I’m in a dilemma…

[cknight8]

So earlier this spring I wanted a different type deer rifle. So I did some reading and studying and ended up building an Aero Precision 350 legend AR upper. Topped it with a Vortex Viper  2.5-10x44 scope and ordered 500 rounds of Hornady American Whitetail 170gr factory ammo. It’s a great shooting rifle, very accurate. I just don’t know that it scratched the itch like I thought that it would. I’ve coyote hunted for several years with several different ARs of all sorts of configurations and I’m super comfortable and confident on that platform so idk what it is about this one.  I’m sure the rifle and round is fully capable as it’s been 100% reliable contrary to what I found in my research of parts, I bought the parts with the best reviews for reliability (Aero XL upper, Aero barrel has larger polished feed ramps, Wilson combat modified 300 blackout magazines, etc). 

Has anyone else ever headed in a direction with a gun then thought, why did I go down this road??? LOL

Oh yeah. 
 

There’s nothing wrong with saying that a gun just doesn’t do it for you like you thought it would. Don’t get caught in a sunk cost fallacy and spend more money trying to make it be something it never will be. It’s better to cut your losses sell what you don’t need to recoup what you can and go in a different direction.

Haven't built anything, but over the years have bought some stuff that I thought I had to have.

Excited to research, save, find and buy.

Once it was owned, not so much
