DPMS Panther Arms AR-15 anygood?

<< < (2/3) > >>

JMH:
So for someone who isn't interested in building, what are some recommendations for decent, basic AR's (manufacturer)?  Something that has the necessary features and reasonably accurate? 

Seems like whenever I look, there are a whole bunch of makers I have never heard of who are really proud ($2k+) of their rifles, and then there are a handful in the $500-$900 range also.  How much of a "you get what you pay for" is there in AR's?

Waltherfan:
There are no shortage of opinions on which makers are better than others or "Good enough". For a good look at a lot of your options go to ar15.com. They have a section on things to consider when shopping for an AR.
What brand you pick can depend on what you want to do with it and how accurate you want it to be. ARs in general are reasonably accurate. Probably more accurate than the shooter holding it.
If money is a big motivator, then that DPMS is a good buy. It should give you years of shooting pleasure. The other thing you need to consider is what are you going to use for sights?
I used to tell people, "Save money on your rifle and spend it on good optics".

shooter:
 if its only going to be your FIRST ar-15,  its a good buy.. DE guns has them in stock,  its a fair weapon,  will go bang, trigger isnt a match grade, but you arnt paying for match grade,
   if all you going to do is play at the range,  its fine.

   It will also let you figure out what you like, and what you dont like. and what you want. then you can get a better one for your second AR.

Thank you but I'm not buying anything from deguns.  For 3 days they didn't respond to my email when I complained about it on Facebook they said to send them a private message on Facebook. I did. They haven't answered it. They did post a message on FB two hours after the store was closed last night promoting these AR-15s.  I guess since I was asking about revolvers they have no interesting in talking to me.

I'll to go the NFOA meeting and eat their icre cream for free but I'm not buying anything from them.

Guess its back to Bud's Gunshop or Gunbroker. They'll answer emails and sell me a 357 mag revolver for less than deguns.

Randy:
Have you thought about using the good old telephone?
