A golf course is a willful and deliberate misuse of a perfectly good rifle range.
It does look pretty sweet. I just don't understand the need for all the specialized military weapons. You'd think the populous was trading fire on a daily basis. To each their own.
For me, I'd take fine bolt rifle capable of 1/2" groups over an AR type rifle any day.

stat, believe this or not, 1/2" ain't nothin great for an AR.
This is a group from my RRA 24" varminter, fired with cheap reman 55 gr sp ammo.
Not gonna say its the worst group its ever fired but its not the best either, I shoot enough .25" groups to confidantly call it a 1/4 MOA rifle.

The AR platform is modular... one lower can accommodate any number of uppers in a wide range of cartridges and configurations... the MR1 is fixed.
The AR can be configured with a collapsable stock (handy in tight spaces)... MR1 has a fixed stock.
The AR trigger group can be easily changed to allow any feel from the standard military two-stage to a feather light target trigger... MR1 you get the trigger you get, and it's probably crappy.
You can get an AR upper completely without sights if you want, simplifying optics mounting while still retaining the option to install irons if you want them... MR1 has fixed iron sights that will be a major PITA for mounting anything other than a co-witnessed holographic sight. Want to mount an actual telescopic sight, where will the objective need to be? Right where the fixed read sight is. Bummer.
The AR can (and usually does) have a flash hider/compensator... MR1 doesn't. Remember that the purpose of the flash hider is intended to reduce the intensity of the muzzleflash that the SHOOTER sees, in addition to reducing what the enemy sees. Night vision is important. The big fireball coming out of the short MR1's muzzle without a hider will blind the shooter, so he'd better make the first one count if he's shooting in the dark.
New AR-15 competition...
