Odin Works 21″ 6mm ARC Complete Upper: Reviewed

When 6 ARC was announced by Hornady, I was among the many that were extremely excited and chomping at the bit to test it out for myself. My options for getting an AR15 in 6 ARC were to build one for myself with scavenged components, to buy a complete rifle, or to get a completed upper.

The ZION 15 truly is an upper mid-tier rifle for folks looking to get into something a little more capable than your standard entry-level AR-15 like the M&P15 or the Ruger 556, both of which I’ve owned. If you’re on the fence, this is a fantastic rifle for the price and I’m hopeful retailers will continue to be able to offer it at that sub-$1000 price-point.

I set out to build the Ultimate 3 Gun Rifle, and I did. But I also accidentally built a rifle capable of PRS competition and hitting targets past 1000 yards.

Ditch the Same Ol’ AR-15 with a BRN-180 (Lower Full Review)

The complete BRN-180 ain’t cheap ($130-150 for the lower + $900 for the upper + parts), but it’s a great option if you’re in an AR-15 rut. The side charging handle and folding stock are eye-catchers at the range, and the rifle is reliable and accurate. While your buddies are building another AR-15 for their ever-expanding collection, branch out to something a little different and check out the BRN-180 from Brownells.

The benefits to an 18 make it something you should reconsider. For that little bit more length and weight, you get a softer shooter, as well as a minor bullet velocity gain. It is absolutely worth trying out.
