I recently took the Front Sight practical rifle course in Nevada and loved it. However, I soon realized that unless you are consistently a crack shot with open sights at 50, 100 and 200 yards with time constraints there is virtually no way to graduate from the class. I need (want) an AR with good optics. If I add optics on top of my old Colt A2 (with carry handle) I will need an elevator to get up that high to look through it....and will lose the important cheek weld to the stock at the same time. So...I am interested in purchasing a very good quality AR with a rear picatiny rail to mount some optics. I would (of course) still incorporate flip up iron sights if the optics or batteries fail. I was told that Rock River Arms makes a very nice rifle. I would love to hear some feedback from anyone who is interested in sharing. Thank you.
