Default RE: considering purchasing an AR-15 at some point in the future

I want one just because I miss my M-16. Not to be offensive, but I find it sort of comical to see high powered scopes on some of these. They're tactical rifles but I guess you use them for varmints so that makes sense I guess....

I agree that AR-15's are tactical rifles which make their popularity so absurd. What is more absurd is the way so many guys "dress them up" like they are going to Iraq in the morning. My AR's are plinkers as they are for most civilians here in the US. The new uppers with match grade barrels do make great varmint guns that are probably more accurate than most low end bolt guns that hunters take in the woods. I am drawn to AR's like flies to honey, but in truth, I prefer to shoot my bolt guns. As comical as you find the high powered scopes on AR's, I find the guns tricked out for combat just as comical. If you want to see some really "tricked" combat guns, you need to visit http://www.ar-15.com .
