Re: high powered rifle
actually they call it a M6A2 not an AR 15 do some research I just call it an M4 so everyone knows....and you might be able to build one yourself for half the price but their **** is pretty much the most quality **** you can buy on the market so to each his own

Re: high powered rifle
If you want some serious knockdown power and money is no longer an option...... 338 lapua, .50 bmg, and .375 H&H are some great rounds....but as said before, affordability and big high powered loads do not go hand in hand at all.
As for the "M4" vs. "M4gery" talk....theres quite a few differences, including the "M4" feedramps being cut into the barrel extension and also into the upper receiver unlike traditional AR uppers, "M4" profile barrels have the cut-in allowing for a grenade launcher to be attached, the collapsible stock is usually part of it, but not a defining part of a true "M4" as any entry length buttstock can be put on one without removing its "M4" designation. AR's, M4's, and M16's share 90%+ parts, and the major defining parts differences are the feed ramps, barrel profile, barrel length, upper receiver,...
My "M4" has a 16" M4 profile barrel, ACE skeletonized entry buttstock, M4 feedramps, flattop upper receiver with EOTech.....technically it has everything to be considered an "M4" by most......but until it has select fire to go from single shot to full auto...its my AR or "M4gery".....just like if I built a carry handled, 20" barreled AR.....it wouldnt be an M16 to me until it had a true M16 lower receiver with select fire.

Savages are awesome...I have a Savage .270 for a deer rifle, and a new Savage .17hmr.....the Accu-Trigger on them is the best trigger out of all of my guns and my shots are always dead on and super consistent shot after shot.

Re: high powered rifle
honestly....it was hard to get used to. My cousin was a marine and showed me how they shot and taught me to change towards those tendencies and I'm pretty comfortable with it. The big things to me are the reduced noise compared to the collapsible buttstock, and how solid it feels. I could knock the stock thru someone's face and know it would still be ready to shoot without impinging on the buffer tube. I think the Entry length is primarily for use with bulletproof vests and heavier clothing...its winter here, so its comfy as hell right now...we'll see how it does this summer!
My "M4" has YHM flip up sights on the front and rear with tritium night sights in them......most of the time I just use my EOTech, but sometimes I'll co-witness with my irons sights flipped up, or turn the EOTech off completely. I haven't had an issue being able to use them with the ACE stock.
I have the full length ACE skeletonized stock on order for a 24" barreled AR I'm in mid-build with......really starting to like ACE, YHM, Model1Sales, DPMS, and CMMG as places where I get everything!

Re: high powered rifle
As soon as Im out of this damned marine corps Im getting back into playing with metal.... One of the first things to get is a mill, and I have every intention of making my own AK receiver. Seems pretty easy!

Re: high powered rifle
You can buy unbent, no serial number, receiver flats all day for $15-40 and bend your own...prolly the route I'll go down.

Re: high powered rifle
I just have an EOTech 511......people bitch about the Type N batteries being available, but I have three in my vertical grip, and 2-3 in the Ergo Sure Grip....thats an additional 1000 hours of use after the one in my EOTech finally gives out (bright as hell like it was when I got it).
The EOTech 512 is a really nice model and if you get the lithium AA batteries meant for cameras it will last a really long time between battery changes.

Re: high powered rifle
yea i was going to go with the 512 just because of the batteries.
this is how i have my carry handle cut...i'd rather spend the money on ammo instead of a flip up sight.

Re: high powered rifle
For about the same amount as what a detachable carry handle costs you could pick up a cheaper UTG detachable rear sight....it would look about the same, but allow it to flip down out of sight when you dont want it.
