I just hooked up with this rock river arms varmint with a 20" ss bull barrel wylde chamber for an absolute steal @ $920 brand new in box out the door. Before you ask, yes... my other varmint rifle is sold. 18" to 20" barrel on an AR is perfect IMO. It was really hard selling my old RRA varmint rifle as she was soooo accurate. This is my 100% 5.56 precision bench rifle / prone shooting at the 600yard range.
I'm really pumped about the upper to lower fit. I got really lucky and the fit is ultra tight. Damn near on par with with LMT.
Now I just need to cross my fingers that she is a shooter. I've never had a rock river let me down yet. Possible bug holes incoming.
So far, my larue LT158 has been performing like a champ being flip flopped between my LMT, ATH, and now my varmint. It has been so easy just popping the scope off and putting it on another rifle with the zero between rifles only a click or two away.... so I said f#ck it, why buy another scope! The zero between .223 and .308 AR's is damn near identical @ 100yards I've found out and the DOPE is different anyway @ 300 / 600yards.. so far it's worked perfectly. Sub-moa groups no problem between my LMT & ATH. Crossing fingers now with this new varmint rifle.
Will keep you updated with range reports.
