Been wanted to add an AR type rifle to the collection in .223 for some time; put it off for years than there was a run on all things "black rifle" related at the end of 2012 and figured I really did not need one based on the other rifles and hundguns in my collection. Really just wanted an entry level AR for target shooting/plinking etc that I could keep in the safe with some ammo and mags just in case if any of it became scarce again and I can use it on occasion.
Considered getting a Ruger Mini-14 LE black/SS but not what I really wanted. Considered RRA, DPMS and S&W M&P sport ....short version I went with the S&W M&P Sport with (1) 30rnd PMAG Magpuls...OTD price with fees ended up being $655; just ordered (5) additional 30rnd MAGPU PMAG Gen 2s for $58 with shipping. Now for some ammo and a sling and to see what I am going to sell to pay for this addition Anyway and comments are appreciated and any suggestions on any other accessories that are recomened including a sling. Thanks.
