I know this probably gets asked a lot but Ive looked over RRA Stag Bushmaster and a few other AR15 makers and I can't find any pricing on what I'm looking for. I am in the first stages of looking at a possible purchase in the future and have been narrowing down what I'm looking for.
I am looking for an AR15 for range use. I want it for practicing shooting from kneeling standing/prone. I also want to get good with iron sights on it. I won't be shooting past 100 yards for now, but I plan to in the future. I have not had any experience with Ar15 rifles before, just the M16. I only plan on buying one rifle and no more uppers or different barrel legths for quite awhile so I want to get it right. The M16 I have had practice with was privately owned, and had an ajustable stock. I didn't like it even fully extented and found it uncomfortable and not soli feeling. So here are the requirements:
I am 6'4". I think I would prefer the length and looks of An A2 stock and I am more of a fan of the looks of a full length rifle too.
I am also looking for a 20" barrel because I figure it will help me out with a longer sight radius for irons. I also want the rear sight to be part of a removeable carry handle so I can have the ability to add optics in the future.
Other features that I really do not know about is the necessity of a chromed barrel vs stainless, and I'm assuming most if not all newer styles have a forward assist? The last question is which chambers will allow me to safely shoot 5.56 and .223.
Lastly comes the big issue: I can't find anything like this, and maybe I'm just not looking in the right places. I'm hoping this stuff is not extra features that would cost more. Ideally I want to keep the price below 1000, and hopefully around 8 or 9, but I'm not even sure this is possible. Any help or suggestions would be great. I'm also happy to answer any questions to narrow down what features I should be looking for.
