Interested in an AR-15

[PVT Wendt]

Right now, I'm thinking of buying a weapon i have the pieces mainly picked out just wanted some input on some of the parts i'm getting. I'll list them on here

Rifle: Stag Arms Stag-15 2T with quad rail
RIS: ARMS #50CV SIR
Grip: Magpul MOE Grip
Optics: EOtech 557 with a EOtech G23 right behind it on a pivotal mount
Foregrip: a tangodown of somesort not to sure yet.

Feel free with input, this will be my first AR-15 and would like something that does good at planking and some hunting. Thanks all.

IMHO ARs are not a good hunting rifle. You'd be better off with a Remington 700 or a Savage in .308 for taking game. to take down something serious with an AR, you better be a damn good shot and know where the vital organs are on the game you hunt.

Stag makes a decent rifle which will be just fine for "plinking".

Right now you have more money listed in Barbie add-ons than the rifle itself. If you are just looking for a goof-off gun, you can get similar functionality for a lot less money by looking around.

I would suggest buying a Bushmaster or Rock River complete AR. You can spend around a grand or less, find out if you like the setup and either modify your existent rifle (if you like it) or sell and be no worse for wear. In the state I live .223 is illegal for big game, for good reason.

Where you are in life, why bother with anything that isn't a collectable?
If you get through MEPS to where you want to go, your Uncle will loan you some cool bang-bang sticks with all the latest toys, buy you the ammo & send you hunting in exotic locales with it.
Save your bucks & plink with a 10-22 or something.

As i said i was going to use it for hunting, i wasn't referring to big game. I was more or less referring to a varmint hunter, like out here in KS we have way to many prairie dogs, Maybe sometime down the road i'll go to texas and try hunting some wild boar with it. then i mean other then that its a planking gun. I was going to use that rail so i could elevate the scope over the flip-up sights without having to flip them down, so if the battery ever died on me i could simply just resort to the flip ups. but i may go without the RIS for now, and get just the rifle, the EOtech 557, and the front flip up sight, to see how i like it. And from there think of if i need the RIS. Thank you all for the help.

Attention to detail will aid you greatly in your quest young man. And that can start right here, right now.

I will try my best Ranger Cams. I can't promise to much in proper sentence structuring, it has always been my downfall. As with breaking up paragraphs. But, i will try my best to use proper grammar while I'm here.
Thank you, for heads up on that one again, Ranger Cams. I will be more careful next time.

Much better young man. No one's asking for perfection in sentence structure and such, just pay attention to small details, i.e. CAPS when needed, making sure you're addressing Rangers properly, etc.

Trust me when I say, these small details are not nit-picking you, but covering every small detail in your upcoming entrance into the Service WILL absolutely save you headaches and problems on your field exercises as well as garrison life as a young soldier.

Kansas huh. Your accent is coming through the interweb. "Plinking" not "planking" attention to detail, Ranger X gave you a subtle hint. I'm not being so subtle. The Stag 2T will work just fine for what you want to do with it.
