I know where to find a used one for a really reasonable price.
What's the story on these? Everything I hear is good to great.

I have no first hand experience so I was going to withhold my opinion which is not a positive one.

A no-positive second hand opinion?
Please, let me hear it.

Ha, that's what I thought but if you really want it; I think they are heavy, mediocre rifles that are over priced. I don't think they are a poor choice, just not what you pay for. YMMV. This based off what i have seen from other owners and from handling them. Never shot one though.

never shot one but handled one and I was impressed with the quality but hey, its still an AR and a reasonably well built gun with a really good barrel and parts would likely do just as well.
I wouldn't be afraid of it though, I have heard nothing but good reported about them..

The REPR seems to have a number of upgraded features. It is gas piston gun, which I guess adds a little cost and arguably some benefits. I have not heard anyone comment on accuracy. Available with 16", 16" spiral fluted, and 20" barrels.
Interesting rifle, but $3500 worth of interesting? Hmmm...

I wonder if for $1700 the Ruger SR-762 would not work almost as well.

I have an LWRC 556 IC and it's outstanding. I'll get rid of the rest of my AR stuff and keep it.
