Big brain move is powered optic with a offset Red dot

First time AR buyer. Seen a Springfield Saint edge for $1159. Is it a good gun?

You can do a ton better for 1150 bucks

Aero is sold out right now it looks like, you’d only be a couple hundred away from a full BCM rifle for that money

I'll look into it. Thanks

No

Yea you can get much better

Or a full LWRC

Modern Springfield isn’t known for the it top of the line shit

What lower receiver parts do you guys run?

Milspec parts, I have some cheap anti walk pins in and meme trigger right now

Other rifle is milspec parts, another set of cheap anti walk pins and a JMT trigger

Milspec, so whatever brand?

Oh god no that’s not what that means

Milspec I usually only hear used as a meme.

Opinions on savage?

Think both of my kits were Anderson’s, but the only thing that’s left are the pins, and detents

What savage

Looks overpriced

Personally I wouldn’t get 224 valk

But savage has a great warranty program

Oh wait, it's 224, not 556. Idk what those go for price wise

224 Valk is ammo type I'm assuming. Sounds hard to find

Not hard to find but expensive, easy to mistake for 5.56 and is a varmit round by design

Really good for pushing that caliber to its limits accuracy and range wise but not a fighting gun

If it's your first AR I'd suggest something more mainstream. 556, .308, etc

I was going for a 223. Figured it would be easier to find.

5.56 rifles can safely use .223 ammo, but not the other way around.

hey @Bogs_Bunny what area of MN you in?

@squidsoup0 Duluth

no shit

me too

@squidsoup0 lol yeah I saw in our state room

5.56 can shoot 223? Holy shit. That's game changing information

Oh thats right haha. Theres so many rooms here i forget which ones i said things in

Don't do the reverse lol 223 cannot shoot 556

You ever go out to that range in superior out by the train tracks?

Heard if you wanna shoot 223 that you should probably get a beefier barrel

@squidsoup0 never been to a range to be honest.

where do you go shooting?
