Just wanted to say that I am very impressed with my new RRA 16" midlength. Finally got a chance to go do a little bench testing, and I was overwhelmed with the results. Using my handload from one of my bolt actions, I sighted in at 50 yards using a Bushnell Holosight. Having shot long range most of my life, I didn't get myself too excited at the tiny groups at just 50 yards. I was also apprehensive about trying to shoot for accuracy at 100 yds with just a holosight (my first experience with a holosight). When I moved the target out to 100 yards, I could not even see the bull (1" yellow bull on 1" grids), just a blank piece of paper. I then took a 2" x 2" square piece of black tape and put it on the target over the center. Shot 5 rounds and went to check the target. Just blew me away. I managed to shoot just under a 1/2" group!!! Another 3 shot group right at 1/2"....then ran out of daylight.
Very impressed - can't wait to spend a little more time at the bench. |

Did you order from the factory, if so how long of a wait was it.? |

Well, I just purchased my mid length two weeks ago. All I need now is a scope of some sort. I figured this would be the most appropriate place for my first post. I will post some pics once I figure this site out a little bit. So far, I am very impressed with my RRA. I plan on sighting it in next weekend. I was also looking at the bushnell. glad to be here. I am also a proud member of the NRA.
I purchased from local store here in the AZ. Got lucky i guess. EDIT: here is a pic. Anyone know what model this is? All i got on the receipt was "LAR-15 1239x" http://www.tundratalk.net/photopost/data/500/RRA.JPG |

| My Spike's Tactical .22LR conversion kit works fine in my RRA Entry Tactical. I did have some initial issues with the conversion kit hanging on the bolt catch, but I returned the conversion kit to Spike's, and got it back within a week. It has worked fine ever since. |

Finally got to sight in my LAR-15

It worked perfectly. |
