1. wally-world had 7 AR variants on the shelf today.

I took a look at two of the 22 versions. I'm thinking about getting one for the kids...

My AR's are meant for plinking and family fun. I'm building one to hunt with now, I can't wait to get it in the field with the kids this fall hopefully I can get both of them on a deer or two.

My wife want's to upgrade the scope on her AR to something nicer like what I have on the match 22 she shoots.
