I just purchased a DPMS lower with a collapsable stock to go with a DPMS flat top 16-inch upper with a full-length tube and handguard. It's a bit on the freaky looking side but highly functional. I'm now shopping for optics. I like the EOTech 550, but have some questions.
1. Does Bushnell own EOTech? I've had a hard time finding the EOTech website, though there is a Bushnell EOTech site.
2. Will I need a riser? The DPMS folks had a EOTech 550 mounted on a flat top without a riser and it looked like it worked pretty well.
3. The cheapest 550 I found was at RB Precision, for $300. It appears that the version that takes AA batteries is $50 more. I tried to verify this, but as I said, the EOTech website is pretty confusing.
I thought I'd wait to get optics and take my time, but after assembling the gun I now want to hit the range ASAP.
