Show off your Rock River Arms ar's !!!

[elfster1234]

Most of you know I'm a huge fan of RRA ar's, so I figured I would start this thread being that they have one for gaps, obr's, lmt's, blah blah blah. IMO, the best bang for your buck AR's on the market. I'll get this going:

20" varmint A4

18" ATH

 

[elfster1234]

Here are some that I previously owned:

16" elite operator

18" EOP varmint A4

Hi, nice groups! I have to say also thats a beautiful range you get to shoot at!! Where is the range? I 'm in Hawaii and lucky that we do have a public shooting range, although we are shut down now for emergency repair and renovation due to a few strays hitting a house and a few cars near by. Also like using Varget! Have a few small groups with W748.
Keep up the great shooting!

 

[elfster1234]

It's a 600yard range in north / west Wisconsin

& I think I just found a place that's not too far away that is well over 1k

Only RRA I own isn't a precision gun but I do love the rifle.

 

[Nuke Man]

Here's Queen Latifa. She's big, black and loud.Its a LAR-8 standard A4 with the advanced half quad, Bennie Cooley brake, LaRue mount and Vortex Midway special scope.

Elfster, there is a 1200 yard range just north of Madison. Winnequah Gun Club.

 

[TravisP]

Her is my Rock River Advanced Tactical Hunter. I have installed a daniel defense 14 inch quad rail. Replaced with a magpul moe plus grip in od green. Ordered the stock from rr in od green. Just put on the Burris e1 illuminated 3x9. Have not sighted it in yet with this scope. Burris rings. Before anyone asks about the pictures, no i do not shoot at the trampoline in the background. If you have questions, let me know.

Thats a sick ATH. I really like the rifle length handguards on them.

 

[elfster1234]

That awesome dude! Ill check that out! Have you been there? Do you need to jump through 100 hoops to shoot at the 1k line? $350 per year tho, ouch! Do you know if they have a daily pass as i didnt see anything online.

The over 1k spot pic i posted above is super close to my house which is great, but i do make it down to the lodi area from time to time.

Thanks for the kick ass info my friend!

Thanks for the compliments on my Rock River. Highly accurate rifles that are affordable with great triggers and barrels.

I have one question for you... does your front scope mount touch the front handrail? or is it completely on the receiver rail?

The front ring is on the receiver. The Daniel Defense quad rail I put on is rock solid but I still would never use the rail for a scope ring/mount, just a bad idea i think.

 

[elfster1234]

yup, make sure its on the main rail... just wondering.

Yeah its hard to tell from pics how people mount optics. I knew what you were after. I have seen people install quad, drop in handguards, non free floating, on their rifles and then use them to mount rings, optics to and then cant figure out how come their rifle will not shoot. Can see some funny stuff out there.

Elfster--I have seen the same groups on other posts and wondered, now I'm asking. I know for a fact that somehow I'm wrong, but I just can't see it.
Let's look at the .391 group you have the calipers on. It appears you're getting a .391 measurement to the outer extremities of the group. By my calculations you should now subtract the bullet diameter-.224- and arrive at a center-center measurement of .167. You know what you're doing without a doubt. Just please explain to ME what you're doing.

And what really throws me is that the group does not LOOK like a .167 group but it would pass as .391 just estimating from the pic.

 

[elfster1234]

I zero'd my calipers on a bullet, then measured outside to outside of bullet hole.

And I've been wondering about this for like...months. I been doing it the hard way, and never wanted to ask cuz it would go down in history as the most stupid question ever asked here. Thank you! I now gladly accept the title of dumbass of the year.

 

[Nosler243Shooter]

Mid-Length A4, It is a dream to shoot.

 

[gravityoutdoors]

I can't show mind of its been 1 year and 1 month, since I ordered my LAR 308. I'm told it should be here any day.

 

[elfster1234]

You ordered yours direct from rra?

[sulcop96]

Mine, I have two uppers for it, one for CQB (A4 with 10.5") and the LRH for short range precision. Our PD issues Bushmasters but on the team they let us use personal as long as it meets department requirements. It is a very accurate platform.

[bluto77]

My very first AR-15. This rifle could shoot, and it was well before I could. I sold it during the craze, which I now regret.

Rock River Tactical Operator 2
Two Stage trigger
Magpul OD Green furniture
EOTech EXPS 2-0

I also ran OD Green PMAG's so it looked really f'n cool! These pics kind of suck, but they're all I have.

Nice!

I ordered from my local gun shop, they ordered from I assume rra. I called rra and they said its because they have had a hard time getting barrels. That was 3 months ago. You would think after a year I would have one. I ordered before the Newtown shooting.

Id never order direct from rra unless you did something custom for some reason. You can usually find them on kentucky gun company or gunbroker for less

Custom build, 20 inch rock river predator persuit upper, free float handguard, stainless bull barrel and chamber. Lower is a USM4 ( US Auto weapons) special forces limited edition (meaning it has the green beret logo or some crap) and the RRA 2 stage trigger that breaks at 3.5 pounds. Ergo grip. Glass is the leupold mkAR 3-9 power with the TMR reticule and firedot, BDC turrets and matching 1 piece scope mount. GREAT scope! Not impressed with the staking on the RRA bcg. I want to get a stainless bcg and an A2 stock, or maybe one with an adjustable cheekweld and LOP.

Thanks. I actually have a bunch of 20 round PMAGs disassembled in my safe. I currently live in CA and can't have them assembled in this state. What you see in the picture is actually a 10/30 Stag magazine.

I move to Austin Texas in 2.5 weeks. Can't wait to use proper mags in all my guns.

 

[elfster1234]

so, have you shot it yet? any group pics?

I sighted it in with American Eagle 5.56 ammo and shot right at 1 MOA but I didn't yet have the monopod. I was shooting with the bipod but no rear support.

Yesterday I had to unmount the scope to get the level installed so I need to sight it in again. Also, I get 100 rounds of Federal Premium Gold Medal Match .223 69gr delivered Monday. I'll be going out Tuesday and trying to get under 0.5 MOA

 

[elfster1234]

id bet money you will get better groups with a rear bag in comparison to the mono pod... especially with that kick ass buttstock

Interesting comment. I always thought a monopod was the way to go...especially because you can screw the monopod up and down to make really small adjustments. Can you school me on why a bag would be better? Do most people shoot better with a bag vs a monopod?

 

[elfster1234]

if you use the correct style rear bag = allows the recoil to flow straight back into your shoulder, not some mono pod to catch on what ever and jump the buttstock... usually, the correct way to use a mono pod is to actually grip the monopod with your hand at an angle which produces more heart beat issues. try it both ways and see what you get... monopod is all about speed / field applications in comparison to not having to drag around a rear bag..... its all about keeping your buttstock at the same elevation when you make the shot IF you're going after small ass groups... at least that is what I do... both are useful tools & would keep both... just different purposes.

btw, I'm not a fan of wedge style rear bags as the buttstock "falls off and down" when the rifle is shot / recoil.... get a rear bag that allows the rifle to flow straight back into your shoulder.

try watching this video to get an idea of what I'm talking about.

I have a PRS on my RRA and definitely prefer a rear bag to the B&T monopod. I just couldn't get as steady and my groups were opening up. I watched all the videos of tips/tricks but codn't get comfortable with it. I ultimately gave it to a friend of mine and he loves it. It is all a preference thing.
