haha nice... want to see something else that's really cool to shoot? Freeze about a half of a 5 gallon bucket of water, then set it outside so the sides thaw out and you have a big chunk of ice. Put a .308 going roughly 2800 fps through the middle of that. Physics is cool.

i have a S&W M&P15A. i love it. in the process of accessorizing it with quad rail, foregrip and holographic sight with magnifyer

ARs are very fun, just not the cheapest gun to buy.

i would stay away from olympic arms as i have heard of some of the lower receivers cracking prematurely.

colt is just waaayy overpriced IMO.

rock river, stag, S&W, bushmaster, armalite, DPMS are all good rifles.

once you get one, stock up on good 30-round mags, next president may do away with them....

Colt ARs are way overpriced. I would go with Bushmaster or Rock River Arms. Looks like you want an M4/CAR15 clone, only suggestion I can think of is to get an A3 upper to make mounting optics easier.

Ive shot sub-moa with my thrown together 16" AR... .095" at 100 meters to be exact with a 55gr Hornady Vmax infront of 24grs of H335..

Once i get my new Delton rifle broken in and cleaned up im goin to see what it shoots. Milk jugs at 400yds is easy so far.
