AR-15s S&W Or Ruger out of the box ?

I like the Aero Precision ac-15 better than those. 1/7 twist and More milspec parts (RE and BCG) primary arms and Brownells have sales on them. A 1/9 twist is fine for most bullet weights up to about 77 grams. The SW has a melonite barrel the Ruger doesn't but is CHF. For a basic range gun all of these have been proven reliable budget options

Yep, plus they use a Ballistic Advantage barrel, which are great barrels and are guaranteed sub MOA with match ammo.

Discussions are mounting at my groupies and which AR and Why would you choose one over the other,Now these guys are just looking for shooter/hunting quality and not really into building unless its their deck at home,and what optics for target or hunting ?

There was a guy at Split Rock today that was selling both M&P15s and Ruger 556s for $549. I'm wishing now that I would have bought the S&W.

Do you look at the Deals thread?

There's a M&P Sport II just listed for $498 I think.

And a Del-Ton Sport for $399!!!

Actually, no I hadn't. But at $498, won't I still pay more than $549 after shipping and FFL fees?

The Delton is a good price, but I don't know much about them. Thanks for letting me know.

It seems to group well. But you missed the quarter.

Del-Ton has been around a while. I wouldn't hesitate to get one.

I'm too cheap to ruin perfectly good legal tender.

Actually I think they are free shipping.

Dollar for dollar, deal to deal,

Here's what you are looking at

Local PA Dealer at $549 + $32.94 sales tax

Online ad @ $498 + $20-25 (avg transfer fee) + the Use Tax which you are supposed to self report on your yearly State Income tax return

It's ok to support your locals

I guess it depends on who you buy from. I do remember looking at more than one site earlier that had $25-30 shipping in addition to the sale price, which brought it back to the same ball park as what I was looking at and I actually got to hold and look over the local rifle before buying it. It's worth a few bucks to be able to see whatever it is that I'm buying up close.
