Any opinions on these? What are they selling for lately?

From what I've heard they're fine.
Keep in mind: Carbine length gas, not chromed or nitrided barrel and non-standard delta ring.

I bought one at the end of last year and very happy with it. I am not much of a rifle person any more and really only bought it on a whim. The fit is really nice, better than I expected for a 589.00 AR. I only have 200 rounds through it shooting 55 grain PMC, a little Wolf and some of my reloads. No problems at all so far. I don't think you could go wrong with it. A good video from Hickcok45 Is here.

LGS sells them as fast as he can get them in.


Slaves get what they need. Free men get what they want.

Rehabilitation is way overrated.

I ordered one today.
If it is not acceptable I can always sell it for twice the price if Hillary gets elected. Right?

It came today. It was worth what I paid for it.
I will leave it under my pillow and see if the trigger fairy comes to lighten the pull a bit.

I think you will be happy with it. I actually like the trigger and I did not even have to sleep with it first. Ruger has some good videos if your new to Ar platform on breakdown and cleaning. Have fun.

I had a DPMS with a heavy barrel I shot in competition but they did not allow flattops.
No good way to mount a scope. My eyesight demands a scope now that I am old and decrepit.
I like the adjustable stock too.
I intend to torment the coyotes with it.

I finally got around to trying out some handloads in the new Ruger.
It really loves the 40 gr VMAX Hornady.
I can't wait to put the cross hairs on a varmint.

A little barrel heavy. I think they would be a nicer balance with a fixed A2. Other than that, they look fine. I have not shot one so I would only be able to pass on what others have said. There are some proprietary parts so doing any changes would be add an extra layer of cost. Adding a scope would be a nice solution to the balance.

Mine came with a 6X scope.
If the trigger pull was cut in half I think it would be perfect.

I liked mine so much we ordered another for my son.
I see them referred to on utube as "entry level"?
They function and are accurate what more could you want?
