Bought this a couple of weeks ago I guess. Neat rifle, easy to clean and disassemble, looks well built. Waiting for the weather to get a little nicer before I take it out. Has a nice feel to it. I need to find a decent optics set so I can try out those 200m shots

 

(the orange thing is a barrel block that came with it)

 

The Orange thing is called a chamber flag. Nice gun.

Pretty much, unless you like to collect them

Hehe, some ranges require the silly things so might as well hold on to it.

true. I think EFG has that rule

beautiful long gun

Mazel! Great gun!

Only ever seen one person use one there. I've never been questioned either.

Arrives tomorrow.

One of my favorite weapons. I dont have one as I'm a cheap SOB but if I was not one would be in my safe for sure.

Enjoy it

Looks very nice its on my list once the market calms down a lot.

I put a Leatherwood CMR1-4x on mine. 1x works good for close up 2 eyes open shooting. For me, the 4x does the job at longer ranges.

That leatherwood doesn't look bad, hows the clarity?

Actually, it is used to show that the gun is unchambered. Useful at the range.

556s are very nice rifles! I've shot a few, including a 556R, and very accurate. Enjoy it! Hope you can afford to feed it in these times!

I am by no means an optics guru.

The glass is very clear with no distortion that I can see.

Do a search on you tube. There are some decent reviews by people that know a lot more about optics than I do.

I've got about 600 rds so I'm ok for a while

If you reload, be aware that the 556 throws brass around 20-30 feet to the front right of where you are shooting from. Makes brass collection difficult.

Not a reloader... yet. I've considered it, but not a high priority right now.

Was gong to get one.

Got a Stag model 8 instead.

Good luck with it.

 

I came really close to a Stag Model 3, they're nice rifles.

Odd timing, my uncle just asked me to sell his for him and wanted $1000. I said I would take it, I think he thought I was going to offer it to my friends.

Yep, I'd have taken that deal too

Nice gun. I used to have a 556, and that thing was awesome! I put a lot of rounds through it and NEVER had any malfunctions. I sold it only because I got bored with it and wanted to build an AR.
