I would stay away from poly lowers as well. I know a few people that have them and have no problems (yet), but the weight difference isn't enough to justify having a poly over an aluminum.

Bhobbs brings up a good point about the quad rails. That said, you could go with a piece that has a full rail across the top, and just a nub on the sides and bottom for a grip. If all you're going to do is put an optic, you really don't need it. If you want a foregrip, you could go with Magpul's MOE, which will allow for one, while keeping weight down. I have a rail that I mentioned, because I wanted BUIS on mine instead of a fixed front sight post. I could have went with a railed gas block, but I didn't.

PSA is a great site, but their shipping prices increased by quite a bit recently. I would wait until you find a free shipping deal with them. 4th of July sales will be coming within a month and a half

Not really, 1000 round cases of brass case boxer primed Privi are below $600.

Between re-loading and not bump-firing .308, I'd come out ahead... 30 rds of 5.56 don't last very long around me

I do as well... .338 lapua is expensive.


I agree with .308. Although my .308 is my competition rifle for my precision rifle matches so those bullets are expensive .

AR15 is a pleasure to shoot, and even kids can handle it, I'll always have at least one.

Cheaper than my Barrett M95 to shoot. The last case of Hornady .50 A-max 750 grain cost me $870 for a 100 rounds! But... it's worth every penny!

I've been exploring the Idea of an MRAD in .308 but the wife is not onboard with the price of the rifle.... YET!

Yeah, but you're shooting that high-dollar ammo!

A local guy is reloading black tips for $380-100... haven't tried it yet, but couldn't beat the price, especially when flinchers want to shoot it... AMAX is a waste then.
