Damn, getting the ACOG, eh? That's certainly the gold standard. That's out of my price range (if I dropped that much on one addition to the rifle I fear the wife would use it on me). Let me know how you like it. Never seen one in real life.
A great example of buying cool shit you don't need is my pistol grip/flashlight holder that fits on the bottom of the foregrip. It's extremely functional - if you're storming a building in the dark. At the range, however, it's useless. Adds needless weight and just gets in the way. The day may come when that it will come in handy, so I'm keeping it, but for now it's basically $150 worth of junk sitting in a drawer.
Some additions I'd recommend (and if you've got the scratch to pick up an ACOG, you can afford these) Magpul stock (either ACS or UBR), and a Geissele competition trigger. I also just upgraded to a free float 11" battle rail that should be waiting for me when I get home tonight. I'll probably install that bad boy over the weekend.
