If you were in my shoes would you go any of those routes? The carry handle is an absolute must as is a sling mount and collapsible stock. Would it be best to get an A2 upper and a scope to the handle? Would that make it easier for coyote hunting/keep my wife satisfied with the handle. Can both of those be zeroed in? Or each time I take off the scope I'd have to residue it and residue the iron target.
I would definitely go with the removable carry handle, but again, I just don't see the point in having one. Why is she so insistent on that?

Since I've never had the carry handle, I really don't know difficult it is to mount stuff to it. I do know that if you ever want to go the red dot/magnifier route, it will be a problem. And I agree you'll want the collapsible stock - I can't imagine why anybody would want one of the solid ones.

As for the "don't plan on doing any major upgrades" part, well, good luck with that. That's half the fun of getting one, and if you upgrade a piece here and there, you won't go broke doing it.
