[QUOTE="brcfo_outdoors, post: 2321555, member: 113623"] With the AR platform, you definitely get what you pay for. That being said, the quality of value/entry level AR's has vastly improved in the last few years. There is some fun/satisfaction of building one yourself but the novelty wears off after the first couple of times. My recommendation would be to try and get as close to what you want in either a complete rifle, kit, or complete upper + lower, then swap out parts you don't like (ie trigger, stock, grip, etc). Palmetto State Armory and Andro Corp Industries both make great entry level options. Aero precision is rather popular as well in this space. BCM is one of the best value for quality options available, and would be a cut or two above the others listed. You couldn't give me anything made by Ruger. Generically speaking, there are a lot of rifle brands, but they source their receivers and bolts from the few actual manufacturers. RRA, Stag, Windham Weaponry (Bushmaster), are all going to be more or less equivalent for that reason. [/QUOTE]
