I have been seriously thinking of buying an AR-15. I just don't know what brand to get. I have a budget of $900 total. That's with tax and background check. Anybody have any suggestions on a solid reliable riffle in that price range?

Bushmasters used to be in that price range and some models may still be.

Holstered,

First off, I see that you have recently joined the ranks here. Let me welcome you to what I consider the best defensive carry site on the web. There is a wealth of information here, and many friendly and knowledgebale people.

If you check the Rifle section you will find many post regarding your concerns. I myself was in the same boat as you recently and went with, although it cost a little more, a Colt. I decided that since I use one at work it made sense to have the same rifle to train on at home on my own time.

With that said I will be turning in my credentials in two weeks and resigning my position. I was not asked to resign, it is just something I felt was the right thing to do, as I didn't agree with how things are going. I tried to make a change for the better but kept getting my head bloody from hitting the brick wall.

Anyway, enough about me. Welcome and enjoy your time here.

You could always build a parts gun if finances are a problem.

Many options to suit your needs. Personally I would suggest a $800-1000 price range to start. If you really like AR's you can always upgrade.

Pick up a used Bushy or DPMS.

When I bought my AR, I too had a price range. I went to my local gun shop and asked what was available in that range.

I used a DPMS throughout my 3-gun days, I will swear by those guns, so will a lot of 3-gun guys I know......

I bought a sportical 3 weeks before the election for $625.00, I don't know about now though.....Here is a link to gunsamerica where I searched:
