Opinions - Best premium PRE-BUILT AR?

[Vigilant]

Rock River Arms meets all of your criteria. My RRA NM service rifle upper arrived this morning and is already mated to a DPMS service rifle lower. It will be shot out to 600 yards.

Did you really type that out loud? RRA mated to ANYTHING is just...well, and to add a DPMS lower? The OP asked for, well, more than you just offered? Not even sure if serious? Hopefully, purple was implied, and I’ve drank too much?

Haha!!!!!! We need to hang out. Some of these responses are great. I'll buy a round or thirty.

I’m pretty sure that reply was more of a “for your intended use, you don’t need a fancy rifle”. While it didn’t exactly answer the OP’s question, he ain’t wrong for a rifle that will see general range use out to 300 yards.

But everyone knew that kind of post was coming.

Just like when someone asks which model of Wilson Combat to buy, someone has to respond with “buy a RIA and spend the rest on ammo because it’s just as good”.

It wouldn't be INGO without it.

Both are way outdated

Yep, and some turds float.

Did I make it in before the purse swinging?

As stated if money is no object Id go KAC. In second place Larue or LWRC. DD makes a good rifle but I do not think it is in the same tier as KAC. I do not think the typical shooter would shoot them any better than the other but I think KAC is about as good as it gets if money is no issue at this point.

I have shot a few KAC rifles and they just seem perfect but a little rich for my blood at the moment.

didn't Colt buy LWRC? Is quality the same as when it was just LWRC?

I dont think that deal ever happened or did it? I saw all kinds of things on the internet back in 2015 but I thought it fell through.

I have a LWRC DI gun and a 10 year old 6920 for comparison so im not sure if thats fair for the feature difference on the guns. They both shoot great and are 100 percent reliable.

10 years ago Colt made really good guns. Today... eh. I'd rather have an old one.

This is true

My list would look something like this...

JP Enterprises
LMT
Knights
CMMG
DD
Colt (Bold Ideas, Colt Competition)

 

[throttletony]

Noveske
JP
DD
LMT
BCM
or crazy custom from long time builder

(I'd have a hard time picking between these -- I guess the overall purpose of the rifle would influence my choices as well)

A local guy/builder/guy the forum ran off a long time ago had a kac handguard on his shop rifle, cerakoted and all that and recently smashed it... How, i'm not sure, but I know my dlsports handguard can handle being run over by a tractor in dirt and a dually on pavement without failing... I just don't understand kac prices vs kac product. You can have a handbuilt warmachine to your individual specs from a top tier smith for what you have in an out of the box kac rifle.

I played this game earlier this year. Wanted to splurge an a pre-built AR after building so many myself. Ended up with a price vs. quality equation and settled on a LWRCi DI-MLok in OD Green. I have put over 3000 rounds through it without one single malfunction.
