they are a very fun weapon to shoot and are very good varmit guns if you dont want to pay 1000 plus for one consider buying a kit and putting it together yourself it only takes about an hour model1sales.com has the kits starting at 450 any configuration you want and all you need is the lower receiver from a fll holder that will run around 200 plus so your looking at around 650-700 for an AR15 that someone else would have paid 1200 for and you have the satisfaction of knowing you put it together yourself any questions hit me up

I had a standard military AR15 that was cool but not as much fun as I had hoped because it just wasn't too accurate. I traded it in for a Bushmaster Varminter and that is WORTH IT! It is very accurate and a riot to shoot. I enjoy target shooting with it because of the accuracy. They are extremely accurate out to 600 yards with the 68 & 75 grain bullets. If you want to shoot at 600 yards a lot, get a 1 in 8 or 1 in 7 twist so you can shoot the 80 grain or 90 grain bullets. My most accurate bullet is the 50 grain VMAX and it would be excellent for varmints.

Absolutely not, unless the paranoids attack. It has built-in inaccuracies that are not inherent in bolt-actions and the T/C Encore, which is a better choice anyhow, due to its flexibility. Not only is it more accurate as a rifle, but you have the options of an accurate pistol or an excellent shotgun as well. And what if you go to court for protecting yourself with it? The DA will have a great time depicting you as a paranoid and not believing a word of it himself.
