For the money, I don't think RRA or S&W can be beat. Should be able to get a great rifle for under a G.
I'm now starting to look at the Smith & Wesson M&P15X Rifle.

They are running a special with this, 5 free magazines:

I'm hoping to purchase it this Monday or Tuesday. I was surprised to find out that I got a bonus from work, which would almost cover the cost of the rifle (after tax). Plus 5 free mags sounds great.
Does anyone know if this comes with a carry case? I didn't see anything about it in the spec's.
TIA
And as always, many thanks for all the replies.
One of the lead firearms/swat instructors at TEEX said if he had to buy a new patrol rifle and did not have unlimited funds, he would get an S&W. He told me that is based on running patrol rifle schools all over the state and seeing every platform imaginable. I don't think you could go wrong with the M&P - and the 5 magpul mags is +/- $100 value.
I have a BM that is ok, but sloppy IMO - it's a DI setup. My LMT is as solid as it gets, but its a piston too. I want an S&W to have a solid DI rifle.
It's on a long list of "wants"
