I have a 24" Varmint model and love it. The wait sucked, but it was worth it. It will shoot dime size groups if I do my part.

FL2AK, on your RRA with the Eotech, is that a YHM/RRA rail? Which sights are those?
Nice rifles.

Tim, do you have a scope riser on your Varmint? Did you get the A4 or EOP? I've got a 20" A4 on order.

Well, I have a RRA scout mount to move the scope forward more, and that raises it a bit and I have Leupold Tactical High rings on it. Mine is an A4.

my dealer had a RRA in stock and various other models including Colt...I loved the RRA right from the start and did not like the Colt or several others...mine has the removable handle/peep sight and picatinny rail with a 3-9 Nikon Monarch mounted on it...darn fine rifle and a blast to shoot...the jackrabbits around here are darn nevrous when I am out and about. No problems of any sort...one fine weapon...

People either grouse because you didn't search, or grumble because you resurrect an old thread. Maybe they can start making arbitrary suggestions, like "don't resurrect a thread that is more than 94 days old" or "search, but ignore results that don't match a specific date range, to be determined at a later date."
Nice thread resurrection there guys. 2.5 years old, not bad.
I don't think it was that bad. I was curious recently about RRA, and this thread helped. I also think RRA's QC could have changed over a two year span, so why not use an old thread to show any differences?
Anyway, I'm considering a RRA 9mm AR15 so thanks for the resurrection.

I have an Elite CAR A4 with an Eotech sight. It was in stock one day and I bought it. It works perfectly, is very accurate, and I would recommend it to anyone.

RRA
Rock River may be a well made rifle. But i keep getting the same run around with them. That they are waiting on the barrels from Wilson Arms. I have already talked to Wilson and they have assured me that it isnt them. That they have filled most or all their orders to all. It's been over 12 weeks waiting for them. I will not buy from them ever again. Could have already built one in that kind of time frame.

RRA Elite CAR A4
I am soooooooo happy to read all the positive remarks about RRA in this forum. I ordered an Elite CAR A4 back in May and it's supposed to be here next week!
Quite a long wait... But if everything you guys have said about RRA and their Elite CAR A4 is true, it's going to have been well worth it!

I have a few RRA rifles and have been more than happy with them...
There's a good reason that RRA is now one of the largest producers of ARs...

RRA AR's are very good, and they have outstanding customer service.
I've been waiting on a RRA Elite CAR A4 for a few months now and the shop I go to just got in a few of the Entry Tacticals. I called to check on my order and the guy on the phone told me it could be another 6 months. Think I should pick up the Entry Tactical and bypass the wait? It's $300 more than the one I have on order.
Any thoughts on the Entry Vs. the Elite??

Wow, this thread is nearly 3 years old, but I'll answer anyway.
I have an RRA Entry Tac, and it's a great gun. I probably wouldn't have paid $300 more than an Elite, but that's your call.
They're very similar guns, and they have almost the same MSRP, but if having one right now is worth $300 more for you, then go for it. But you should see if you can talk them down on the price since your other order is taking so long.
If AR's are difficult to find in your area, and you've got the cash, you should think about buying them both if you can get a decent deal on them.

RRA's have a very nice trigger, and the lowers are fairly nice, although the castle nut usually isn't staked. As far as uppers go, if you're looking for an all-around carbine, you could probably get more for your money with BCM or somesuch. You can order a chrome lined barrel from RRA as a factory option on some models (or at least you used to be able to a couple of years ago), and you can get a 5.56x45mm chamber, but they didn't do a very good job staking the gas key screws on mine, and I had to have that done myself. RRA's default barrel profile is rather heavy, which is good if that's what you want, but be aware of it.
On the upside, fit and finish is usually quite good, and they tend to be quite accurate.
I like mine, but I think if I were going to do it over again, I'd probably get a BCM 16" midlength and drop in an aftermarket trigger, RRA or otherwise.

Of all of the AR's that I have shot my RRA midlength chrome lined barrel has by far been the most accurate. I am very pleased with it but I always figured that it was just a luck of the draw setup. I ordered the upper from ADCO and the complete lower from a dealer on Arfcom. The guys at ADCO did some improvements on the upper that most RRA stock guns don't have and I couldn't understand why so many guys had RRAs without good staking on the castle nut or the gas key. I don't know if ADCO still does it or not but they took the time to put mine together VERY well. +1 for RRA and props to ADCO.

I have constantly heard good things about RRA. That being said I still went with a Smith and Wesson M&P15 for my first

Rock River sets the AR hunting rifle standard for me and although I put just as many accessories on mine as the average mall ninja I actually use mine in the field to hunt big game.
When I finally decided to jump on the AR bandwagon, only after they became available in alternative calibers, I did much research.
I went with RRA.
As a matter of fact I'll attach a pic of mine, I bought it with the collapsible stock, but decided I didn't like it and went with a fixed. It's been a reliable and accurate shooter and don't think I'll ever get rid of it.
Here it is a LAR-6 A4 Mid-Length

I built an SPR type upper with a stainless steel 20" RR barrel. Its sub moa but i suspect over gassed as with my can it dumps far more gas in my face than my 16" Colt with same can.
