AR-15 $2G budget

[nacohunter]

Don't know about all the others, but Larue rifles don't leave Leander unless they can shoot 1" groups. Most all of the others are mil-spec, or 4".

If you want something a little different and Texas made check out F1 Firearms.

Really. What kind of groups you getting at 100 yards?

3-4 inches the one time I shot one at the range. But I don't have 30 round magazines and holographic sights to poke holes in paper, I use them for maximum pig killin as uncle Ted would say. I also enjoy plinking around the ranch at varmints and dumping mags as a stress reliever.

I guess my point is that even if PSA,DMPS or M&P's really were somehow inferior, would 1-3 inch variance at 100 yards really make a difference in this type of weapon?

I'd buy a fairly cheap lower and get a good trigger to put in it. Then I'd put a LWRC or YHM upper on it. That's what my brother did with his 6.8 and it's a heck of a shooter. Shooting the brass on an empty shotgun shell at 100 yards is easy with that setup.

They aren't inferior, they're mil-spec. They're not precision 500 year rifles.

In summary, i agree with you.

I agree with mesquitecountry. I built two AR's this year and spent right at $1100 before optics. Got all the parts (except the stripped lowers) from PSA. I've only shot one of them so far, but it shoots great out to 100 yards. I went this route because; A) I wanted an AR but didn't want to spend a lot for as little as I get to shoot, and B) I like to build stuff.

And PSA has some great daily specials that roll around. I've been jumping on the bulk ammo with the PMAGS as well. Those are some decent deals.

If you shop carefully and don't mind buying used you can find your larue or noveske for under 2k in classifieds on Ar15.com or snipershide. Personally I've always bought an assembled upper and put together my own lower pretty simple to do. Best of luck in your search. If I had your kind of budget I'm sure I would be looking further at the upper tier of rifles.

[ranchdog]

You can get an LWRC piston ride for that budget. Its a sweet rifle.....

[Texas8point]

you just need reliable. If Trump wins, you may need it Tuesday night !

Just stumbled upon this website

Imo. Build your own.

That is what I tend to do.
