Well, I took the plunge and lost my AR15 virginity today.  Wow-

Took a road trip through the rather nasty weather down to Impact Guns in Ogden, where I've been eyeing a 20" A3 on their website.  So I picked it up...  with a few added extras :)

MY FIRST AR15:

Bushmaster  XM15-E2S
20 In. 1/9 Hbar Barrell
3-9x40 Bushnell Mil-Dot Scope (On Louapold Rings / Endcaps)
Versapod  Bi-Pod

I need a Rail Riser for the scope (It's hard to cock with the right hand due to the scope)  but other than that, I'm pretty happy.  I had it bore-sighted today for 600 meters.   Now I just have to sight it in :)

Nice.  Congrats on the first AR1!!!  A few months ago I had zero.  Now, I'm a proud owner of two homebuilds.  They multiply faster than really horny rabbits.

need to get yourself a tactical latch... that will take care of your charging handle issue... and I've never used a versa pod, but it looks like it's on backwards... normally the feet of the bipod are pointing forward when it is in the stowed position...

I'm still considering my hiegh solutions.  As far as the bipod, it's actually on facing the correct direction, the legs just swing both ways.

Nice rig, Chicken.

I love the looks of the 20, and hope to add one to my case sometime. (hopefully this year)

Take a look at the Marines M16-A4 set-up sometime, and see the configurations they use with them.

I think it could provide you some insight as to the most useful configuration for you.

The set-up you have now is very sweet, and congratulations on the new Bushy!

look forward to hearing about your range report on that bad boy!!

That's what I was thinking, but when the feet are down it looks right.

If the feet fold forward they don't get in the way of you gripping the forearm while carrying the rifle or shooting it offhand.  Otherwise you have to slip your hand between the legs of the bipod and the furniture every time you grab the rifle.
