A better choice is a Ruger SR-762.I recently scored a DPMS LR308 Lite topped with a Leupold VR-X 4-12 40mm for $1,000. The next day I saw a SR-762 for $1100. No glass. A piston rifle runs a bit better than a DI, but the money was spent. Now I have to wait for some better weather to check it out at the outdoor range. It was 40 degrees with a 38 MPH steady wind on Saturday. Not great for outdoor range visits.

It doesn’t matter. It’s 2018, in America the AR-15 is synonymous with Gun. It’s not going anywhere.
The Commercially available AR-15 is a semi-automatic “replica” of a 50 year old military weapon system. It’s basically Gran-Pappy’s shotgun at this point.

I shot my son's Armalite AR-15 for the first time a few months ago. Nice build quality, shoots well.
Honestly, I'll go back to my Garand. Also, too bad the M-14 never came in a 30-06.
To: Dutch Boy
In the future you will be required to register that lethal weapon.

Your picture is an M14 with a select fire switch
As compared to an M1A civilian version with a notch for the switch, but no selector.
Yuuuuuuuge price difference though lol.

I'm sure it does, but my garand shoots nice & straight with almost enjoyable recoil and sends a boat-load of lead downrange.
It's all a sad compromise!

I don’t have the statistics, but the AR-15 is obviously a popular platform...so the CBS claim is kind of like saying that most car accidents happen within a mile of home. Not surprising since drivers probably spend more “behind the wheel” time driving to and from home than most other places. Your mileage may vary...
