As for the ruger, correct me if I wrong but isn't it a piston design as opposed to the direct impingement? You may have feelings for or against one.
As to your question about high end guns. I have one custom 6.5 Grendel I paid $2500 for. I often ask my self why, when bubba posts pics of his groups shot with a gun costing 1/4 what mine did. Of course bubba never shows more than a three shot group at 100 yds.
But hey, I got all those fancy parts Lilja barrel, geissele trigger, Seekins hg, Nicole boron bcg etc etc....
My point is, some cheap guns do shoot well. The only difference I feel between my high dollar ar's and my hunting ar's (which aren't cheap just not really high dollar) is when you pull the charging handle the high dollar stuff just feels smoother more polished. Are they worth it? I don't think I will know until I try to sell one, which may never happen.
I did forget about the Ruger AR 556
My next question is since you all seem to like a lot of these lower end ARs, what makes the $1500+ ones so much better? Reliability? Accurancy? Less weight?
