Thoughts on Rock River Arms?
 

I have been saving up some money for an AR for some time now, and want to get one before the election. Never know whats going to happen. I've been looking at the predator pursuit from RRA. I would mainly use this as a coyote/praire dog gun. What are everyones thoughts on this model??? Any info would be much appriciated!!!

Thanks in advance!

Incredible rifles, I've shot a few different configurations and they all excelled. I was going to buy a Coyote but couldn't get as much of a discount as I wanted. Still want that gun.

Below is a 3 shot group at 300 yards. That should say it all. Tom.

Best ARs on the market. Nuff Said.

As good as any, better than a lot of them. RRA ranks up there near the top.

I bought a RRA Tasc Riflein 2003. It's been a great rifle. Haven't had a single problem with it. [/align]

My buddy has one and loves it. He had a problem with his, called them up, they had it RMA'd and back to him within 2 weeks, so they have good customer service as well.

Well........just put the order in today on the predator pursuit model. Said it would be around 6-8 weeks before it would arrive. Hopefully i get it a little earlier than that so i can figure out what kind of ammo it likes!!!

You made a great choice there! My Rock Rivers like about everything I've put thru 'em. Right now I am shooting 55gr Ultramax Soft Points.

Wouldn't go that far, but they are good! Get the 2 stage trigger and that will make a difference.I shoot a CMMG and only thing I want to do is have a 2stage trigger put in.There are other mods but the trigger mod is one of the most functional changes I would do...shoulda ordered that way to start![:@]

I looked at one of those Predator's. I thought it was a real dandy. I think you are really going to like it. Good Luck with it, Tom.

There are certainly others that are better, but they cost more.

I am curious how the new one will shoot, I have heard some bad stuff about the new guns and quality control. I ended up going with a Bushmaster upper when I heard that.

RE: Thoughts on Rock River Arms?
 

Please consider this a question. I have read alot of your threads about AR's, and Igive great consideration to what you post about AR's.

However I do have a question for you.IMO the barrel is the most important part of an upper?? My RR has a Wilson barrel that is chambered for the 223 Wylde. Are you saying that barrel is the same on all mfrs. AR's?? Or are you talking about the bolt and other parts. I studied AR's alot before I bought my Varminter. Ibought the RR because of (again IMO) the better barrel, and the 223 Wylde chambering. Was I wrong??

I must have gotten lucky, because I have one of the scary one's. But then I am pretty happy with that. It makes up for my bad luck playing Texas Hold-Em. Tom.

What are some of these "horror" stories you've been hearing about???

RE: Thoughts on Rock River Arms?
 

I have a buddy that brought up his brand new Bushmaster Predator and its the only AR I've ever been around that is a true single shot. We disassembled it and cleaned it an lubed it 3 times. The most we ever got it to shoot in a row was 3 times. We tried a dozen different mags, and about 6 kinds of ammo. Sometimes it would eject the empty, sometimes it wouldn't. Not real sure what its deal is, he was taking it back to the dealer today and seeing what they had to say about it.

A buddy of mine heads a junior high power service rifle team. He got them all RRA NM rifles and almost every one had problems. From loose sites, to barrels. Their customer service was also terrible trying to get them fixed. He said a few years ago they made some awesome rifles, then they got too big too fast and production went up, but quality went down. I guess most service rifle competitors have been experiencing the same thing. I know that he is super picky about rifles, so what may be junk to him, might be awesome to someone else. And btw, he is a Distinguished High Master, and one of the only people in service rifle to shoot a perfect 500.

Also, I have all RRA lower parts in mine, including the NM 2-stage trigger and everything seems to be good. The trigger is really nice. ;)

I can do him a favor and take that piece of crap rifle off his hands for a couple hundred bucks if he wants...;)

Hell, I offered to run it over with my pickup. The trigger on it was sticking, and it wouldn't run semi auto. I thought it'd be a favor to him.
