I have narrowed down my varming and medium/big game rifle, but one thing I havnt figure out is what kind of AR to get. Basically just gonna use it for recreational shooting to compliment going to the range or lack there of and to help hone my markmenship skills. It does need to be pretty similar in specs to our standard issue M4 as far as barrel length I would like to keep it at 14.5" but other than that Im pretty open. Any suggestions? Death from Above

The one thing that is nice about an AR is that no matter what you deside to get is that you can always change out/add parts as your tastes/needs change. Also they are like Lay's potato chips, I bet you don't end up with just one. Thank you for serving and safe travels, Jerry
