A Refutation
Well, no kidding. The .223 cartridge, son of the .222 and the .222 Magnum, has been a perfect medium to almost long range woodchuck and prairie dog blaster for more than 45 years. So here is an accurate, lightweight, reliable self-loading rifle that is made just for that purpose. Evil Black Assault Weapon? How can you say that? No carry handle, no bayonet mount. What’s your problem?
Here’s a review, courtesy of Miltary.com, of this rifle and several others just like it:
It is no secret to the predator hunter that the AR-15 style of rifle makes for a near ideal predator rifle. Callers have been using this rifle and extolling its merits for quite some time, but it hasn’t been until recently that the “rest” of the world has caught on. Now it seems everyone is realizing, simultaneously, that this family of rifles are great for hunting.
...
his is the only rifle of the group that clearly acknowledges its intended purpose — predator hunting. Of the group, it was my immediate favorite out of the box as it has some great features. Like the other two rifles, it sported a flat-top receiver with no sights. But like the M&P it had a front mounting block so iron sights could be installed. It had a similar grip structure to the Smith and Wesson M&P, which I prefer. The semi-custom pistol grip and skeleton stock made for a great combination, especially when combined with the rubber-coated Hogue free-floating hand guard, which is factory-equipped on the Coyote Rifle. The barrel is a 20-inch matte-blued model with a flash suppressor. But the biggest advantage of the Rock River over the other two models is the oversized trigger guard. ARs traditionally have a relatively small trigger guard opening and that can be a problem when the shooter is wearing heavy winter gloves. The Rock River Coyote Rifle utilizes a uniquely formed lower trigger guard plate that significantly helps open extra room. The factory trigger on this rifle was phenomenal.
...
All of the rifles performed admirably, with a slight accuracy edge going to the Rock River Coyote rifle. In addition to being a good shooter, it also had other features I liked, such as the skeleton stock, rubber-covered hand guard, large trigger guard and soft pistol grip. If I could offer suggestions, I would lose the flash hider and give the whole gun a camo dip, like the Remington. Not only do I like the look, it does offer an advantage for staying hidden and helps non-black-gun folks see what these rifles can do without letting their misconceptions get in the way.
Oh, in and case you might need to hunt predators much larger than woodchucks, perhaps even large game animals with antlers, Rock River makes their own version of the venerable but mostly passed over AR-10. They call theirs the LAR-8, and it comes in stubby, standard, and varmint versions. For those not in the know, this is a larger version of the AR-15 that fires the .308 cartridge, which is a full power deer hunting round.
Like every other company that makes AR-15 style rifles of any kind, Rock River Arms has a months long backlog. But you’ll never get one unless you get in line. Oh, and lot of companies can put a camo finish on your gun. Or your pickup truck’s dashboard!

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:
It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.
- Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
- Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
- Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
- Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere

Oh, and here's some kind of visitor flag counter thingy. Hey, all the cool blogs have one, so I should too. The Visitors Online thingy up at the top doesn't count anything, but it looks neat. It had better, since I paid actual money for it.
