For the price it’s a great beginner AR-15, you can add red dot, and other accessories

Very happy with my new ruger ar. Easy handling and soft trigger. I put a red dot sight romeo on it and it's very accurate on target. 5 star

I bought mine in 2021 as my first AR style rifle and wanted to finally leave a review. I am still very happy with it today. The accuracy is amazing..even with the factory iron sights, seems to make anyone look like a great shooter. Only had one problem with the taper pins that hold the gas block/front sight in place which kept backing out...I went to the hardware store and got some rolled pins to replace the factory ones, never had a problem with it again. It's shot and cycled everything perfectly. I often think of buying another Ruger 556 as a backup. I would encourage anyone to purchase one for themselves.

Great budget friendly gun for new gun owners and a great AR to start with. Process in purchasing through Buds was great as they provided constant updates on my order. Great experience as I used them for the first time.

This gun is a great gun! It's one of my most enjoyable guns to shoot. I think the downside to this firearm is the negative review that people give it. I have talk with people that give it negative reviews and never shot one. I love my AR-15 and recommend that gun loving people own one or two.

my Ruger AR-566 is a beautiful weapon I love the way it handles, I put 100 Rd’s through it and didn’t have any problems at all. I order all guns through Buds service was fantastic!
