As I have mentioned, I'm moving to Tennessee shortly. The house is purchased and closed, notice has been given at work, packing has commenced. We roll out of MA on September 20th or 21st, arriving in Jefferson City a few days later. Bud's Gun Shop is 22 minutes from my house. I'll be buying more than one rifle from them VERY shortly after we arrive. All I need to pick up is a Tennessee Driver's License, which will be my first order of business after parking the truck.
I have a couple of AR's (A Windham and an M&P Sport II) and a WASR. I'm NOT adding a caliber, at least not yet. I'm not a smith or builder, have yet to even put a trigger in a gun myself. Tinkering just isn't my thing. I'm going to add another basic WASR just cuz, probably straight stock, not folding. Generics run $6-700 down there. No advice needed there.
Here's the question... WHICH brand of AR should I buy? My Windham is dialed in, shoots 1" groups at 100 yards. Not changing a thing on it. Lady Radtekk's M&P Sport II works well enough for her, she's more of a pistol gal anyway. I want a couple of decent quality, dead nuts reliable AR's I can buy, break in, site in, and put away for "one day". I don't want to spend $1500 on a gun I may shoot a magazine through once a year to "prove zero", or one that's cheap but needs to be maintained every week or parts will mysteriously fall off. So, what's a good, reliable, reasonably accurate (yes, I know the gun is more accurate than the shooter) AR platform gun for decent money? And yes, I'm also familiar with "Buy once, cry once" as a quality philosophy
