Ordered my first AR!!

[XDforever]

Just finished the order online a couple of hours ago through Grab A Gun for my first AR 15.

I vacillated between Springfield's Saint, Ruger's AR 556, Smith's M&P 15, and Savage's MSR 15 Recon. The Ruger and Smith were below $500. The Savage was $768, and the Saint was $799.

I liked the specs on the Savage and the Saint the best. That's probably why they were the most $$$.

Anyways, I went with the Savage MSR 15 Recon as my first AR. Hopefully, Grab A Gun will send me an email to come pick it up in a couple of days. I live within 35 miles of their store. Now to stock up on magazines and ammo.

Congratulations! Always fun when something new comes.

What distance do you plan to shoot?

What optics do you plan to use?

I would have guessed the Saint because of your username.

I know the Savage AR's are pretty new, you'll have to let us know what you think of it! Good choices!

No email to come pick up my new rifle yet. Perhaps tomorrow.

I bought a Ruger AR556 from Grab-A-Gun a few weeks ago.
That $475 price tag got me.
This is my 3rd AR platform rifle.
I added a Bushnell TRS25 Hi Mount red dot to it.
I took it to the range in Texas City and zeroed the open sights first at 50 yds.
Once that was done, I zeroed the red dot and then just shot it for fun for a total of about 250 rounds that first outing.
I had just as much enjoyment from shooting that $475 rifle as I would from shooting a high dollar custom built one.

No email came today. Perhaps Monday will be the day! Here's hoping.

I just picked up my first AR today.
Colt 6920. Been wanting one for awhile and found it for a non insane price. Heck, even at the pawn shops they had more Colts on the wall for a good price.

To bad the ranges are not open over Easter weekend...

Hey xdforever
I just did the same ordered my 1st ar15. The price drop got me. I purchased the armalite 15 defender sporting ar for $682.00. It's available $50 cheaper but I bought it locally
they had to order it so it's in the mail. Ditto on the mags and ammo.
Good luck to you

Well, now it is Wednesday and still no email from Grab A Gun.

Grab a gun takes 5-7 days to process an order, I get anxious also waiting on them but they always come through.

I still have my first AR, SW MP 15, although I have upgraded or rather changed many parts on it. It is getting close to where I want it now, I am starting to think about another AR, maybe a SBR this time. At any rate, I love mine, and hopefully you will love yours as well.

I got both a call and two emails from Grad a Gun this morning to come pick up my new Savage MSR 15 Recon. I went just after lunch. They opened the box and it was love at first sight!!

We are traveling the next few days, but as soon as we get stationary, I will put up some pictures.
