesel, where are you shooting?

Also new to the boards and not yet an owner. Just moved to Sunny SW Florida from Mass. Been reading here for a while and have decided to take the plunge. Do I need to switch to a Florida DL before I purchase said .22?

We have a range at my parents house in Pleasanton. I really don't go to any of the ranges around here although I live down the street from one. The range close to me is BULLET HOLE. Pretty good range and nice people. I usually go when my father in law wants to shoot.

Hey all you OD owners, do the OD accessories match the color from Academy?

I spent another day in between 3 gun stores. Choices:

OD $459 - Academy
Black w/threaded barrel $499 - Bass Pro Shops
MOE FDE - $559 at my FLGS...............

So, do the green aftermarket accessories match the gun?

Huh...really? Just go get the OD from Academy while they still have them. Do not buy anything else except a spare mag or two, pick up a 10 round shorty if you can for prone and bench shooting. I wouldn't go crazy on red dots, lasers ect just shoot it as is for a while. After you shoot it a bit you will have a better idea of what you REALLY want.

I agree with ral2ooo......I have several rifles with red dot, reflex, and reticule type scopes.....I have the MOE that came with the Magpul flip up iron sights.............I fired using the irons for a while to get a feel for the rifle.............I decided on a reticule type scope because I discovered that the MOE 15 22 was accurate enough that the red dot or reflex would diminish the accuracy potential.

I think I am now starting to lean away from the MOE just because after picking around here I am really digging some of the Zombie mods, and I think I am going to end up replacing the grip anyway. I like the green dot laser and I plan to get a red dot scope of some sort.

no the colors do not match. od green is a bit darker and foilage green is a bit lighter. i prefer the contrast of black furniture on my green gun anyways. here is a pic showing the 15-22 green with black and a couple od green xd's.

Is that unmounted scope a AIM tactical? If so how do you like it. I keep running into these things and they look quite solid with good optics. I was going to get one but not knowing anything about them thought I better do a little research.

nope utg cqb 3-9x and im pretty happy with it. only stretched it out to 25 yds so far but it did the job well.

 

[alexwolf1216]

Ok I did it. Grabbed the last green one from Academy near my house. Im kinda sad though, the "M" on "Model" wasnt painted. It says "odel" lol....

Sweet man congrats!!! Don't worry about the letters they wear off, I've shot about 1500 rounds thru mine and there starting to rub off. When mine finally rub off Iam just going to color fill them.

Now I need to grab me a case and find somewhere to shoot. I have Friday off so we are heading out to A Place to Shoot, but I dont think their rifle range will be open. Boo.
