Home Forums Hunting & Shooting AR and Tactical Rifles Color me surprised, Bushmaster XM 15

Like you I come from the tradition of shooting small groups at long ranges, but I'm trying to learn new tricks as well. Recently bought some steel and a timer. It's a different kind of shooting.

That is the truth!

Six months ago I had 2.5 AR's, my first, a CMMG "Bargain Bin" bought around 2008 with Faxon Pencil barrel, a BHW on an Aero matched upper and lower started around 2010, and an Aero upper with a BCA 6.5 Grendel barrel built around 2016.

Today I have 6 after adding an LE6920, PSA 10.5 on an Anderson lower, replaced the BCA with an ARP 6.5 Grendel barrel on an Aero lower, a BHW 243LBC on an Aero upper and lower and almost enough parts to build a FrankenGun using the BCA 6.5, a BCA 223 or the original CMMG 223 barrel.

Its all fun man. Good to change it up a bit too, every once in a while.

Thanks for the warning,

Now my question is, how deep this hole gonna be?

It could be very deep. I personally didn't want an AR for the longest time. Being more of a traditionalist bolt gun guy, I figured I didn't have a need for an AR. I came to my senses though. In the last year, I've bought 5 AR's... All decent quality, so the hole can be deep, especially when you start replacing parts to suit your needs. Better triggers a must have, proper stock and grip and handguard are all needed things. That doesn't even include rifle scopes and mounts. I keep my scopes and mounts cheap (Burris now), but still have over $2,000.00 in to just scope mounts and scopes... Only you and your pocket book can decide how deep the hole is going to be, but rest assured it can and will be addicting.
