The gun shop owner has no clue what he is talking about.
There are a lot of Windham haters out there due to the loose association with Bushwhacker. I don’t own one but I have shot a friends Windham and it ran great and was accurate. I have another buddy with a Rock River Varmint. That thing is a freaking tack driver. The main question is: are you happy with your rifle? Does it meet your needs and live up to your expectations? If so, enjoy the hell out of it and don’t worry about what other people think. Especially some know it all mall ninja gun counter salesman. They have their agenda so unless you know and trust this individual, take his advice with a grain of salt and do your due diligence before you make your purchase.
I do not know of the gun shop owner knows shit or not, sounds at the least he was trying to make a sale. Look for a shop that might have some DD, BCM, Colt, etc.
Don't be an idiot Vicious. OP, run whatever reliable rifle you can at your price point. Yes both weapons are not Noveske, LaRue, DD.... And that is alright. Get to know the rifle. What you don't do is bitch and moan about it. If its what you can afford and suits you then run it.
Rule #1, don't take gun advice from gun shop owners. Vast majority either have no idea what they are talking about and or, have $$ in mind for their "advice." A scant few are switched on and or honest (such as the owner of this forum and a few others) but they are rare. If the gun fills your needs, drive on, but you'll not find either well regarded here or by those who really know the AR as a rule.
The RRA is not twice the WW.
Neither one is my idea of "worth it". If they run for you, shoot the hell out of them and don't look back. Look around at proper AR assembly and make sure your rifles are assembled well. RRA and WW both skimp in some areas.
I'll take a C7 over anything Cadillac could produce :D
So telling the truth is being an idiot. OK lets play this out, the cheapest RRA operator Ive seen is $988.19 on impact guns. Guess what, grant is selling a complete Colt 6920 for $850. Amazing right? You want a pat on the back because you made a poor purchase, go somewhere else.

Coobie, I believe you said that you own BOTH of these rifles right? So you dropped coin on TWO second tier rifles but then talk about affordability? Am I missing something? You really should have just spent all that money on one top tier rifle. And I agree with the others, don't ever listen to gun shop owners. Take whatever they say with a huge grain of salt.
As usual, getting purchasing advice prior to purchasing tends to get best results. For general plinking etc, there's less expensive choices recommended (I recall Grant being a fan of some of the S&W offerings for low cost pilnkers for example) and for HD/duty, etc. there's better choices for same or less $$$ (Colt, DD, BCM, etc), but as others have said, shoot 'em, enjoy 'em, and drive on.
S&W MP Sport
$550 at Grants.
I got lucky and picked one up a month ago for $600 from my LGS.
Hey,I am ok with the truth that is why I posted here,got my big boy panties on ;).Not looking for folks to sugar coat anything.I am a retired electric lineman(37 years) who worked with some pretty salty guys in the field so you would have a hard time hurting my little feelers :) Thanks for the honest post.
There is more gun for less money out there, garunteed. Sell both and buy something that doesn't suck.
All of this has been discussed before. Use the search feature and read about RRA or Windham and validate your own purchase.
