*guns

Is there a reason I shouldn't buy either of these? Are there better alternatives at the same price points?

~$210 with FFL transfer or an in-person purchase with tax for the Maverick 88

~$500 for the same thing with the ruger

Not bad, you can do a little better on the Ruger but it's best in class for an entry level AR along with the M&P Sport 2. Does it come with standard furniture or the Magpul?

Can't really do much better than the $500 for the ruger. I've seen a bunch of sales for $399 full AR-15s lately (some with really nice furniture), but the $500 ruger should be fine

Not at that price point. You can probably DIY for less but obviously the lack of warranty and customer support plus having to learn what parts fit with what are not worth it.

This JFC. All my guns are mid to high tier (of the regular consumer market) because they will last a lifetime and you don’t want to skimp on something you may use to defend your life.

I understand buying entry level guns if it's for a specific purpose, but if not, save and buy quality.

Have a buddy who owns the Ruger, will ask him if he has thoughts on it.

Ruger is fine but I’m pretty sure there is a sale somewhere right now for $50 off.

Spend a little more and get the Mossberg 500 field/security combo.
