Yotes , massive ground squirrel shoots. and home/ranch protection. You'll end up with two ARs. I can use any of my ar's to do what he outlined. The fact he'll end up with 2, goes without saying. He'll probably end up with 4 or 5 or 10 like the rest of us. Well BSA that's why I enjoy your posts, you have a great reality. MB

What about something like this: https://www.stagarms.com/stag-15-rifles/![[Linked Image from cdn11.bigcommerce.com]](https://cdn11.bigcommerce.com/s-yrjoy4/images/stencil/2048x2048/products/587/6386/STAG15000102-1__61592.1574491940.jpg) As I recall, Stag performed very well in the Black Rifle Challenge. When Bud's has them they are usually around $850.00, and once they complete their move to Cheyenne, you would be supporting a great Wyoming Company. I like that one. I had a heavy barreled stag and it ran flawlessly. The only reason i got rid of it was because a new ar shooter needed a left handed ar really bad. I sold it to her and she loves it. Honestly, another reason i sold it was because i didnt like picking up brass on both sides of the bench. Stag makes a great rifle for their price point.
I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA

The tikka's have been pretty horny lately too. At least they have good taste in optics

Yotes , massive ground squirrel shoots. and home/ranch protection. Prolly just put flip ups and was looking at the Sig Romeo 5 red dot type. With those specs you can't do it with one upper. You need two different uppers. The lower definitely needs a 2 state trigger. Actually, you want 2 different rifles. you can't do it with just one. Actually, you might be able to do it all with 3 or 4 rifles. Build them the way you want them. kwg

Or one gun and lever mounted optics.
I used to keep one higher powered scope in a LaRue mount and would switch it out when I wanted to go shoot steel. Then I got a couple of good 1-4's and I just use those for pretty near everything. I suppose one could up the ante and get a 1-8 with IR and be well set.
But 3 or 4 different guns is much more funner!

http://www.slip2000.com/blog/s-w-a-t-magazine-filthy-14/I got rid of bushmaster and Rockriver guns, Bravo Company make a very good gun for the money. If your just a casual shooter I guess anything will work, but sometimes things in life are not casual, so why waste your money on something that might break when you need it most? "We know that not all ARs are the same, and only a fool believes that “parts are parts.” extractor spring was replaced at 13,010 rounds. two bolt lugs broke at 16,400 rounds it was cleaned once (as in one time), at 26,245 rounds.

Who's barrel did you use? Ballistic Adv modern series. Initial sighting 75yds dime size groups. Still messing around with different weight stuff but it appears to love factory 62gr stuff from Freedom Munitions. Long ways to go yet but I’m very pleased at this point. Busy as hell enjoying life sorry for slow reply’s.

See if you can slide your scope back and forth on the rail. Bobro has had its share of problems.
