You can build a really nice rifle yourself for 2 grand. Once you fire a high end custom rifle you won't go back. Sounds like overkill for what you want though. Whatever you get, mage sure it fits you. I can't tell you how many people I see at the range with rifles that don't fit them.
LWRC, LMT, HK416 are at the top of the AR gas piston list.
If im spending around 2k on an AR it will be gas piston, not DI. Ask any Army or Marine infantry guy how they like cleaning DI guns. LOL
Yup, this. Unless you are competition/long range shooting or you just want bragging rights on the name brand or how much you spent.
I'll send it in a PM.
No competition but my cousin and a friend have been setting up some targets at our place in the 300-500 yard range for fun.
I've been happy with my Spikes.
I was in a similar position last year. I went with the American Defense Manufature UIC Mod 2. I've really enjoyed mine and they come loaded with good parts. You get a billet upper and lower, cerokated finish, ambidextrous controls, ambidextrous charging handle from RADIAN weapons, a BCM compensator, Criterion barrel, Magpul Pro iron sights and Scales. Just get a good sling and some mags.
It's a solid gun and comes under your price budget.
theyre not too far from me if I'm not mistaken
Core Tac IV $1460
Core KeyMod Scout for $800
Unlimited lifetime warranty, even on accuracy, and built by ex service members.
I think they are out of FL if I remember off the top of my head. I didn't want the cheapest ar, but I didn't want to spend more than I needed to.
Now I'm looking at a scope for it. I'm leaning towards a vortex viper which can be used as a red dot with no magnification or up to 6x magnification.
Mmm...those are pretty sweet!
Spikes is good but you are in the price range of DD. BCM (Bravo Company) is also a great choice also in the $1500-2000 range. Like i mentioned before Palmetto State is really good value for the money. It cost me around $700 to build and will tear up any ammo I feed it. Ive probably put 4000rnd through it with no failures and sometimes its hasn't been cleaned in a while. Most ar's in the $700-900 range will work well and last a long time.

We do a TON of work for these guys. They seem driven to make a premium rifle. Home - Black Creek Labs

Yes they are located in Apopka Fl. I got a Spikes in 5.45X39. As there is a reason for this if you think you are just going to take my rifle and use it against me. The first time you slam a 5.56 or .223 mag in and try to chamber a round is when you'll find out real quick you made a huge mistake with me as it'll jam and let you standing there with a surprised look on your face.

I realize they’re gas opposed to DI as I have three LWRC’s. I was simply stating that the last time I shopped DD (Albeit a while ago) I felt as though they were more expensive.
