Bushmaster O.R.C. or standard version. It will be the last one you'll ever need to buy.

I would go with the colt lt6920. It will hold its value over the others. In 100 years from now it will still be a COLT!!!! I have a colt and two de-tons. If you want cheap go to del-ton.com and buy a complete kit for 630.00. Their is a 3 montyh back order so you cant be ina hurry! I have been waiting on three for a couplt weeks now.

I've done a lot of research on that topic recently as I'm looking to buy one myself. I've talked to gunsmiths, owners, and read everything I could get my hands on. My choice will be a Bushmaster. There are a number of models depending on what you want. Go to their website at www.bushmaster.com and see what you think for yourself.

Personally - If I had an extra grand I would buy 4 or 5 SKS's. You can get one for around 200 to 250. I already have two. Great short range gun, cheap ammo. 30 and 40 round clips available.

For long range I went with the 270 WSM. Great, accurate long range gun out to at least 1000 yards - that's further than I can see for sure.

Ar's are great guns, but I think the above is the best of both worlds.

For a grand? Arsenal AK... They make the highest quality stamped AK's you can buy. They are built off of Bulgarian kits and the attention to detail is what you would expect on a quality AR rifle. They tend to be very accurate for a 7.62x39 AK.


That's just my opion based upon my preference of an AK over an AR. I own both a Bushmaster AR and an Arsenal AK, and there are good arguments for either one..

I second the Bushmaster Optics ready. I picked mine up at Academy this past November, and it is by far my favorite gun I own.

On the other hand an SKS might be a better choice down the road if another "Assault Weapons Ban" comes around. Without a standard pistol grip and the relatively low capacity of the standard fixed magazine, they are much less likely to be banned because they don't fit the mold of a typical "Assault Weapon"

The sky is the limit for either one if you want to "Customize" it later as well.

As for the SKS not being a very accurate rifle, just make sure that you get one that was machined and not stamped, and don't expect very good accuracy out of most of the military surplus ammo you can get for it.
