Best ARs on the market. Nuff Said.

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.

not really enough difference in the parts guns to worry about, they get parts from the same pool of vendors everyone else does, and like about all of them, an average one shoots good the good ones are scary.

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.

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

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.

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.
