Best AR under $1000.00

Acog clone. Emphasis on clone.

It'll be ok for now. He can upgrade later.

Missed the clone part. Still fine

Thats the plan

Can't go wrong with the smith & wesson m&p 15 for your first ar. It's a sweet shooter that's as reliable as they come.

I picked one up Saturday for $649. Has good iron sights, and I threw a $179 Vortex Strikefire II on it, was dialed in after 10 shots.

There is a 300bo in the classifieds with a leupold 1-4 scope on it. Nice build

I love my S&W M&P 15. I don't have much experience with Radical Firearms guns, but I've been by there twice for parts, and they had excellent customer service. I actually called on a Saturday once, when they were supposed to be closed, and a guy answered the phone and told me to come on over. Turns out they were having a staff meeting, but they still brought me in to buy a $5 part. Seemed like a good group of guys.

S&W-M&P and Anderson have been "flawless" for us.

I picked up a sig m400 enhanced with 2 mags and a soft case for $1000 out the door. Local pawn shop had it for sale, maybe 50 rounds down the tube when I got it

I was in your shoes this summer, bought a dpms and put a nikon p223 on it as well as added rails and a fore grip. Im in at maybe a touch over a grand with this set up and love it.

Thanks for the advise everyone, I have a buddy with a Colt LE6920MP with 3 mags, 100 rounds, a case, and an Acog clone in my price range. I have decided to go that rout and sounds like from what everyone is saying I am getting a heck of a gun.

Excellent choice.

Great choice on the 6920. Then you can put a quality optic as funds allow.

It is so refreshing to see someone pay attn. & pull the trigger on the correct choice...nicely done. Money well spent on a tier one rifle & will hold it's value.

Bravo!!
