Once you shoot / hunt supressed you are hooked.

I am of no help, but I will just say that the handguard on the RRA is just awesome :drool: :drool: :drool: :drool:
If you mean the RRA Winter Trigger Guard, It's a $15 item, and can be put on any AR. I have them on all 5 of my ARs--well 4. I just sold one of them tonight. :tup:

I think he meant the foreend with those footprint cutouts.I am of no help, but I will just say that the handguard on the RRA is just awesome :drool: :drool: :drool: :drool:

I would chose the RRA.
I like the buttstock better, its a pound lighter and a couple inches shorter, can fire 5.56 and .223, and has the cool tube up front with the rails in the right spots so you could have a scope and put nightvision in front of it if you wanted to do some night hunting, but nothing on the bottom and sides to chew up your hands. Plus barrel is already thread so you could suppress it.

Oh, yeah--the Fred Eichler special. A friend of mine looked at one, and the footprint handguard was the one thing he DIDN'T like. :dunno:

I would pick the Windham. I know looks don't count for squat but I think that particular RRA looks like poop... just my :twocents:.
The main thing I don't like is that fixed buttstock that looks like a 6-position Operator Stock. :tdown:
By the way, If you don't like your AR trigger, the RRA 2-stage NM trigger will go in any brand lower. (Assuming they are Mil-spec lowers, of course.)

With the AR I just bought, what ammo would you guys start with. Eventually I will reload, but I don't have all the components yet so am just going to buy some factory match grade. It is .223 rem 1:8 twist on a 20" barrel. What brand, grain, etc???? I will be primarily hunting coyotes with it.
Thanks
I use the cheapest ammo I can get. PMC is pretty good.

Right now, the ammo you should shoot is any ammo you can GET! Good luck...:yeah:

Both are good picks. I just picked up my first ace stock. It's o.k but I like the stock on the RRA better. Also hard to beat the rra 2 stage :tup: One of the best triggers I have shot in the ar's.This, for the very same reasons.
Also, the Wylde chamber will shoot 5.56, it seems the Wyndham is .223 only.
Both should shoot...It suggests in the link that the Wyndham has a Compass Lake barrel?...That's not screwing around.

I just shot my RRA Predator 1/8 with 3 different types of ammo.(5rd groups)With the AR I just bought, what ammo would you guys start with. Eventually I will reload, but I don't have all the components yet so am just going to buy some factory match grade. It is .223 rem 1:8 twist on a 20" barrel. What brand, grain, etc???? I will be primarily hunting coyotes with it.
Thanks
Black Hills 75gr (I think it's Amax)...about an inch...each group had a flier
Black Hills 52gr HP (I think they're MatchKings)...about an inch....each group had a flier.
HSM 77gr MatchKings....under 3/4" consistently, no fliers....shot about an inch lower than the Black Hills 75gr.
I have not run any of these through a chrono.
Black Hills 60gr Ballistic Tips have been extremely accurate, also.
