I am new to this forum. I am also new to varmit hunting. I am wanting to purchase a AR-15 for this purpose as well as getting both my boys 12 & 9 years old into the father son thang. I've tried to do some research and yet porbably more confused on which AR to buy. { info over load}
I am thinking Bushmaster 16 to 18" barrel. Do't want to break the back on gun / scope. Any info would be much appreciated. Thanks |
| It would be cheaper to buy a complete lower and upper seperate and slap them together, that way you don't have to pay the extra 11% that complete rifles have. Are you planning on just running optics or do you want to have the option to do both? Right now the best deal going on a complete lower is from DSA- $200+shipping and transfer fee charged by your local dealer(around $20-$30), they also have a 16" midlength upper for $300, then you could add a BCM bolt carrier group for $139.95 and a BCM charging handle for $22.95+shipping. With shipping and the transfer fee you should be at $750 or a little less, but expect to wait 2 or 3 weeks for the stuff from DSA. Another choice would be a CMMG bargin bin rifle if they still have them. Or you could get the DSA lower for $200 and a complete 16" midlength upper from del ton for 440, so you'd have $640 + about $40 shipping + say $30 for transfer fee= $710. Any of these choices would get you a decent rifle for casual shooting. Bushmaster also is a good choice, along with Stag. There is a Bushmaster 20" A2 model for sale on the EE for like $725 shipped , but that doesn't have a flat top upper, which I think you'd be happier with if you plan on running a scope.You'd also need to figure in a scope and maybe a rear iron if you choose. |
