So I'm thinking of getting a new bushmaster, which would be my first AR.
Deciding on which model however, is a dizzying proposition. Some questions...
How are the triggers on these models? Does the V match come with any better trigger than a base model? (No mention of this on their site). Is the 20" V match likely to be that much more accurate than a 16" V match? Is the 16" much better handling than the 20"? Would there be any actual advantage to a basic iron sighted version compared to a flat top which would allow easy scope mounting? I'm assuming if you got one of the A3 20" with removable carry handle and wished to put a scope on, with the high front site you'd have to mount the scope unnaturally high? Are the clamp on sights that you can get for slat topped versions pretty rugged?
Thanks for any input...
