the wyndham arms for 2300 will put a fair boot up the cja and the nea.
the real question is, who will be the first to hit 1500 retail?

Yip, I know the cost price for them and Digit isn't making all that much off them. They are $1K in CAD sure, but it costs money to send stuff, then there is gst, customs fees, brokerage fees etc they are priced honestly. Is a bottom of the barrel rifle in the USA worth $2.5-$3K? I don't know. But with US export regulations the way they are we will not see many "high speed"brands here anytime soon on A cat (Colt, BCM, LMT, Spikes, etc unless they make export compliant models. LMT does.) Bushmaster isn't exactly a yard stick of quality, but inital reports suggest the Whindham guns are better. Would be cool if H&K made an A cat MR223 and 762. Would probably be $rape though. Kiwi's don't exactly buy AR's for "serious social purposes", for what we generally use them for, what is available is sufficent. My non-milspec RRA has never skipped a beat the whole time I've had it. Never been cleaned, had it filthy as hell with foreign debris, including inside the reciever and never had an issue. Very happy with it. Honestly haven't shot my NEA all that much. Hammils is meant to be carrying the Whindham guns gimp.
