WK180 set up

[VanIsleCam]

I'm going to wait and see how it shoots out of the box first, then see what pics get posted of others mods before I spend any money on it.

I've got a Nikon P223 scope around here somewhere I'll throw on it.

See that's my problem - I don't have anything to put on it when it arrives....

For the sake of being on topic for once, I've got some Foliage Green Magpul stuff that will go on this rifle and I'm thinking about a magnified optic, maybe 1-4, or 1-6.

I do know I'm going to run it like it's rented once I have it.

That's why I just had to go with the Bushnell rebate last month.
Got my 60 bucks back already and still waiting to mount er.

And you can use that $60 when you need to send it back under warranty.

The WK takes AR triggers? I am on the preorder but honestly I haven't really researched the gun... At all. I just buy everything new that makes it up here.

You only need ammo to put in it, maybe some flip up iron sights or a cheap red dot. Just shoot it and figure out what it needs rather than buying stuff before you've even held the rifle.

All good - have ammo, have extra mags but what are you thinking for flip up irons?

Something lightweight and affordable. Probably MBUS.

I'll also have some variety of red dot on mine though.

Mine will just be getting a Leupold 30mm cantilever mount and Vortex viper 2.5-10x44 scope along with a M-lok bipod adaptor

Probably Magpul flip-ups if I was on a budget and just wanted to get out shooting. Either that or scour the EE for some decent irons.

If you want a good scope on a budget I would look at the Hi-Lux CMR 1-4 from Wolverine. For $400ish dollars there aren't many scopes that can touch it even if you raise the budget to $800.
They're currently only showing the 7.62x39 reticle model in stock but the 223 model is perfect for a rifle like this. https://www.wolverinesupplies.com/P...i-Lux-CMR-1-4x24-w-Illum--Red-7-62x39-Reticle

If I had one on the way I'd be putting on my CMR 1-4, Aimpoint T1, or Aimpoint PRO and skipping the flip-ups altogether.
I have an original AR-180B-2 and it has built in irons which are great but optics end up too tall with the factory stock. I only put a scope on it for load testing. Eventually I plan to get one of the RWA uppers so I can build an upper in 300BLK for my 180.
