I'm a Canon whore myself (I have the 5D). But, you can't go wrong with either Nikon or Canon SLRs. By the looks of your picture you must have a pretty nice light studio. Are you specifically using a flash head or strobes (I have Alien Bees)?

Awesome...I just get ribbed sometimes by Canon guys...I went Nikon because I had Nikon lenses from "those old" film days.
Some say you can build a just as 'good' or 'better' gun for that kind of money. Price is all relative. I'd rather buy a good platform that is put together correctly out of the box than try and build it myself.
With that being said - you can't go wrong with a Stag.

Looks awesome but bridging the gap with your scope mounts between the upper and handguard is a big no-no.

Good catch, didn't even notice that. You might wanna change that bud.

Is that a stag gas block? How do you like it. I've been considering one for an A3.

Because they are two independent pieces that can be on two entirely different planes. Plus the handgaurd could twist or move and really foul up the scope. It is considered bad practice.
Maintenance, would you remove the handguards for cleaning...

Fair question.
The easiest way to describe the error here is to put it to numbers. If you have the scope mounted to the upper and the handguard - however the handguard is mounted -the handguard could twist under lots of rounds. If it does twist, it could shift the point of aim on the scope as much as an inch at 10 yards - or more.
10 yards = 1 inch
100 yards = 10 inches
300 yards = 30 inches
I've seen it happen - pretty much means you don't have a chance of hitting your target. If you need to mount your scope further out over your rifle, there are mounts that will accomplish this - basically, they will push the optic forward while mounting on the solid frame of the upper. Larue, Am. Defense, and a few others have forward mounting rings that are made to alleviate this exact issue.

The Burris PEPPR is also an option if you don't need the quick release option.

Speaking of mounting optics not half on the forend and half on the upper receiver:
I keep looking at pictures of aimpoint T-1s, and I see most people have them on the receiver, but I see some people who have them mostly on the receiver and somewhat on the handguard rails. I'm assuming it's wrong to have it half-on like that. Comments?
