I sold my Rock River M4 to buy a motorcycle. I know, I know, not smart. I thought I could live without an AR, because I primarily focus on accuracy shooting. I missed having one.
When I read that Knight's just released the new edition of the SR-15, I lucked out, and found a company on Gunbroker that happened to have 10 ordered from shotshow 2007. Mark Gale, from USAutoweapons gave me an amazing deal on an SR with GG&G scopemount, and a Leupold 1.5-5 MRT SPR scope.
Here's the deal (I'll summarize now, and try to expand later): this thing is like no other AR I've ever fired. It's light, way light - 6.5 pounds. Super balanced. the flip up sights and monolithic rail platform are wicked cool, and the SOPMOD stock is awesome. Perfect cheek weld, very comfortable.
Shooting this gun is a pleasure. I was always dissapointed at the "bang-clang-clunk" of my Rock buffer spring compressing, and then working the bolt. This rifle obviously works the same way, but has none of that - it feels like firing a bolt gun. Solid.
The scope is not quite as geared towards close quarters as an EOTech, but for shooting from 100 to 200 yards, it's simply fantastic. at 1.5x the view is "almost" the same as normal vision, and the field of view is quite high. at 5X, my 2 inch circle targets at 200 yards were clearly identifiable, and easily chosen.
Accuracy so far is right around 1 MOA, but since the twist rate is 1:7, I'm needing to experiment a bit more with heavier bullets.
Again, stay tuned for more info, but so far, this thing is an absolute dream.
