I've got two currently, one 18" heavy barreled .223 version that I normally have a 1.5-5x scope on, but swap out a 4.5-14x for coyote season.

The other is a 16" in .300 blackout. It's fun to play with, either shooting hot 125gr TNT's or 220+gr subsonics through my suppressor. It wears the same 1.5-5x scope.

As money comes available, I plan on building another 16" gun, but this one will be a .223 with a midlength gas system. Figure another low powered variable and ill be happy.

I do like the red dot for quick shooting and I can shoote irons fairly decently but have trouble with a red dot at distance; even cranked down real low I'm becoming a very big fan of lower powered variable scopes these days.
