Thanks a million for all the advice, I know a lot more now than I did 24hrs ago. Before I "pull the trigger" on optics I need to hang around the range and check out some of yall's optics. I've never used a red dot so I don't know if I'd want 2moa, 4moa or even if I want one at all.
I usually follow one of old Ben Franklin's wise sayings "You seldom regret having gotten the best", within reason. That is why I sent the cheap M-4 kit back and ordered a premium w/chrome bore. I'm sure it would have worked fine but I didn't particularly like the finish, too much sheen.

Rick, I may be getting in a wood box that needs a touch of glue on a corner...if so, I'll bring various red dots to your house when I come to get the box fixed for you to look through.
