M&P 15-22 advise

[christmasstorm]

The main reason I bought this is for my son and I to have fun and shoot. I plan on learning as I go with this as well since it will be my first AR style rifle... That being said, I would like to geek it up a little for my son and well, for me... What optics do you recommend? what forehand grip? Is there anything else I should add to make it have that "tactical" look? Any advise would help. thanks

Yes, just like that... I don't know who is more excited about this thing me or my kid.

I suggest getting really, really good with iron sights before getting any trinkets.
That goes double for your son.

You mean the stock sights? I figured we would do that and add stuff as we went along...
