Interested in your review with the red dot, I am denting which route to go for an optic. I need one for the sig and RRA lar-8. I'm considering a red dot (xps, aimpoint micro, etc) for the sig and something with magnification for the lar-8. The big reservation I have is the RRA is already pretty heavy

Sorry the sig 556r. There is a review of the rifle by another member under this same section of the forum

Nice looking rifle. I've been considering a 22 for a while now, in large part because of the cost of ammo. So many wants, it's hard convincing the wife they're all necessities ;)

If you haven't already bought a lower, I would look at the new gen 556r. By the time you factor in the availability and cost of the other ammo calibers listed above (aside from 223/556)....not long before you save some serious coin by sticking with the 7.62x39 That's a main reason I bought the sig..li wanted to have a semi auto in 30 cal. I now have the lar-8 as well...but that's a different story

Nice review, thanks for the wedge recommendation...I thought that the rubber wedge was the only option. I just ordered one. How does the furniture fit (handguard)? Mine has a little play. I like mine, I put the sig diopter sights on, a ddles adapter, buffer, and magpul STR stock. It looks like you have something near the ejection site, is that for the brass kisses?

Thanks John

I have recently acquired iron sights for my LAR -8 (midwest industries) and rotary diopter sights for my 556r. I decided I wanted to get fairly proficient in shooting with iron sights I am going to ask, what may be a stupid question, but where can I find what the sight picture should look like? I have searched the Internet and haven't been able to find a good resource. I also didn't know if the 25m sighting system (to zero the sights) used for 223 would work for the 308 and 7.62x39. Thanks in advance!

I received the same response

Great!  Need more corporate citizens with brass balls like this!  I think if firearm manufacturers and other outdoor sports product manufacturers pulled their products from stores like Dick's, they would begin to see the combined influence of the firearm/hunting/sportsman communities.

I'm not sure if it has just been a long day, but I read that report and it confused the hell out of me. It read like they found the canta shotgun, but then determined there is no such thing as a Russian canta...but there is a Saiga 12g. I agree that it doesn't really say what he used. Seems like it should be a relatively easy set of facts to get straight.

Updated information on the shooting in NM.  This account of the events and the kids actions makes me sick.   http://news.yahoo.com/teen-planned-attack-walmart-killing-family-154951568--abc-news-topstories.html

I just read about it, interesting.  What's the saying "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it?"   I think there is a general feeling among the libs that something like that couldn't happen in this day and age (especially on a larger scale).  

Wow, I don't even know what to say.

The frequency is disturbing. I firmly believe that we haven't won this fight with the current administration yet. I don't have a lot of confidence in the backbone of congress either with the recent fiscal cliff and debt ceiling "caves".

Never mind, the article I reference is already posted.

Exactly, I think that the parties are more similar than different...that the divisiveness is more show than reality. I vote repub b/c they're the lesser of two evils. We are moving more to an aristocracy where the elected officials are more concerned with staying in power than representing their constituents. There are exceptions, but in general this is the way I see it.

I think all of us have had posts come across wrong or otherwise our intent misinterpreted. Lord knows I have!

Thanks!  Sent my comments in.

I concur!  Everyone can start by reading my wanted ad :rock:

Every libtard needs to read this. The LEO don't live at your home, and therefore are limited in their ability to protect you and your family.

Well stated David, furthermore I think to hypothesize on a public forum what our collective response would/should be isn't very prudent to begin with.  To be honest, I don't know where I would end up in a worst case scenario - but then again I try to deal with what's in front of me and my family and not "what-if scenarios".    On another note, I have to imagine that this debate and the ongoing debt ceiling (and budget) debate will be negotiated in tandem within the walls of congress and the executive branch.  They will be used as pawns to negotiate with.

I'm just waiting for them to announce the federal "Cash for Clips" program, with all that $ they just appropriated.

Since when did facts get in the way of a good soundbite :pleased:

What is this BS?http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/ticket/obama-unveils-sweeping-plan-battle-gun-violence-165956859--politics.html   "In keeping with the president’s promises, his proposals would limit the manufacture of new assault weapons and ammunition clips with more than 10 bullets – but would not affect those already on the market."
