OK here's my dilemma of the day - I have to buy stupid NJ compliant AR's because we have the evil features assault weapons ban - so the NJ compliant version S&W Sport II sells for about $630 out the door around here -
I could pick one of those up as a great entry level AR (I would love to get a Colt LE6920 but the budget is a bit stretched for it, they aren't sold anywhere around here, and you still have to pay extra for gunsmithing "compliance work") and shoot with it for a while until I learn the platform more and eventually add something nicer and maybe give it to my wife -
Or I could get a sweet Beretta 1301 Tactical, add a mag extension so its a 6+1 and have a super reliable and sweet shooting semi-auto 12 gauge - $800 shipped from Arms Unlimited plus $25 transfer, so both firearms would be similarly priced since I would be buying extra magazines for the S&W rifle -
Both would be range/HD toys -
