In the market for a "Black Rifle"

[mcdover]

I've got plenty of hunting rifles, but no tactical stuff so I'm looking for advice on what to get, and where to get it. Lot's of manufacturer's and I don't have a clue.

I like the Smith & Wesson M&P 15 sport. For the price, it can't be beat IMO.

You want a AR platform or did you wanna go a different route?

Yes, an AR platform .223 chambered.

Lots of choices out there, just trying to make an informed decision with the help of some of the resident expertise.

 

[Team Paulie]

build or buy?

Buy. Definitely buy.

I've been looking at the Springfield M1A. It's not an AR platform but I plan on getting it for the impeding apocalypse.

Already covered in the pistol category. Desert Eagle .50 for sheer stopping power, and looking at a Kimber presently.

That seems the be the general consensus. I always wanted something larger than the .223/5.56

Understood, my Father really wants an AR-type rifle so I'm looking forward to some of the gun hounds to respond. There are so many options now it's so much to look through.

Armalite,One of the M-15 series,

So what do you plan on doing with this rifle? Killing zombies, commies, or intruders?

The best thing to do is figure out your budget. Then get an lmt.

 

[WHITESVTCOBRA]

M&P 15 is a great choice for a AR platform.

+1. No complaints.

Already have a MP15. My next rifle will be a Sig 716, it's chambered in 7.62 x 51mm.

5.56 chambered is recommended. Gives you more options.

If you want an accurate AR forget the carbines.

White Oak Varmit upper
Whatever lower you can find with a decent trigger
Stock of you choice
Scope of you choice

1/2" Groups at 100 yards.

Accurate rifles are more interesting.

Also been thinking about picking up a Sig516, due to it being chambered in 7.62 X 39mm. Never really cared for the AK style rifle, but wanted something that's more reliable, and that can shoot AK rounds.
