What kind of optics are you going to add?

Great gun range. Good gunsmith guys.

Saw a good price on a STI Spartan.

Kind of think most of their firearm prices are a little high.

I was pretty certain I knew what the D meant, but the BR had me baffled.

I do have a question though. Just went to Academy to look at ammo and noticed some significant price differences. What do you recommend just for shooting around? They had Moarch Steel for about $8 for 20 rounds up to some Hornadty for about $20 for 20 rounds.

I have a lead on a used Eotech setup and was going to put some Magpul backup folding sights.

I didn't feel the price was too bad. I picked that one up for $950. With this being my first black rifle, it was worth a little extra to me just for the peace of mind knowing that if I had trouble with it I could take it somewhere and get some help.

Walmart has federal value pack ammo 55gr fmj brass. 100 rounds for $40. Best price for the quality of ammo around. I refrain from buying ammo at academy due to prices being higher than at other places where it's readily available. :thumbs2: :fire

Go to the GRB gun show and pick up some HSM ammo.
