I won't be getting a ruger

holy crap the price of the uppers for the SR-556  :yike:

http://ruger.com/products/sr556Uppers/models.html

SR-556UFB 90356 5.56 NATO 30 n/a n/a n/a $1499.00       
SR-556UC 90358 5.56 NATO 30 n/a n/a n/a $1499.00       
SR-556U6.8 90359 6.8 Rem SPC 25 n/a n/a n/a $1499.00     

Ya know Chris, my first was a DPMS and was a good shooter. I'd buy another in a minute. I've had a DPMS. OLY ARMS and my ROCK RIVER. All work and are milspec as far as I know. All of those uppers should fit any of those lowers.  :twocents:
I couldn't care less about what anybody says..............

Did somebody want the "best" AR?
 How about a JP Precision topped with a Swaro?

I'll see your JP and raise you an RBros/Seekins AR with a Leupold VX6 Multigun 8)



Great, Now I'm going too have to find action shots from 3-gun matches to keep up with the "RBROS"   ;)
 I tried one of the prototype VX6's, I'll keep my Swaro, thanks anyway.

I'll have to admit Glen's 3-gun rifle is pretty damn sweet! I would like to try one someday.

Just buy a La Rue Tactical Rifle. You will not regret it.
