Actually I just picked mine up this weekend. I've heard numerous complaints online about orders taking longer than customers were told. I was told that my wait would be about six months. It arrived in about 5 1/2 months, so I was given an honest estimate!
Instead of buying a scope I picked up another AR (Panther Bull 24 in .223) since I was able to buy it for a pre-election price. I'm thinking about selling my first AR (Panther Lite 16) so I can afford a better scope. Any thoughts on why I should keep it or sell it?? I'm assuming the other two will be better shooters, but I've read that some people have sold their long bull barrels to get lighter rifles for coyote hunting, etc. I don't want to sell it and regret my decision, but the thought of being able to afford better scopes is enticing. Regardless, I hope to buy a scope after my next paycheck and do some shooting to welcome in the new year. The only thing I am not excited about is the skeletonized stock. It looks like it is their regular A2 stock with a trapdoor with part of the sides cut out. Since the regular stock is hollow in that portion (hollowed portion is accessed through the trap door), I doubt that the skeletonized stock is much lighter. I think I'd rather have the regular stock, but on the bright side, if that is my only complaint, I'll be well-pleased with the rifle.
