I'm partial to Bravo Company USA, but the Spikes rifles seem to be very good quality as well.

If you like Bushmaster buy it! Forget about what anyone else says. It's your money, buy what you feel you like. I don't have a BCM or a Spikes Tactical upper. I prefer old Colt M16A1 and A2 uppers (have a few). I have a FN M16A2 upper mounted on a Spikes lower. I have Colt and FN BCGs, not one BCM or Spikes BCG.
Don't get me wrong, Spikes Tactical and BCM are good guns, but then so is Bushmaster, RRA, Stag and Doublestar. |

In your price range I would go with Colt, BCM, or Spikes (in that order). No need for a piston in my opinion but to each their own.

They do have standard mil-spec uppers and lowers. |

Here it comes, the BCM bandwagon rolling in, I can here it!
I would buy the BM if that's what you want, who cares what other people say. BM is reliable, & priced right IMO. |

If your budget is $1100, I would go with Spikes or BCM.

Nothing really wrong with Bushy but you can have a better gun that meets your criteria in the Spike's or BCM.

For the prices they are selling at right now, it is hard to beat the Colt 6920 or 6940. The 6920 is definitely in your price range, while the 6940 is close.

I own two Bushies and a BCM. I've never had a problem with my Bushies and I like them just fine. But they are not as nice as BCM. Sorry guys they're just not.
OP: it's up to you if you want to spend a little more on a nicer rifle. The Bushy is fine. The BCM is top quality. It's like comparing a Chevy Malibu to a Cadillac. |

If you're planning on the Adams Arms system later, why not build a rilfe with it from the get-go? Or buy a complete piston AR.

Bushmasters have good barrels. They also have name recognition when it comes time to resell it.
You could do a lot worse than Bushmaster. |
