.223 is a lot cheaper to shoot and can be accurate to over 300 yards easy. I'd probably go with that if you don't need something with long range.

Yep, .223 for sure. They are accurate WAY past 300 yards if you get a decent one. Hell, I was shooting 6" groups on iron sights at 300 yards in the military.

With the ar should I go .223 or .308? I dont plan on hunting with it just some target shooting and for dooms day.

.223, but you can also consider 9mm if you want to get away from the standard AR platform. I've been looking at carbines as well, and the upside to 9mm is even less of a cost.

I think you want the AR chambered for 556 if I recall (think that's right) as you can shoot 223 ammo, and it's better for the gun if it's basis is a 556. Someone correct me if I'm wrong. Either way, you can also convert an AR to a .22 platform for practice with the weapon and even further savings on ammo.

If any of you guys aren't members of the NRA, now is the time. I think it's something like $35 for a year.

But donating to the NRA-ILA is where it really counts. They're the division that actually engages the legislative process. Even if it's only $5, if you want to keep your rights and keep your guns, do it.

This is a rather heavy video for Style but it's relavent and bears a lot of truth. Some of you may recognize Travis Haley. He is a reserve LEO and former Force Recon Marine.

I joined a month ago for the first time. Even if they aren't perfect they are the best we have and use the money to pressure all the idiots in washington.

So I totally agree with you. Join up guys :)

Yep, pretty much the reason I chose it. I love the look of the wood laminate stocks over synthetic, plus the thumbhole stock, and the adjustable cheek riser and butt plate made it an easy decision. I know you can get these aftermarket, it was just nice that it came this way from CZ.

I think you want the AR chambered for 556 if I recall (think that's right) as you can shoot 223 ammo, and it's better for the gun if it's basis is a 556. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

Correct. If it's chambered for 5.56 NATO then you can also shoot .223, but not really recommended the other way around.
