Optic Upgrades
You've got your rifle. You own several magazines. Your marksmanship is improving, as are your mag changes. You work on your rifle to pistol transitions and vice-versa.
You've upgraded your rifle. You've got your basic skills. Maybe you are unsure which optic to go with. There are so many!
Most people would be best served by a red dot optic. Not the $40 True Glow you find at the discount store. A real red dot. When you can shoot a group like this at 50 yards with your red dot, think about upgrading to a scope:

What kind of scope?
Preferably a fixed low power. An ACOG or similar is the standard. When you upgrade, look at a canted mount for your red dot, or a piggyback red dot option.
Alternately, you may wish to invest in a variable low power scope. Often, these are 1-4x or 1-6x or similar. Many good options out there. Some can nearly duplicate the red dot on the 1x setting. Many have a BDC or similar for longer range shots. Some people leave them set at highest magnification and run a piggyback red dot on top.
If you graduate to a scope, work even more on your marksmanship. Be able to shoot a group like the one above at 100 yards (with quality ammo, of course).
