[QUOTE="cstunes, post: 1127046, member: 86943"] With so many choices in the AR arena these days it can be overwhelming for sure. If you read enough reviews you'll find someone saying XYZ brand is garbage almost universally unless it's a Noveske or JP or similar "top tier" AR. With that said, I would take a look at Stag Model 3's, M&P 15, DPMS, APF Armory (have this one myself and has thus far been flawless) or the market is flooded with used PSA kit builds. Bushmaster comes to mind when considering budget AR's, though I personally would steer away from the poly lower versions. Colt makes some entry level AR's that would be worthy of a look. Once you find some of these in your budget it will be up to you to decide what you can live with for options and how you would like it to look. I would not hesitate to buy a slick side (no dust cover or forward assist) for this use. You'll want a flat top to accommodate optics. I would probably even consider budgeting another $100 for an aftermarket trigger. RRA two stage match is popular, Geissele is the high end of AR triggers and for good reason. The stock mil spec trigger, while serviceable, is less than ideal for precision shots. If you're coming from a good bolt gun you will be surprised at how heavy and gritty a stock trigger can be. Once you settle on the rifle you can live with to start, it will be infinitely changeable after the fact if you find yourself gravitating towards certain furniture etc. For song dogs you'll probably be in the ballistic tip weight category rendering a 1:7 twist a little on the tight side for the 40gr pills. A 1:9 twist is most common in the lower end market and will suit you just fine taking 40gr pills all the way up to the 69gr match bullets should you choose to shoot those someday. 16" carbine is probably the best choice if you do much hiking to your stand to keep weight light.
