Home Forums Hunting & Shooting AR and Tactical Rifles Best AR from a box…

For me, it would have to be the Geissele Super Duty and the Sig MCX Virtus. Can't go wrong with a PWS either. Daniel Defense is a great rifle but the trigger disappoints in the newer models. They went from a Geissele to milspec. I spent all that money and had to spend another $250 to put a Geissele trigger back in it.

Daniel defense makes good rifle

How many pay periods do you have in a year?

Sons of Liberty Gun Works.

While there are lots of good AR's mentioned here, only a few are the "Best".

W/o much doubt, Knight's & LMT are the very top of the heap, now maybe Geiselle has joined their company..............maybe, but not proven over time as with Knight's & LMT.

Behind those are maybe Radian, SOLGW, DD, Noveske, & then, maybe Colt & FN & maybe BCM.

Pretty much everything else, many of which are still very good, still fall below the top tier ones above. Larue is not what it used to be.

YMMV

That sums it up quite well. I believe Geiselle , As you stated given time will be right up with your top two.

Would you detail about specifics that make KAC and LMT stand above the rest? Appreciate it.

Here's one to consider, whatever the F it is... BTW, pricetag said $7999.99.




Also today at Brownells there was an LMT 2000?l (iirc) for $1k.

The FN would be hard to beat if you just want a plain old Milspec Carbine.

If I was buying another “cheap” AR, it would be a PSA.

The best and most accurate AR I’ve ever owned was a Les Baer.

For defending your life, your family, your Constitution, and your country you owe it to yourself to get a quality rifle. It is your responsibility. Get something tried and true that has been put through its paces by hard-use end-users. Get something from the likes of Colt, Daniel Defense, BCM, LaRue, or Noveske. You don't have to pony up for the Gucci rifles like KAC or Hodge, but they are nice if you can afford them. A good quality white light and red dot or LPVO should be added as well. Good luck!

I purchased my first ar this spring. Psa blem. (Can’t find the “blem) put a vx3 hd 1.5x5 on it and it’ll shoot 1.5” groups all day, and functions perfectly. It’ll likely get a new trigger at some point but for 5 bills I’m pleased.

KAC is good and LMT MRP with enhanced bolt is good if you like the hand guard. The regular M4 type LMT is not in the running.

KAC has a special bolt and barrel extension lockup. They are also gassed right. But they ain’t worth the money they want for them to me.

Proven long term reliability, reliability & reliability................oh, did I mention reliability?

Yah, I gathered that. LOL Was wondering about what makes them that way... Taking a deeper look at their offerings... Interesting, very interesting. Going way beyond mil-spec... Thanks for bringing them up.

DS Arms is a sleeper. Known for their FAL’s, they make a nice AR too.
