I do not kick in doors and clear buildings for a living.
I am not in the armed services.
I don't attend carbine classes or shoot 3-gun matches.
Up until now I go to the range and punch holes in paper targets with handguns. I'm looking to branch out and do the same thing at 100 yards with a rifle. I was going down the precision bolt gun avenue when I came to the realization that I should buy an AR because I'll always be able to get a bolt gun.
I live in Massachusetts, so I'm already operation with one hand tied behind my back.
After some exhaustive searches on all the applicable forums I've decided to go with a RRA Predator Pursuit rifle. Instead of buying another brand and replacing perfectly good parts with the new ones I want, I decided to go with a company that will do that from scratch. Here's how I'm ordering it:
- add Magpul PRS stock at factory
- add Daniel Defense 12.0 Quad Rail at factory
- add A.R.M.S. #40L Rear at factory
- add Samson gas block flip front BUIS at factory
- add Ergo Tactical Grip with palm shelf at factory
- add PRi Gas Buster Charging Handle at factory
- add beadblasted barrel option at factory
When it arrives I'm adding a LaRue QD mount Harris bi-pod and a LaRue QD mount SPR 1.5 optics mount. I'm still undecided on which optic I'll clamp inside that mount.
I'm guessing that for $2K(excluding optic), while getting exactly what "I" wanted in my first AR, that I also haven't done myself a disservice concerning quality. I could be wrong?
What do you think?
