Opinions - Best premium PRE-BUILT AR?

[ryan3030]

Money is no object.

Which vendor these days sells the best complete premium ARs? I'm typically a BCM fan but their complete rifle offerings seem to be fading away.

Companies with a strong track record of good customer service and outstanding warranties are given preference.

Looking at:
Noveske
KAC
DD
LWRC
etc...


Intended usage is normal range use, 300 meters or less. No preference in rail systems really.

LMT, DD or KAC would get my vote.

Looks like you've got the big names in there.

I'm a BCM fan but if you want other features some of the brands may offer more in the "premium" category.

The only one I would add to that group would be Larue.

DLSports.com If money is no object. Hand built, and proven for years and years. He's been in it long enough to know wtf he is doing. His handguards are the most comfortable and robust I've ever had. They are very spendy tho.

Better consult the chart... oh wait, this isn't M4C.

If you hit enough forums and read enough "experts", all of them are junk.

I love my Barrett , Seekins, and believe it or not my Armalite(before there was a A&B). I know a few guys that swear by Colt and I wouldn't own one and would sell it if it was a gift. You're good to go with any that have been listed so far. Do a little research and pick a poison.

Check out POF also... But so far, you've got a good list with the additional ones mentioned.

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.

JP makes a good rifle.

Daniel defense would be my choice. Do some research, I've been told crane uses their stuff when assembling rifles for tier 1

I am a big fan of both seekins and the the barrett ar15's. Seekins stuff is just so well built and thought out.

Crane uses whatever they want as long as there is funding. (You’ll also notice that LMT was once the sole source for the Crane SOPMOD stock if you want to know what is used at Crane. DD was/is also used for MK18’s, but LMT had their hand in that basket too). LMT or Knights Armament are the premier go to pre-built factory rifles, a nod going to Knights for being “better” than LMT.

I like Seekins.

If I were buying one, I’d go LMT or DD.

I wouldn't touch Rock River after there little political stunt.

BCM is where my money lies.

I love my LWRC, but if I were going to spend 2k+ on just the rifle KAC is what I would personally get. The SR-15's are badass
