·I'm looking into picking up my first AR with the tax return check. I don't plan on doing any serious shooting at the moment, but would like to improve my iron sight shooting at longer ranges (at NM distances, for example). I've got a few picked out at the local gun store: A used Colt Sporter 16" barrel (may have been Sportsman), a used Bushmaster 20" barrel (didn't get the model), and a new Bushmaster Predator, all seem to be at decent prices. My problem is coming in that I can't leave well enough alone and will probably modify any one of them.
I have heard that the Colt lowers will not accept aftermarket triggers, and I might like to upgrade later to the Timney drop-in setup. Can anyone confirm or deny this lack of upgradability?
How is the quality on the bottom end Bushmasters? As much as I'd like to spend $1200-$1500 on the Predator with a good scope, I don't think I will be able to justify spending that much on a rifle I won't shoot that often.
Thanks for any help.
