Finally bought my first rifle

[mav]

Hey everyone. I appreciate everyone's comments on my earlier thread asking for suggestions on a rifle purchase. I narrowed it down to two choices, a FNH Scar or LWRC M6A2 D-Dea. I have always liked the Scar, but the LWRC won out due because I believed that if something broke it would be easier to find a replacement. That may be faulty reasoning, but that was the issue that pushed me to get the LWRC.

I ordered the rifle a couple of weeks ago and picked it up today. It is very nice. I hope I made a good choice on this rifle. Anyway, here are some pics of my new LRC M6a2 d-dea rifle.

I like the flag on the rifle. Just gives it a little something extra. There is one on the top too.

This is the case that came with the rifle. Seems to be very nice.

Once again, I appreciate everyone's help and comments. Now I have to go learn to shoot the thing. Any recommendations on any non-Wolf practice ammo?

Sorry if pics aren't that good. I took them with my phone. It is the only camera I have.

You will like it. Now go take a tactical course and learn how to really run that rifle.

Here's a deal on some ammo.

Fiocchi .223 55gr FMJ BT Ammo - 1000rd Case

And it's brass so be sure to save your empties.

Be sure to spend lot's of time with the iron sights befire moving to optics. Looks like a great weapon.

This is real good advice. I love my iron sights on my ar so much my scope usually stays put away.

Great advice! Good training will instil confidence and skillset's beyond expectation.

I have had real good luck with that ammo. I have run it in my Mini 14 and my AR. Zero problems, and accurate too.

To the OP. Nice first rifle. Can't beat an AR. If you don't like something about it, you just change it.

Well, I went to the range today to shoot my new rifle. I bought 5 boxes of some PMC ammo from the dealer and mosyed on out to the range. I didn't put the target out very far (about 12 yards) so I could get a feel of how it shoots and what the recoil is like. I had no idea what to expect since I have never shot a rifle outside of an old Marlin .22 about 20 plus years ago.

The trigger pulls is heavier than what I am used to, but it didn't have any creep to it. I was surprised at the recoil. It was pretty much nonexsistent. As far as accuracy goes, the rifle is more accurate than I am at this point. I was shooting about 2 - 2.5 inch groups, which is pretty crappy for an ar at 12 yards. As of right now, I am more accurate with my handguns than my rifle. I know that will change the more I shoot it.

One thing I did notice was my support shoulder was getting very tired rather quickly. Sort of made me feel like a pansy considering I am in fairly good shape. I workout with heavy weights 5 days a week. It could be the way I am holding it, how much pressure I am applying, or from just doing something new.

I look foward to shooting it more. It looks like this is going to be a fun gun to shoot.

Don't you just love it? At some point you need a .22 bolt adapter so you can shoot cheap. way too much fun.
