I have several family members who are wanting to get AR’s. Some for plinking some for hunting. Budget is $1k per person. I have a few AR’s but my knowledge isn’t very deep. Which brands should they be looking at where the can have a nice, accurate gun without exceeding their budgets? Thanks for yalls input

I personally have a Ruger AR that ran me 750 and a diamondback AR that ran me 500. Both are pretty sweet shooting rifles. Only issue with the Diamondback is you have to have the bolt locked to the rear when putting in a full mag or it won’t seat properly when chambering a round and it’ll drop the mag. Haven’t had any issues out of the Ruger. You might look into even doing a build. If you catch sales you could come out even cheaper than a grand and have more money to put towards an optic later on. If you go that round do not skimp on the BCG. That’s the heart of the rifle. Everything else though can be cheap stuff and still operate fairly smoothly

3 months ago I would have said a Colt 6920 at $995 or Colt OEM at about $750. Unfortunately, you are 3 months late to the game. ARs are hard to find right now and the good ones will be at a premium.
You’ll get people claiming Anderson, Aero and PSA. I’ve used them some turned out fine. Some turned out junk. Do you’re own research. I’ll stick to my Colt and BCM.Last edited by philcam; 06-09-2020, 09:27 PM.

Couldn’t remember what I paid for it. I’ll likely point them in this direction. Thanks for the reminder of the pricing. These are great
