Help I need an AR style rifle!!!!!

[cygnus x-1]

Ok guys, here's where you get to help me out. I really want an AR style rifle. Yes I know I can build one, but that will come later once I am familiar with them. So with that said, What would you recomend? I held a DPMS Panther the other day and man was it nice. Very Good fit. $849 new. I believe it was a 16" barrel. Thanks ahead of time.

depending on your Budget and intended use.... it appears you've already made the choice.

DPMS makes a decent rifle and it's hard to argue with the price. If you can see fit to increase your budget a bit, I think you'll be able to get a rifle that's more than just decent...Take a look at a Smith and Wesson M&P15, BCM, Remsport, Ruger, etc...

Better rifle and some change in your pocket. If you DON'T live in MA you can get the free state version.

First figure out what your going to do with it. If at anytime your going to put your life in that guns hand move up from DPMS and start looking at M&P, LMT, BCM or a Colt 6920. To get a gun down to that price point a manufacturer would need to shave costs at places and skip some forms of testing.

if your going to do nothing but range time, DPMS would be fine.

S&W M&Ps are a great off-the shelf item available at most local stores.

Yeah, I have a S&W M&P 16" upper that I like very much. I have no qualms or concerns about the quality, works great.
