This reads like a shooting club after the range closes, and the bar opens. :)
My piece of advice is, if you're not buying a scope for your rifle, get an electronic red-dot sight for it. No matter how young your eyes, or how expert you are with an iron sight, electronic sights have been a game-changer for our infantry in this war. You owe yourself nothing less. Just be prepared to spend good money for a quality one like Eotech or Aimpoint. You can even add a 3x magnifier that sits behind the device, allowing for longer shots from what is essentially a close-in sight.
My only other advice is the old Wall Street adage, "buy on rumor, sell on news." The hot rumor at the SHOT show was that night vision is on the top of the list, because they feel that nobody will defend it, and they can confiscate it all easily.
Chking it now!
