BCM. There is no better value for the dollar and no better quality.

Colt, Bravo Company, LMT and S&W are all fine brands.

I have to agree that right now I don't think you can find a better value and better quality than the BCM rifles.

Looking at quality before price.


Then Noveske.

if your taking the AR hunting you probably want a more than average accurate rifle im guessing, so i would say Noveske since price is no obstacle

BCM, DD, LMT, Colt are all top shelf and competitively priced.
KAC, Noveske add some bells and whistles that bump up the price, still top shelf. If it's in your budget, don't hesitate.

S&W, RRA, CMMG, CDD are all high end TierII brands. If you choose sensibly among these and run a couple hundred rounds through them problem free, these are just as good of a choice (gives you more money to spend on magazines and ammunition).

There's always the cobble-together-your-own option - get a high end complete upper (see above), quality lower, and add your own magazines, BUIS, furniture, sling.
I'd also say that any of these is capable of adequate accuracy for .223 hunting - at MOST optics and a two-stage trigger for varminting.

I can't think of a better value than BCM.

I am new to ARs but I think this is a pretty good value for the money. You have to get other opinions fromt the more veteran personal on this forum for their opinions on this setup.

i'll go ahead and agree with others. my very first ar15 was a s&w mp15t, and i sold it because i didnt really realize what i had. im a gun whore, when i dont shoot something, i get rid of it to buy something else.

second rifle was a daniel defense ddm4, and i caught BRD as they say. poured a buttload of money into it and now im starting a new build that i plan to build from the ground up. bcm chf midlength upper with seekins precision lower. all the usual bcm/magpul/troy accessories. this is the first time im building one from the ground up so i hope everything works out good.
