Yeah the Colt wound up being my lightweight house/truck gun. Think it weighs a little under 7 lbs, as shown, less scope and ammo. Mil-spec reliability

tex, Flave, AH64 are all dead on. At $718 or anywhere near, the 6920 OEM-2 is a no-brainer.
I picked up 3 full Magpul Kryptek Highlander 6920's for $740-750 when they hit their lowest price point I'd seen in the last 10-15 years.
If you watch for sales you can get a really nice quality floating rail system for ~ $150-160, like BCM, Geissele, Troy.
Other accessories, new and used, pop up cheap every now and then, too. Stocks, backup sights, triggers, etc. I picked up 3 Daniel Defense FVG's for $8/ea a little while back.

FWIW I think Aero Precision and maybe some others are building an "OEM" style gun like that, where you provide your own furniture & rail.

buying a cheap AR 15 and doing some shooting is never a bad idea to see if you like it and to figure out what accessories you must have.

A 6920 is a gold standard, but don't forget the lighter 6720 (essentially same rifle, just with a skinny barrel).
It is rarely a mistake buying a Colt BTW.

Look for a 6920 "OEM-2" model. It comes with a low profile gas block, and no furniture, so you can dress it up however you like. auction: http://www.gunbroker.com/item/614451650(this auction is too high priced, you can find them cheaper) This is mine, after adding the Troy rail and furniture... What' optic is that?
