Recommendations for Black Rifle

[retreaux]

I am looking to buy one in the near future. Any suggestions in the $1500 - $2000 range? Also, I understand the difference between the gas vs. piston systems, but which is "best". This will be my first rifle - have a few hand guns.
Any info is appreciated. Thanks.

You could get a nice Daniel Defense with a good optic in that price range. That would be my choice if that were my budget. I am not familiar with all of the different models that are produced by DD, but some others can guide you on what model would best suite you. The rifles seem to run in the $1200-$1400 range which would leave you $600-$800 for a nice optic and you will more than likely have some $ left over for some ammo.

I'd suggest going by a 700sps tactical, a can of flat black Krylon, and spending the rest on a good scope, rings, and base.

Daniel Defense, BCM, or Colt in that range definitely

POF, Seekins Precision, Blackrain Ordnance are also some brands in that price range.

For 2 grand, you should have no problem getting a kick ass rifle.

What do you want to use it for? What caliber? Are you talking about an AR platform or are you open to other options?

Here's a few sweet pieces:

I will shoot it at the range. But it is mainly to have it. Thinking .223/5.56. What do y'all think of the Sig 556?

Click on the "ORDERING" tab, just below the picture then you will see the base price. You then can go to the "Rifle Builder" and add the options you would like.

Buddy of mine has one. Not impressed. I'll take my DD m4v7 any day of the week. You're paying for the Sig Sauer name. Still a good rifle, but nothing special.

For $2000, I would catch a sale and get two complete 16 inch midlengths from Bravo company.

[1911Dave]

So many better options than the Sig . Do you plan on adding optics also for that price?

 

[CarronJ]

LWRC but you won't get optics.

All of the above are great recommendations BUT I would go with this http://www.rainierarms.com/?page=shop/detail&product_id=2889 and you wont need to do anything to it all, learn to use the iron sights and the rest is lagniappe .

Noveske

 

[dwhess504]

On the higher end of your budget ... I would go with a SCAR 16 Or ACR. You get piston with the latest technology.
Plus cool Factor. Of course all of the Recomendations above are good too....

 

[Sin-ster]

What's your intended use for this thing? And perhaps more specifically-- what's important to you? (Durability, functionality, "cool factor", accuracy, light weight, etc.)

That's about the only pertinent response that I can think of-- though it's good to know your price point in advance.

Just preemptively, since it's your first and I suspect I know the answer... Since you're willing to drop the coin (buy once, cry once), Daniel Defense, Bravo Company or Noveske are the only three I'd bother considering.

Unless you're admittedly lazy and plan on shooting a bunch of ammo up, very quickly and very frequently, without wanting to sully your hands afterwards with cleaning... Maybe consider a piston gun. Staying "cool and clean" in the bolt carrier area is about all it does better than a DI gun, and despite what many people would have you believe... That really doesn't mean squat (if anything) in terms of keeping the gun running.

It will however be heavier (especially at the front end), have not-so-standard parts, provide more sight upset, run the risk of suffering problems inherent to taking a gun that was designed one way and trying to make it work another, and eat up more of your budget that could otherwise have gone to optics, mags, ammo, etc.

DD M4V7. Spending any more on the rifle will have no positive gain. Spend the rest of the cash on an optic, mags and training.
