They both shoot good. I personally would go with Bushmaster.

Have both in your arsenal. Problem solved.

Based on what you said about supporting the local guy.. Buy a Bushmaster. Rip out the trigger group and sell it, or use it for something else. Buy a decent trigger. RRA is very nice on the cheap end of the good triggers. Or spend some dough on a Giessell
I shoot a RRA lower and a White Oak upper that John built on my Bushmaster upper reciever. |

For a competition rifle, either would do. I know a lady at my work that has won some medals at Camp Perry with her RRA.

My CMP NM Bushmaster has its factory 2-stage which has been just fine in over 1,000 rounds - I like it better than the RRA 2-stage, which I have in my carbine (not that it's that big a difference - both work and feel fine).
I've heard of others that have had problems, but mine's been great so far. Go with either, but if you want to support the local guy, buy Bushmaster with confidence. |

As you have read...both are fine. However, for the money......you can't beat the RRA. I've had both and they both shot great, but the trigger in my BM lost it's first stage at about 1,500 rounds. My RRA now had about 2,400 rounds down the pipe and still shoots Master/High Master scores. Take care!

Get the BM, if for no other reason that to show support. Maintain the trigger as best you can, and when it goes TU, replace with a Giessele.

It was done by Tom Sawyger Mfg. before he sold his engraving business to Orion Arms. |

Another vote for support the locals. Heck, if they are dumping that much $$$ into your range they are supporting you. Might as well support them.

As much as I like my RRA, I'd buy the Bushy in your situation. After all, they helped make a nice place for you to shoot.

Either will outshoot what we (humans) are capable of holding. What ever you get, practice with dry fire at least every other day, live ammunition every week at 200 300 and 600 yds

Don't they both use Wilson barrels and subcontract most parts?
I'll bet you couldn't really tell the difference between them. Rock Rivers support and service is 2 thumbs up and hard to beat. |

I have a very good friend who has loads of experience shooting a variety of AR's and M16's. He's an OIF and Camp Perry veteran. Until recently he'd chosen Bushmaster for his personal arms. After trying my RRA Entry Tactical and doing load development with his own RRA A4, he's told me any future black rifle purchases will be Rock River.

To figure your group size....you measure from the center of the two widest shots. Another method is to measure the group at it's widest point and subtract the bullet diameter. So your group is .5205". Good shooting! |

As accurate as my RRA rifles are, I can definitely recommend them. Only I failure to eject in 3000 rds. through three rifles. That was due to a hell of alot of fouling in the chamber and action.

Indeed - I subtract the bullet diameter from the group size myself. |
