    Nice first AR! It's encouraging to hear some LGS are stocking the better brands and know something about the platform.

    Excellent purchase. You did it right the first time.

    Good job doing a little research before your purchase. A lot of times guys jump on the first thing they see without doing some background. You got a great gun. Enjoy.

    Thanks for all the positive feedback. It was kind of hard to swallow pulling the trigger on the purchase when I see Cabelas has a different manufacturer for half the price. But from what I read on here it was a no brainer, and I would rather spend the extra money up front to get a better quality product so that if I ever decide to sell it I can re-coupe my $$$ easier.

    Welcome to the forum.

    When spending this amount of money on your first AR, it's easy to get "buyers remorse" after you take the plunge. Especially if you're still educating yourself on the topic.

    I just deleted about two paragraphs.

    The short version of what I was going to say is that you made a good choice. There won't be any reason to regret your choice down the road.

    Don't regret it . You did awesome. I usually say " Luck is for those who don't prepare." Sounds like you had a little of both! Enjoy and congrats!!!!!

    That rail added to the cost too. When you add up everything that comes with that gun you did well. Have you looked at the 12 O'clock light mounts? Considered a SureFire X300 that rail provides the perfect spot for one.

    Welcome. It's always good to see LGS carrying quality. Both of my LGS top out at S&W MP15 and are 90% Bushy, Stag, and DPMS.

    Don't worry so much about what you can put on that rail. Focus on ammo and training.

    Oh, an lots of people post on here for validation on their purchases, but you seem to have lucked out and picked a good rifle. Consider yourself fortunate, others have not fared so well!
