Hey, I am new to the AR world. I have been lurking on the site for a while just never posted. I have a couple questions for everyone.

First, A local gunstore in my area is selling a vulcan AR-15, I am not sure on the model, but its relatively cheap.. and its right in my price range of available money to spend. They also have a couple bushmasters that are on sale. I have always heard good things about bushmaster, while I've never heard anything about vulcan. The Vulcan I am looking at is priced right at 670. (its an A2) the bushmaster A3's are sale priced right around 880. Is the extra 200 worth it to buy a bushmaster? Realistically, I would probably shoot two or three times a month. I know that I'm limited with scope and accessory capabilities with the A2, however, a scope is about the only thing I'd get. Which rifle has the best reputation, and which would last the longest?

I figure I'll get a lot of people telling me to build my own.. I dont have the patience to build my own.. And I'd much rather learn more about them before I venture off and build one. Any and all input is greatly appreciated. Thanks for your time!!!!!

DO NOT BUY THE VULCAN.

do not buy vulcan or hesse. they explode with rich loads.

Get a Bushmaster, or RRA.  Best 2 affordable complete rifles out there.  IMO...
