I am putting together an ar-15 and would like to buy a complete upper in .223. I am going to spend $600 at the top end for the upper. I like the Rock River Predator Persuit. Any others I should be looking at? This is for a calling rifle for coyotes.
 
For $600.00 you should be able to get an upper just the way you want if rockriver is the one buy it if not have someone build it or build it yourself.
 
There are some Colt uppers and lowers that are not interchangable because of larger takedown pins. Every thing else you can mix and match.
 
Are you going to be carring this all over the place? If so lighter is better, a long barrel, bull barrel gets heavy after a while. A light 16" barrel will do the job very well, if you call them in to you. If your just going to be sitting, then a longer barrel will give you a little more reach. blue

Does anyone know if you can put a DPMS or Rock River upper on a bushmaster lower.????




Yes you can. Only lower that won't accept a newer upper (it will with special takedown pins) is an early Colt lower.
 
I have RRA and OLYmpic Arms. I like them both, but for my dollar for dollar I was ablr to special order the OLY cheaper than the RRA. Both perform great. Just do your research and buy what you want on the first order. It WILL be cheaper that way.

That's what I went with, a D-Tech 20" fluted SUM and it's a great setup for a predator rig. You're going to be very happy for what you get for the price. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grinning-smiley-003.gif

Everyone will be happy except my wife /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif
 
I was thinking of doing the same thing with a different upper for my carbine. But I couldn't resist the RRA coyote /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grinning-smiley-003.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grinning-smiley-003.gif So now I have two complete black guns /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grinning-smiley-006.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grinning-smiley-006.gif
My wife needed a little convincing /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/angry-smiley-055.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/angry-smiley-055.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/angry-smiley-055.gif

So it ended up costing me a little more /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smiliesmack.gif
seems to shoot real good out of the box /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ooo.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ooo.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ooo.gif
