This is my second Windham rifle 5.56&.223 and 7.62x39 and I could not be happier. This particular rifle 5.56/.223 I had out to the range once and it performed flawlessly. I ran both 5.56 and .223 through the rifle with no issues. The irons were pretty spot on 100 yards out with zero adjustments. The heavy barrel makes a huge difference in the performance and compensation for recoil. The rifle was fairly easy to break down and clean. Sportsmans customer service is outstanding as always. This is my 5th purchase through them. Shipping during these times is tough, but they seem to be improving on getting their products out the door.
I purchased this rifle several years ago. It was my 1st AR. I originally paid much more for it. When Sportsman's Outdoor Superstore had the sale with free shipping, I had to get another! Great quality rifle and fast shipping. I will do business again with Sportsman's Outdoor Superstore.
I'm an AK guy and always have been although, I've shot many AR's. I knew one day I'd have to acquire an AR and I have been putting it off. When the guys on the files posted that the WW HBC was on sale, I couldn't pass it up. I received the rifle about a week after ordering, so not too bad this time of year.
The rifle is flawless inside and out and the best part is that it shoots like a dream. The extra 8 ounces on the barrel make the already soft AR recoil even less. The reviews are all true and the Windham story is heart warming.
I'd bought the HBC after seeing some reviews of it - I liked the idea of the heavy barrel, iron sights, lifetime warranty, and the story behind Windham. I took to the range and used a military 25m qualification target to check sights...1 CCW click on the rear and I was hitting dead center I find that extraordinary because I wear full lens magnifier safety glasses when shooting...my vision is not the best anymore. Highly recommend this rifle.
This is my second AR purchase after the S&W AR in the last couple of years. After researching and watching online reviews, I wanted an AR which reminded me of the M4 carbine, built to last, and was ready to shoot out of the box. The HBC didn't disappoint - I used a 25m military target to sight it in. And, my first 3 rounds were incredibly close to dead center iron sights - one click of the back sight and I was hitting the black silhouette. Never had a rifle been so dang close out of the box. The recoil is negligible and keeping the rifle on target is quite easy. I don't think the HBC would let you down regardless of the environment.
I researched them for 5 years before I made the purchase. I really like this firearm. It was on paper out of the box at 100 yards. I would recommend this product to any one looking for a quality AR.
I took the rifle to the range today to sight it in. I was very surprised. It was as the manual said; close - 1 click low and right was all it took. I put about 150 rounds through it - a fun gun to shoot. It feels good, and I can hear a difference between the bolt chambering a round, versus the old M&P15 I had. It's a good rifle. I'd put it up against one double the cost.
Great weapon, about 300 rounds down range and no issues. Took about 9 rounds to zero. Very happy with the rifle.
8 days to ship. Must be pretty busy at the warehouse. Great products, good prices. I'll be back again.
