Most important to me:
(1) Reliability
(2) Customer Service (even if they don’t have a written warranty, I want to know that they back up their products)
(3) Easily Serviceable
(4) Availability of Parts (replacement barrels, not too crazy on proprietary parts, etc)
(5) Accuracy
Budget: $1500*** (but I’d like to stay under)
***Note on Budget: I have a 35% off one-time-use promo code at a retailer (Example: Colt Trooper Regular Cost: $1000, with one-time promo code: $650). However, they have a limited selection of models available. From highest to lowest cost they are:
-H&K MR556 A1 (over budget)
-FN 15 Competition
-POF Gen 4 P415
-CZ 805 Bren S1
-Sig MCX Vitrus Patrol
-POF Renegade+
-FN 15 Collector M4
-Barrett REC7 DI Gen II
-LWRCI DI
-Colt LE6920-R Trooper
-Colt LE6920
The retailer also carries other rifles including those from Black Rain Ordnance, Adams Arms, Spike’s Tactical, Bushmaster (ACR), Armalite, DPMS, Sig (M400), Smith & Wesson, Steyr (AUG), and IWI (Tavor X95), Ruger. However, from my limited amount of research, it looks like these are not as highly regarded as those in the list above.
I am also strongly considering the LMT DI CQB Upper on sale at Brownells.
If I can spend below my budget and not sacrifice too much, I’d prefer to do that. For example, would it be a noticeable, big jump going from a Colt LE6920 to a LWRCI DI?
I can look at others in the $1500 price range if it would be worth it, these are just the ones I can get a discount on. Thanks!
