How tall are you?

Actually, nevermind that...as long as you aren't tiny, the 171 should have been fine.

yea unless you are very short, your shop guy was stupid. they are center mount so 171 is good, but if youre like 5'7"+ go for the 178

Dude, if you are 5'10", go back and get the 178s! 161s are like snowblades for you.

haha, you are 5'10" and the guy suggested you get 161s? where the crap are you shopping? Although I must say I went into my local shop to order some 181 ar5s, and they were like "we don't have twin tips that long because no one needs them". wow. like 181 is long. Bleh
