The rifle you just bought may have been a bit spendy, but the ammo, mags, reloading dies and components, sling, rail, and light are not exactly free, either.
Notice that I made no mention of an optic. I will save and try one on the new Benelli, but I don’t know what I want and that isn’t usually my problem. I really love the concept of the dual illuminated RMR, and the rifle will primarily be a bedside gun, but the 7 MOA dot gives me pause when the range walks out to 65 yards. I like the reticle in the EOTech, but would rather not screw with batteries and power switches. Oh, and I watched one shit the bed at the range which did not instill great confidence. I don’t want an Aimpoint on this rifle, so that helps simplify the choice.
Honestly, I am probably going to try the EOTech, first. And no, I am not adding a laser, conventional scope, magnifier, VFG, AFG, bi-pod, or grippod to this thing. The only accessories I ever actually use on a gun are, in order: slings, lights, and optics. Anything else is just making a very well balanced rifle into a muzzle-heavy pig.
