Was buying Rock River a wise move?

Yeah, they're generally good ARs.  The one your friend is tellin' you about sounds like it may have "issues".

In my experience, I have had no issues with any RRA parts or accuracy issues with their barrels.
I don't know your friend from Adam, but I'm going to say he may be feeding you line of crap.

if i'm not mistaken, alot of depts use RRA AR-15s...

that being said, what is your sniper buddy doing in the sandbox with a RRA as a sniper? or is that what he messes with when he is home?

and if they pull to the left and all, all you have to do is adjust your sight for it.

"Pull to the left?"  I have no idea what that's supposed to mean.  My own Rock River rifles (one in 5.56mm and the other in 9mm) are very accurate.  Of course ANY brand new rifle is going to have some roughness, stiffness and other break-in related issues, but Colt and FN-built M16s do that too.  After you get the trigger smoothed out and the action broken in (run a few hundred rounds through it), there will be nothing to complain about.

Hey thanks guys
I feel a lot better now. My problem might be break-in issues I have had less than a 100 rounds through it. From reading all the replies I think the problem is ME!!!!not the rifle. Once again thanks...

Brother it sounds like you need to buy some ammo and practice some basics.
Try zeroing your rifle and make any left or right "pulling" corrections. Once your rifle is correctly zeroed, you'll enjoy a lifetime of shooting you RRA. My RRA is a 16" HB tack driver.

Rock River is a fine manufacturer you made a good choice.

Tell your friend to adjust the rear sight or scope reticles to compensate for the "pulling", whatever that is.  Has this guy really been through sniper training?  I think not or this would be second nature to correct.

My RRA is an absolute tack driver with 55 gr ammo.

I got my RRA NM A2 several years ago because a buddy of mine had one and recommended it to me.  I figured it was good advice since he shoots 1000 yd matches with it and at the time was a member of the all Navy shooting team, nationally ranked in the top 5.  I think they are great rifles, never had any problems with it, and have received many comments on how well it shoots.  That's all I have to say about that.

I have a RRA as well.  Mounted a sight and a cheap reflex.  Had no problems zeroing it out.  Even with the el'cheapo reflex its consistantly yeilds good groups.  If your friend is having problems I'd say user error with the optic or a damaged optic.  Just my opinion though, I'm no expert.
