sport 2 because its not a post windham bushmaster


just one of many many reasons IMO

 

[shybladder]

Can't back the post windam bushmaster because I've never shot one. Guys who I know own em have no complaints. I purchased a sport 2 last December and have had no issues with it so far with 500 rounds or so down the pipe. I added a decent optic, yet to be tested, and put a magpul fore grip on. that's about all I'll do to it Probably didn't need the scope because it's dead accurate through the peep right out of the box

Don't own either one but I have owned both S&W and Bushmaster ARs before, so I can offer you this: I felt that the S&W had better build quality. They both shot fine.

My vote is the Smith M&P II sport I have dealt with both and ever since Cerberous corp taken over Bushmaster they are not the quality they once were. These are the same guys who own Remington now looking at going bankrupt.

They are not gun guys they are bankers.

S&w sport 2! Had mine for years !

Also look at "Colt Le6920" $700-1000 Range totally worth extra cash

I have had my original Sport for years. It has been rock solid. I did put rare earth Mag Pul furniture on it, so it isn't an all black scary rifle now.

Another vote for S&W Sport II

Another option would would be a ruger ar556. Mine has worked flawlessly. Ruger takes the time to make it their own with some unique features. You can usually find them for 500.

+1 on the sport 2

I have seen them on sale for $439 witch is a screaming deal for a great and reliable AR. It will eat anything you feed it.

Coming from a fairly die-hard Bushmaster fan (Windham of course) I would vote for the Sport II. Unless you can find an older Bushy made by the Windham boys.

S&W heavy barrel with BUIS the reasons I would go with S&W. 1 year warranty. In house warranty.

Bush pencil barrel optics only the reasons I would not go with Bush. 1 year warranty. A lot of contracted out of house warranty.

Quality and reliability the same. If you shoot a lot defects should be discovered within 1 year but not all.

Me personally, go with a full life time warranty company like Springer Saint. It's worth the few extra dollars.

Some good points, but the Saint sure was a bust for all of Springfields hype!
