ok so back in july i posted a topic asking about scopes for a .308 rock river lar-8 i had on order. the rifle was order and was to have been in this month. however my dealer called rock river and it is now pushed back until at least january because rock river is waiting on barrels...

 

so now my advice i need is... do i wait? and when it comes in, it comes in? or do i try to get a different brand, sooner??

 

but here is the catch: i do not want a short barrel, i want 20" barrel, i want a flat top, optics ready type rifle, and i want it to have a forward assist and the dust cover (ejection port cover).

 

so it must have:

- 20" barrel

- flat top, optics ready

- forward assist

- ejection port cover

 

thank you, Joey

I'm personally a fan of the Armalite/Noveske patterend rifles. Mainly because this being jersey, they have factory 15 round mags.

 

Check Gunbroker, you should be able to find what you want in stock and ready to ship.

There is almost never a reason to wait. The gun you want is out there on an internet site, and probably for cheaper than your FFL was going to get it.
