Author Topic: Wife wants AR! (Read 745 times)

My wife (active Navy) has decided that she needs an AR so she can practice. Who am I to argue! Problem is I don't know much about the rifle. I need one that will approximate the standard issue. But I also want something that is accurate and can be tinkered with. The A3's look interesting. Any suggestions?

I suggest buying a Bushmaster, no matter which receiver design. Good luck, and be glad that your wife wants it!

My wife bought herself an AR-15 last winter. I have a Bushy A3 with 16" barrel which she liked so she bought a Colt in the same configuration. We took a tactical rifle course last spring using the AR's with no problem from either. My Bushy has over 3000 rounds through it and will chamber anything. Her Colt has around 1500 rounds now but doesn't like some handloads unless the case length and sizing are perfect. The stock on her Colt is a little long for her so will be getting a shorter stock soon. She was hitting 12' X 18" steel targets at 600 yards prone with a bipod as was I so accuracy on both is adequate for all practical uses.
