I am considering purchasing an AR-15 for my son to compete in high power competition. I know very little about AR's and the different manufactures. I have read numerous internet post and read good and bad about almost every brand.
After checking out AR15.com, it appears that Olympic, DPMS and American Spirit are considerable cheaper than Armalite and Bushmaster (Bushmaster did not have prices on their web site, I am assuming they are similar to Olympics prices). In this case does the saying, you get what you pay for apply?
I would appreciate any input on what would be a good choice. I am seriously considering a standard model with NM sights and a trigger job since we are occasional competators now. One of my main concerns is reliability with reloads and over all function.
Thanks in advance.
