You should pick the Rock River over the Bushmaster based on barrel twist alone. The Bushmaster has a 1 in 9" twist as opposed to the RR 1 in 8". The RR will allow you to shoot the 77 and 80 grain bullets. You may also want to check out John Holliger's products. www.whiteoakprecision.com |
Not to patronize, but my first, and only AR currently is the Bushmaster and you are wrong. Standard barrels on the DCM Competition rifles are 1:8 twist, and 69-77 gr bullets is like candy for these barrels. Have not yet seen much factory match ammo 80gr, but 77gr is nice. Won't get into a brand name argument with anybody on this one b/c I am too new to know if BM beats RRA. Both should be outstanding rifles, and sad to say, if I were to buy one all over, it would be RRA for economy. If you do get RRA, you might try a 3lb lead weight like BM puts in its trapdoors for balance. Muzzle rise is comparable to 22lr off the bench and recoil is unfelt. Good luck |
Sorry but *you* are wrong. Go back and read the original post, he said the Bushmaster *varminter* NOT the Bushmaster DCM rifle. He is wanting a flat top, not the A2. The Bushmaster varminter DOES come with the 1 in 9" twist. Check it out yourself: www.bushmaster.com/shopping/uppers/post-ban/purvmb24fvar9.asp |
Sorry, my mistake. I assumed when he said match upper, he meant the competition gun |
