Zombie thread! I figured I should post a couple of pictures of the setup I ended up putting together. All told, besides the scope and sling I already owned, it ended up costing me around $800. It shoots and cycles well, and I'm very happy with it. The RRA upper's barrel is quite heavy, but I can...

Okay - so the Rock River Arms Predator Pursuit upper with a 20 inch barrel (thought I'd give Google a chance to index this) weighs in at 5 lbs, 11 oz. I should have the lower and scope mount some time next week.

I changed my order to a lower with an A2 stock. From what I've read, it gives better cheek weld, stability (zero wobble), and balance. Ended up going with Eb1's suggestion. The rifle should be coming together as a whole sometime next week (I already have the upper and a magazine).

I've ordered the TMS mount. It should be here by next Tuesday!

Good to hear. I think I'll buy one. $28 for a solid starter scope mount sounds good to me!

HJ857 - No problem. It should be arriving in the next day or two, and I'd be happy to weigh it and let you know. Thanks for the posts, everyone. I've decided to go with the fixed stock for its good cheek weld, more substantial weight, and lack of wobble.

I'm putting together my first AR15 (a varmint rig), and I'd like to find a quality scope mount for $50 or less. Risers absolutely do not appeal to me (I just find them dorky-looking - why add a rail to an already functioning rail?), so I'm on the market for either extra high scope rings or a...

Sounds like I'd better go with the A2. The MOE seems cool, but it won't be practical for a varmint gun. Thanks for the advice, everyone.

I recently purchased a 20" RRA Predator Pursuit upper to set up my first AR as a varmint/predator rifle. I'm trying to decide between a Magpul MOE collapsible stock or a fixed A2 stock. The site I'm pretty much set on buying from (karrisguns.com) has both of these stocks available on fully...

Ooh I'm having last-minute doubts... I'm not sure if the MOE will balance the rifle correctly. I might change my order to a fixed stock if I can. If not, I'll just see how it works out. The A2's have aftermarket weights available, counteracting long/heavy barrels. The collapsibles are handy...

I saw it, but the MOE stock plus sling swivel plate sold me. It's $60 of upgrades for $30 more. Do you know how long it takes for Karri's to ship? My FFL's been in for two days and so far, no communication as far as shipping. I hope it's not one of those multiple-day (or even -week) processing...

After a couple of days of browsing, I ordered this. It's an Aero Precision-made, Surplus Ammo & Arms-marked complete lower receiver with a Magpul MOE stock and ambidextrous sling back plate included for $200, shipped (Props to Eb1 for the link to this site). It sounded like a great deal, so I...

Okay. Thanks again, Eb1! By the way, that's a nice rifle. Good looking setup. Mshootnit - my thoughts exactly, but mostly based on preference. I don't think the anti-gun lobby is nearly as potent as they were leading up to the AW ban, and hopefully they never will be again. With so much...

So you think I should go with a fixed stock? I just kind of like the idea of the collapsible stock better... I know there are some slight wobble issues with the base M4 stock, though.

Oh this is beautiful, Eb1. Great reviews and a great price! I'm leaning toward an M4-style stock and the versatility it provides in possibly changing to a Magpul (or other aftermarket manufacturer's) stock, so I think I'll go with the M4-stocked cousin of what you posted. Nevertheless, thanks...

Made the purchase! So I've been doing a lot of research, and I finally made my purchase today. I found a Rock River Arms Predator Pursuit (20" barreled) complete upper on GunBroker for $545 plus shipping. I felt like it was a very good deal and I'd read nothing but positive reviews of RRA's...

That's good to hear, Art (by the way, good shooting)! I found a review on Cabela's from a buyer that owns the 24" CMMG upper. He says the accuracy is great, so I'm feeling a little bit more positive about the CMMG. One thing about the upper I'm looking at is it doesn't seem to have a front...

So you say the CMMG's accuracy isn't that great? Darn. I guess this isn't going to be as easy as I'd hoped. I mean, a $730 varmint AR sounds great, right? The thing is, I'm working with a fairly small budget. Eb1, I did look at the White Oak uppers and they look very appealing, but it would...

Thanks for the responses, everyone. I'm glad to hear that your experiences with CMMG were positive, and I'll take a look at the DPMS upper. However, I think I'm more interested in the 18" CMMG upper, for a couple of reasons. One factor is a beginner's guide to the AR (this guide pertained to...

I've been on the market for a new varmint rifle ever since I sold my .223 WSSM A-Bolt (for my purposes, the caliber was just stupid). I actually turned a small profit on the rifle, netting $475, and I have $200-300 in additional funds that I'd be willing to spend. I was excited about the Savage...
