Any opinions on these? What are they selling for lately?
I like to do my hunting BEFORE I pull the trigger! There is only one kind of dead, but there are many different kinds of wounded.

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. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BdSz_UQLmlg

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

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?
