In before "the chart".

In that price range, go with Stag.

Um...... VERY subjective......
Might as well ask....
Blond, brunett, or redhead.......

Everyone has their favorite......
and everyones favorite will be better than the rest for whatever reason.
more to the question would be.... any to STAY AWAY from??
I personally have not heard any bad things about the major manufactures of ARs. If you have the knowledge, want a CUSTOM gun, and are not overly concerned with warrenty, building one would be a good option..... you can pick EVERYTHING you would like on it, or in it....
if you want quick and easy, check your local gun market, gun show for a used one.... or, I promise you'll find a nice new one for $900, but may have to wait a few weeks to get it in stock..... pay more, have it right away.....

There's a better selection of AR models from a wider range of manufacturers than ever before in history! Your budget will get you a nice mid-grade M4 clone. Unless you go cheap, cheap, you'll be hard-pressed to be disappointed. IMHO> DPMS & RRA (OK), Stag (+1), Bushmaster (-1)... but it's your pick!

your budget definitely knocks out colt and Rock River

for your budget I'd look at DPMS or Bushmaster

I suggest a Brunett and a RRA. I bought an very nice RRA with a quadrail from hit and run in Waycross GA through the mail for about that range. It was just befors the craze hit. I think it was spring '08. Shipped it to a local FFL, cost me $25 for transfer.

DPMS is a good brand and u can get one for right at 800

They make great stuff and you can get a lower for $89 right now. I just built a 9mm AR and have one of their 5.56 AR's as well. Great finish quality and easy to deal with.

Charles Daly or Stag. Best bang for the buck.
