Why I didn't get the AR. What do I do now?

In a previous topic I posted that yesterday I was going to get a new AR15. Well that didn't happen and here is why.

Several ARs were just beautiful and I thought that they had my name on them. They were handled many times over by me but then my eyes saw the Ruger #1.

It was the stainless model in 7mm STH or something like that. The stock was "diamondwood" and just beautiful.

Next to the #1 was a for of the synthetic MK77 stainless in 22 Hornet, .223, .270, .25-06, .30-06 & .308. Decisions!

And I saw the Browning A-Bolt along with the SIG SH 970 in stainless with the synthetic stock. All about the same price $500 - $600. I was preplexed.

Last but not least there were several Rem 700s just laying there looking at me. I like those too.

Here is my quandry. I like them all! What I want is a fun gun to shoot at no more than 200 yds and that won't break the bank in doing this.

Also, I need some advice on scopes. What type of scope should I mount on a weapon like this. There were scopes for $50 and there were some for $ 1,500. Any advice as far as combinations of rifle/scope would be appreciated as well as your personal experiences with any of these weapons.

Thanks

The best weapon for self defense is the one you have when the need arises!
 
I went through the same dilema. Wound up getting a Bushmaster flattop. Had a Houge free-float forend installed and a Harris bipod. Topped it with a Tasco World Class Plus 10-40x scope. I get sub moa groups at a 100 yds. and excellent groups at 200.
No need for a spotting scope when the Tasco goes to 40X, which is the power I always use.
It is sharp, crisp, bright and doesn't cost a fortune. They discontinued mfg them, but you can still find them around. With the flattop you have the option of also shooting with the handle on and iron sights or a red dot attached to the handle. No loss of zero. Whole deal cost me about $1200, but you can just buy the rifle and build from there. This is an accurate gun which is extremely fun to shoot. For a nice woodstocked rifle I bought a Tikka Master Sporter in .223. Very accurate and also alot of fun to shoot.
Good luck in your choice. Sincerely, Twoinchgroup52.
 
Before you decide to buy a rifle, you're going to have to decide to decide. I'd suggest a couple of weeks of Paxil and maybe a few focus groups, then go buy a Bushmaster.
