Not on RRAs..

Anyone in the Valley carry the RRA's or does Rob?

I know my bud in Billings bought one and really likes it, says that there's a shop up there that's great to work with.

Haven't seen one in a rack around here.. Your boys at SH should be able to order one?

Or on the internet..

Thx, did you scope yours and if so with what?

Dober

Bushnell 3200 10x Tactical.

That's my kind of rig, cept I'd go with a variable so the G-kids can find their spot easier.

What do you run in yours?

Thx
Dober

Loves 40 gr. bullets across the board - varmeggedons, vmaxes, bt's.. Shoots those 55 gr. nosler cup and cores really well..

That coyote went to a 70 gr. VLD, which fly very nicely, too.

Rancho what does that rifle weight?

A lot!

I'll go put it on the scale and see..

10 lbs. 10 oz. unloaded, with bipod.. Full 20 round Pmag is another 12 ounces.

Sounds like my noveske vis! I may as well add a bipod to that one.

Mark,

This is the route I would go. Rock River 16" light contour (you'll go deaf with either a 16 or 20 without muffs or plugs, so may as well keep some handy) mid-length, flat top, Burris rings, Weaver K scope. Goes 7.5 pounds or a little less as pictured so should be 8 or so with a sling, mag and five rounds. I'm in it for $949, including scope and rings. I will let you know how it shoots in a week or two. Also RRA two-stage trigger is good for me.

Get the varmint upper that suits you from White Oak Armament for $600 and match it to the lower of your choice.

I know I am a little late to the party, but if the OP doesn't mind buying used, there are some bargains on AR's floating around right now. I have bought 6 brand name (4 Bushmasters, a Rock River, and an Armalite) flat top carbines in the last few weeks and paid an average of about $700 each.

Buy a Colt 6920 and don't look back.

FWIW I've shot 20 inch tubes a LOT and a fair amount of 16s. While neither is quite( is any gun?) the 16s are a LOT louder than the 20s...

It would be hard to beat the Colt.

Depending on how much accuracy you want and what kind of trigger you call a "good" trigger, it could be VERY easy to beat the Colt.

Yep I"ve owned a Colt. 2 actually. That was when we started competition shooting and lets just say we owned more than 2 ARs. And I never bought another Colt.

Here's a Rock River lower with the NM trigger for $360. Just add a WOA upper for around $600 and you're good to go for right at $1000.
