Blackhawk
Been doing my research and bit the bullet on a AR-556 today. Im not an AR lover, but figured never bad to add a gun to the collection and have a semi auto rifle in the bunch wont hurt. I dont shoot nearly as much as i used to,or want to, but i was out of town and a Cabelas was on my way home.
Im not a rifle shooter, have a few bolt guns (.300 mag and .223) to hunt with, but with points and gift cards it only cost me about $300 out of pocket w/xtra mag and little ammo.
I happened to be coming home with the hunt club en route. Pulled off the road and put a handful of rounds through it and im happy. I wasnt shooting at any distance, but hitting the 20 oz bottle as it landed was good enough. The fit and finish on the gun looked very good upon inspection, and the function of the gun was good. I was not sure about running with flip up/iron sights, but they were fine. A red dot might be in future for faster acquiring of target, but i might keep it bone stock and just enjoy it. This rifle will be a gun to let the wife shoot because she likes shooting my "machine gun" SR-22 (10/22), and a good gun for playing with. Will certainly try to put it through its paces and have fun with the gun, but pleased after a handful of rounds.
