Hey everyone!
I've been shooting handguns & pistol caliber carbines for 4+ years now, but I have almost no experience with non-pistol caliber rifles.
Last year I bought an AR-15, specifically a DDM4 V7s (chambered in 5.56) and I was pretty disappointed with it:
I didn't like it and ended up selling it after about 200 rounds.
I do target shooting and plinking (no self defense) and the priority for me is a good trigger, good ergonomics, and overall good feelings when shooting (you get it, I'm not a fan of loud & vibrating springs). I shoot between 25m and 300m (well, never used the 300m target so far but I have access to it).
Apart from that DDM4 V7s, I have no experience with rifles and I don't know what to look at:
In your experience, what semi-auto gun(s) would satisfy these requirements of good trigger/good ergonomics/good feelings? Let's say there is no budget limit.
Thanks!!

Last year I bought an AR-15, specifically a DDM4 V7s (chambered in 5.56) and I was pretty disappointed with it:
- The trigger wasn't good (at least compared to what I know: HK MP5, Kriss Vector, CZ 455)
- Had multiple failures to feed AND extract (let's say it was the ammo, but there are guns that will eat any ammo and still work perfectly so...).
- There were pretty loud spring noises when shooting the gun (which made it sound and feel like a cheap thing)
I didn't like it and ended up selling it after about 200 rounds.

Apart from that DDM4 V7s, I have no experience with rifles and I don't know what to look at:
- What caliber?
- What platform (AR, AK, SCAR, etc.)?
- What brand?
