[QUOTE="Kevin Thomas, post: 492509, member: 15748"] Don't know if I can add too much that hasn't already been covered here, but Dan's correct in what he had to say about the ARs we use in competition. They're pretty specialized tools, and vary quite a bit from the standard AR. Kinda like stock cars, they may look similar in profile or external features, but there's an entirely different animal under the hood. If I may clarify something here, when he speaks of "problems" with the RRA NMs, he's talking more about minor tweaks that competitive shooters may want to have done on their rifles, not the trigger breaking down or anything like that. For someone just wanting a good AR, but not contemplating actual competition, the RRA should last a lifetime of field use. For competitive uses of Master or High Master class, they'll certainly want something a bit more refined, and that's where WOA (John Holliger) comes in. I'd expand that a bit to include Frank White at Compass Lake Engineering and Derrick Martin at Accuracy Speaks. These three are hands down the top builders for competitive HP shooters, and all build first-rate rifles. The "basic Service Rifle" package from all three run basically what John offers as a standard, and will get any new shooter up and running in fine style. With very few additions (Gieselle trigger, one of the better rear sights perhaps), all will serve the High Master well, and are perfectly capable of taking you to a Distinguished Rifleman's badge, a President's Hundred tab or even the National Championship title.
