People have this romantic notion of getting a 6920, a case of ammo, and thats it. How many stick to that? Get what you want up front and skip the starter rifle.
I you WANT a 6920 get that, nothing wrong with that gun. If you want more features you’ll either be unhappy with the 6920 or you’ll spend a bunch of money upgrading it. If you can afford a KAC SR-15 and you can afford it get that. If you can afford a well appointed BCM and it has the features you want get that.
I agree with the above! I like Colt but don't own one. My shooters are BCM's and my rifles set up for longer ranges are Noveske and Larue. Nothing wrong with a 6920 if that's what you want, but I would caution you about buying a rifle you're not sure about. You can end up with more than twice the purchase cost in mods. On the other end of the spectrum if you're not sure just buy a quality lower, then you're covered for any possible legislation and can take your time about what you want.
