Entry level - help me spend my Christmas Bonus

[Scott_N]

I know there's been more than a few threads from guys wanting to get into AR type rifles, but please bear with me...

If you had a budget of roughly $1000 and change, would you consider any of these three rifles?

1 - Colt Expanse II

2- Ruger Ar 556

3 - Windham Weaponry


I'm more curious about the Colt and the Ruger as I've done quite a bit of looking, and the Windham Weaponry rifle has been at the top of my list.

If the price was the same for all of them, I'd take door #3 followed by #1.

I own a Windham VEX, it's a nice rifle, never a problem. Looks good, fit and finish are excellent. Take a hard look at the Windham, I don't think you will regret it.

Wish I got a Christmas bonus. Colt. You can customize it any way you want.

Windham is basically Bushmaster (their old factory).

Can't go wrong with good ol' ABC. (Armalite, Bushmaster, Colt)

God I'm old.

$1100 for Colt OEM 1. Much better option than the Expanse IMO.

A set of used furniture will cost less than $100
