I have been trying to decide which new rifle to buy next. Right now I have a Core 15 AR; it has a keymod handguard, BCM Gunfighter Mod 0 pistol grip, SOPMOD Bravo stock, Aimpoint PRO and an Inforce WML. While I really like the gun I am itching to take a step up to a little more refined rifle.
The candidates right now are the Bren 805 and the BCM RECCE 14.5 KMA. Obviously this is an apples to oranges comparison, and ultimately I may get both. The rifle will be used for plinking but also will likely become my primary HD/zombie gun.
The BCM has a 14.5" barrel with a pinned-and-welded comp to bring it up to legal length. Obviously BCM is one of the best out there for build quality, and it's pretty light and handy.
However, while I like the AR there are things about it that don't float my boat. I don't care much for the rear charging handle; the manual of arms of the Bren 805 are closer to the guns I've shot the most (eg CZ Scorpion, HK UMP/USC, HK94). I prefer the safety and mag release of the Bren as well.
If you, the THR reader, was given a choice between these two rifles which would you choose? And why?
