    Was looking at the AR-556 MPR Ruger has out now, but it was a compromise to still purchase a camp chef too. I'll just customize this one if I feel the need.

    The gun won out for now. Ruger AR-556. Now looking at getting a camp chef grill. These things are the only reason working side jobs is worth it.
