im looking around right now trying to decide on what optics and other goodies to accessorize the M&P 15-22 im getting and found some stuff that i kind of like.i want to get some opinions on these products i have found since all this stuff is new to me.here are some links to products i am considering getting.i dont want to spend a fortune and only want to purchase these items once so id like to be certain they wil fit on the M&P 15-22.i would like to have a scope,laser,flashlight and bipod on my rifle.TIA for any help.

first is a bipod

illuminated scope

Nothing wrong with most of what you have there. From a design standpoint I'd avoid the sight/light/laser combo. It does look like you can move the light, which is a good thing. Having it there will cause too much shadow.

Just remember red lasers are more or less limited to indoors or night time. A green laser will do the job better.

UTG make some fairly solid parts, especially for a .22.

The light/red laser combo might not work on a Picitiny rail and may be for a pistol rail. I know it SAYS it will fit, but I have used some pistol lights that won't work with a spring loaded cross bar. The ones with the screw crossbar will work.

It states it is made for a picatinny rail. Other companies, like Surefire and Streamlight, offer adaptors for Glock, Sig, and others, where the rails are a little different. But that one should run fine on a AR-type picatinny rail, although it will stick off the rifle severely.
 
That light / laser combo is a bit to ninja for me. I'm sure others have had great success with it though.

I'd go:

GripPod Knock Off VFG / Bipod Combo
Primary Arms Multi Rectal Red Dot
Streamlight Polytac Light with GearSector Mount

the only reason im considering the light/laser combo is because i want to have as many options as possible and keep them small.i would like to have a normal scope for daytime shooting,the bipod for longer range accuracy,the flashlight and laser for darker shooting environments(ie inside the house at night if need be).i want this rifle to do everything i can think of and some.my pistol has a flashlight/laser combo and it works great for what i want it for.all my weapons are for defending my house and family but i also enjoy shooting in general.

thank you for the info,does someone make a drum mag for the 15-22?i dont need one,im more curious than looking to buy one.i have read the promag 32 rounders work good so im looking to get some of those if i can find a dealer that has them in stock.
 
I just bought the Vortex Strikefire red/green dot scope. Anyone have this ? I did alot of research and seems like an awesome scope.
 
thats a nice looking light,does it come with any mounting hardware at all?i didnt see any listed in the description.remeber my main goal is to have as many options as possible and keep the gun light and functional.

No - it is just a flashlight. I'm using this (and strip of velcro) for mount: Amazon.com: OFF SET TACTICAL Weapon Mount For Olight M20/M21/M30, Fenix TK11, TK12, TA21, JETBeam M1X/M2S/JET-III M/RRT-1/RRT-2 and many more 1" Diameter size Flashlight: Sports & Outdoors

Good luck on that idea. It won't be as easy as you are hoping for. The bi-pods alone (if you get a good one) aren't light. And remember cheap can also be what you get and might not work for what you are after.
 
For a good website to look at all kinds of accessories, check out RRAGES - Everything You Need To Customize And Accessorize Your Tactical Weapons

I've ordered from them several times, and gotten great service. Somethimes it might be cheaper to go elsewhere, but I've also found them to have competitive prices on a lot of items. Plus, if you are really loading up, you can save on having combined shipping for all your "must-haves".
