RamrodOptics/Light
I just acquired a Stag .223 (Mod. A2) and wish to add a Light and Optics (Scope, Halo, or Red Dot). I am an AR novice and would like any suggestions on what to select. I want it primarily for home defense and varmit hunting. I'am sure this is a pretty general question but any recommendations from some of the experts here would be appreciated. Thanks, Mike

For lights look to Shurefire.
They can be expensive, but a cheap way is to use a 1 scope ring and the Nitrolon light.
Also the Streamlight TLR-2, which is a light and a laser has worked well for me.
For a sight useable indoors and outdoors I would recommend the Doctor Optic, Aimpoint, EO-Tech, or the Leupold CQT.
I would use factory loads with Ballistic Tips.

Lloyd SmaleI know its tough to spend almost as much on optics as the gun cost but i like aimpoints and trigicons.
