New Rock River

[schafe]

My first venture into AR land. I'm a real beginner on these.
I thought I needed a "modern" rifle since I only had WWll vintage rifles up to this point.
I bought this @ Bradis last weekend during their festivities.
I am hoping to run some rounds through it this weekend. Maybe Sunday @ Atterbury? Just don't know yet.
Thanks to the helpful guys at Bradis for spending the time to answer all my novice questions.
They fed me lunch, I talked with Shooter521 inside, and BWFrame @ the INGO stand outside, and bought a new INGO shirt too.It's always good to talk to other INGOers.
Bradis made it all too much fun to part with my money.

Nice rifle! Great choice with the Rock River, let us all know how it goes. Have you thought about making any modifications or adding any accessories...optic, maybe?

Enjoy!

I'd be interested in seeing an updated picture a year from now.

great choice on the Rock River Ar15. I just got my Mid length Lar-15 and I love it. it has been nothing but flawless and everything i could ask for in a rifle. super accurate quality made rifle.

I guess you guys could be right about this AR disease I hear tell of.
I have to say, though, the ole piggy bank is lookin' kinda emaciated right now. I'm waiting on payday just for ammo!!

Great choice on a first AR!!! Rock River makes among the best of the ARs, although many are so good you would be hard pressed to tell one from another.

For what it's worth, I had Rock River build a competition AR for my daughter as a Christmas gift many years ago. That rifle has been flat out amazing, although the person using it is a pretty good shot!

Enjoy!!!!

Great choice! I bought a RRA AR15 about a year ago and have had no issues with it. I liked it so much I just purchased another one!

I got a Rock River also a couple of weeks ago and shot it for the first time today. Very smooth action and shot 150 rounds without missing a beat. You will be very happy with it!

Love mine! Never thought a basic AR could be so accurate.
Good choice!

+1 A week ago I had one AR15 and now I have 3. When the fever hits it hits hard Next payday it's time for more ammo.

Knowing Schafe pretty well. I can say he believes in the KISS system.

Congrats! Hope you reload your own ammo, if not thats the next hobby for sure!

 

[schafe]

Well I ran about 50 rounds thru it @ Atterbury Sunday. It zeroed quickly and ran like a top. I can see I'll need some more mags and ammo right quickly.
I'm pretty sure Chickenman liked it too. Smiles all around

Can't go wrong with Rock River. Mine zeroed very fast as well. Even the RRA tactical carry handle I later ordered zeroed fast. ARs are great; buying all that ammo, not so much.
