I want to try the AR15 platform but I don't know where to begin. My primary purpose for the rifle would be deer hunting and shooting at the range. I want a .223 and I plan to use a scope. I think that I would like to buy a rifle off the shelf. What do you recommend?
Price as a big factor: Smith and Wesson MP15. Should come in around $700 today. Price as a lesser factor: Colt 6920.
