Goddamn price of ammo is the only thing keeping me from picking up an AR style gun. At 8 bucks and up for a clip of .223, I couldn't afford to shoot it enough to warrant the investment. Oh well, I guess I'll have to be content plinking around with .22lr's.

Same here really. Was thinking that the AR57 was a cheaper initial investment at $900, but it sounds like I'd catch up with the $1300-1500 AR15 quick.

I read something a while back that 10-15 years ago the ARs were $600 base model and made shitty. Adjusted in Obama dollars, that's around $1300. They said that they are made so much better now; it is well worth it.

I'm thinking that the prices will only go up??

Same here. I don't care what the gun costs. I care about the cost of shooting it. And I'm not interested in reloading.

ETA: We are lucky that .22LR ammo is so cheap. I would pay 3 times the price and still think it is a bargain.
