Gun question: Entry level Carbine?

[Apoptosis]

Looking at getting an AR-15 in the next couple months, and I'm kind of lost on which brands are decent for at least entry level. Some people plug brands like DPMS Panther, Sabre, Armalite, etc. and when I asked the same question on a rifle forum, half the members screamed at me to get a: Colt, LMT, Daniel Defense, etc. which is way, way more than I wanted to spend. What would a good Carbine be for say $800-900? Looking online, I can find assorted Armalites, Sabres, DMPS Panthers, and Bushmaster for $735-820 and some other brands like Charles Daly, Colt, S&W for $900-1600+. Decent prices: budsgunshop.com Sabre, comes with 2x30 round clips, no handle, bag, cleaning kit, a HAT: http://www.budsgunshop.com/catalog/p...s_id/411536144 Bushmaster: http://www.budsgunshop.com/catalog/p...ducts_id/46149 Armalite: http://www.budsgunshop.com/catalog/p...ducts_id/49448 Good prices on DPMS: http://www.rguns.net/rifles/rifles-s...lete-556.shtml Chalres Daly: http://www.budsgunshop.com/catalog/p...ducts_id/52804 I'll mostly be using it for plinking and for taking out those liberal bags that flitter close enough to me.. :P OMGNOWAIBADADVICE

rock rivers looks like a good bang for the buck, personally I will go for that doublestar, im not gonna be putting thousands of rounds a year thru it, it might see around 100/year if that.

You guys think the guns are expensive, wait til you start buying ammunition.

best price I found was $.20 a round for the cheaper stuff, about $.40 for the federal

[sarNz]

why are you only going to put 100 rounds a year through it?

You get what you pay for.

Truth. Difference between a 5 dolla hooker and a 100 dolla hooker
