[QUOTE="henschman, post: 2641433, member: 4235"] Bear Creek? Ugh. Those are right at the bottom of the barrel quality-wise. I was new to this stuff once too, and I understand the impulse to buy the one with the lowest price tag you can find, but give some thought to what kind of quality you are getting for the money. Another thing to keep in mind is that most of the ladies I know like light weight rifles. The M&P Sport has a pretty heavy profile barrel that makes it a bit front heavy. Here is what I would get if I was wanting a rifle for a lady (or hell, for myself even) and didn't want to build: [url]http://palmettostatearmory.com/index.php/colt-ar-15-5-56nato-16-carbine-pencil-barrel.html[/url] yeah it costs 2 or 3 hundred more than one of the bottom of the barrel ones, but it is a top quality, highly dependable rifle from one of the top names in ARs, and should give you many thousands of rounds of trouble free use. It would be suitable for serious use as well as casual. I guarantee you will never regret spending the extra couple hundred for a quality firearm. That is actually a screaming-ass deal on a Colt... The kind of deal people will be kicking themselves in the nuts for passing up here in 2 or 3 years. [/QUOTE]
