I have an older Rock River Competition model. Not light weight but it has been very accurate.

Of the one's you list probably the Rock River, once you play with it you will want another and most likely build it from parts. I have one factory built AR and it is a Bushmaster that I bought more than 25 years ago, all my others in the last 25 years are all just built from parts and in my mind are better than any of the factory off the rack stuff.

Buy the one you want, then start pulling parts and replacing with ones you really want... Pretty much any factory built rifle is going to be that way, unless you special order it, if you can. If the RRA has all the bells and whistles you are looking for, I'd buy it. If not, look around a bit and see if there is one that suits your needs/style better... also, if you can go and look at used ones, that is sometimes a good route to take. Some guys may scoff at the suggestion, but I've found many used AR's at really good prices and they were damn good rifles. You just have to take them apart and make sure everything looks sound before you commit to buying it...

The RRA looks like a nice example if it's actually 6.2 pounds.

https://www.sigsauer.com/products/firearms/rifles/tread/That Sig Tread set up with flip ups and Romeo exzactly the set up I'm looking for. Does the Rock river with its two stage trigger compare at all to the Sig?

Yotes , massive ground squirrel shoots. and home/ranch protection. You'll end up with two ARs.

Hope the close up chit never goes down so....... But for now mostly Ranch work mowing critters down. I'm in Idaho so it is legal for deer but we got woofs too. The varmint exploding experience with the AR is just to much fun with plenty to shoot all day. A yote or 4 at night? sure

What about something like this: https://www.stagarms.com/stag-15-rifles/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.

Pics and a range review Shag...
Been a bit nostalgic lately for something very like the M16A1. But I can see advantages with lights and sights on modestly accessorized and more compact versions.
Anybody know if the Colt LT6720 is or ever will be available? If it's not, and won't be, what would it's nearest clone be?
