It begins....
Awesome, I just got mine today as well. For optics I am looking into either this 4x ACOG clones, with slave red dot sight attached (~$200) or Aimpoint/Eotech Clones-Magnifier Combo. Anybody have personal preferences? Since I am ordering online I don't really get to try it out first.
Really the only thing I see a problem with is if you use red dot/flip mounted magnifier combo that you would have magnifier in your peripheral vision. Don't know if that would make keeping both eyes open when shooting through 1x more difficult.

Flip to side magnifier
I have a Primary Arms M4 optic with a flip to side magnifier and I am totally pleased with the set up. I am right side dominant so I am using the optic through my right eye and the magnifier flips to the right side so it really isn't in my field of view. On a cool side note.....If you are using the optic only, or the BUIS (back up sights) you can just tip your head to the right a pinch and you can use the magnifier for a spotting scope! BONUS!
Also....Primary Arms is an awesome outfit to deal with. This has been mentioned here many times, but I had a real good experience with these guys. Helpful and accomodating. Check their site out.

I'm glad your looking forward to clean it, I dread having to clean mine. When I first got mine I cleaned it a lot, every time you would have a problem everybody would say you need to clean it. I sented mine back to S&W and had the upgrade done to mine now it shoots a long time before you have to clean it. I'm up to 4500 rds of blazer's through it without cleaning it. Still no malfunctions. Welcome and happy shooting
That's just unnecessary neglect. I always put my guns away clean and oiled, if they have gone for a few months in storage without firing I will clean and oil them again.

That sounds like unnecessary cleaning to me. Does it get dirty setting in your safe? I might go over the surface again but not the whole gun. I do clean my guns but I am trying to make a point, that blazer's are not as dirty has people thinks they are.
After being in the Army for 21 years, I have had to clean weapons that we put away in the arms room after being inspected during turn-in hundreds of times. You will surprised how much carbon and residue you can get off of a spotless weapon.

I can see why you clean so much if you was in the army 21 yrs, thanks for serving your and my country for so long.

Not a 15-22, but I have taken an EAG Tactical course and have been witness to the "never clean" method Filthy 14 - 31,165rds 5.56mm in a BCM carbine. I don't worry about mine much anymore and they run real good for 400-1000 rounds per day.

Charlie 3 3 you heard the rest now here's the best Charlie 3 3 Been a long time since i said that, when you mentioned bravo company that came to mind. Nice video
Man, today was the first time I shot Blazers since I first bought my gun(November '10) and the rounds look soooo much cleaner then the Winchester Xpert HV bulk pack
The brass was soo nice.

Blazers are a GREAT round for the 15-22. I've only had one FTF with them but that said I've also had a FTF with Stingers. CCI is quality ammo. FTF's are just indicative of rimfire I guess.

+1 on the Blazers! Very consistent, clean to shoot... they do get your fingers kinda "leady" when you're loading the mags though.
Range Report from 4/2:
Cleaned the new rifle with Hoppes #9 and lubed the rifle with CLP. Shot 550 rounds of Federal Bulk from Waly World at the range. Used only 1 factory 25 round magazine as I need to order more from whoever has them in stock at the moment. Out of 550 rounds I had only 5 FTE. I'm happy with the performance so far of my 15-22. I was using factory iron sights and they seem to be zeroed in, but I was only concerned with functionality for my first range trip with the new rifle. Serial DVP with blue spring.
4/3 Cleaned and lubed rifle after first session of 550 rounds. Shot 100 rounds of CCI Mini Mags HP 1235fps ran flawless.
Total round count - 650.
