Default My new RRA AR-15

Its a Rock River Varmint EOP. .223/ 5.56NATO 16" stainless Bull barrel, floating hand grip, RRA stg 2 trigger. Also bought a Cmore ATAC red dot sight with it. Gun and sight are both brand new. New retail for both together should be $1450-1500, got the package deal for $950!! I was a happy man last night. bought it from a good buddy who is in the Tx DPS Narcotics unit. only plans for now is a Hiper Form carbon fiber handgaurd and a bipod.

Well considering i sold my turbo kit and alot of other stuff just to turn Around and drop $2200 on reloading and shooting stuff, guns and shooting took my interest.

Anybody can drop $5000 and put stuff on their 15 sec truck and end up running 12s. No talent/skills needed.
But to be able to take a $400 bone stock factory rifle and work up a load for it and then do sub-moa groups at 1000yds. Or buy some parts and put together a budget bolt rifle that shoots sub .5moa at 600yds. Thats where the fun is for me.

Lol. Anybody buying $5000 in truck parts other people made, installing them, doing all the tuning and practicing launching/different set ups at the track.

VS.

You buying $5000 in gun parts other people made, installing them, doing all the tuning and practicing to send the bullet down the range.

Not much different, only trucks and guns.
