new riffle purchase ideas

I will get a very nice commission check next Friday. I am looking to replace my colt sporter AR 15 that I sold during the last craze (got close to 2g) . Thinking about another 556 AR platform or a Springfield SOCOM 16 308.
I want to stay under a grand or close to that amount. I want to keep it in the 16" barrel range. I'm leaning towards the AR platform that way I can change calibers if I want. Unless I get compelling arguments on the 308 SOCOM 16.
I have wanted a 204 ruger and I know that Wilson Combat makes complete uppers in 204 . I know that isn't in the budget I have for this purchase but I can easily afford to add that if I decide later.
So what AR would y'all get for around a grand. Colt, Sig, etc.

if you do not have a 204... get it NOW! I dont have one in an AR platform but u do have the savage predator master 204 and all i can say is AWESOME! I have 2 safes full of guns and this one is the most fun! I sighted it in at 100 yds, moved back between 250-300 yards and shot a 3 shot group that didnt look like the bullet dropped any! So so fun!! Pull it out if i see a crow a couple hundred yds in the field and snipe that ho before it knows im there!

I love my S&W M&P-15. I have the Magpul edition, although I think the only Magpul part left on it is the stock and my MBUS when I actually use it.
I got mine for $900 all said and done brand new around 3 years ago. It was a tax-free weekend, and S&W had a $100 rebate going at the time.

Black Rain
If you're willing to spend a little more I recommend them.
Haven't read the whole thread but I love Black Rain's BRO-PG5 model.

308 SOCOM 16.
If you want the shorter barreled M1A do not get the SOCOM. The fore end is very heavy with the already heavier (thicker) barrel. The brake is ridiculous as well. The rifle will be front heavy.
If a 16" M1A is what you want get the Scout model, its lighter and less cumbersome to carry. Scope mounting options on M1A's get expensive, and you need expensive to maintain zero.
Honestly, If you are going to have a 308 battle rifle an 18" barrel is the way to go as 7.62x51 was designed with an 18-20" barrel in mind. Better ballistics and no velocity loss.
IMHO, every man should have an M1A. Great rile with great sights.
If you want a truly nice AR, build one. Start off with quality upper and lower receivers, VLTOR, Mega, etc. Get a nice trigger. Good BCG and barrel. You could build a rifle with top notch components for a steal now.
The sig is nice, but you are paying to much for what you are getting.
You can start off with this billet Royal arms lower for 140 from AIM.
Get this upper from Ranier for 170:
Here is a qualit ranier arms barrel for 250ish:
BCM BCGS are going for about 160ish or you go rock one of these:
COST:
Royal arms lower 140
VLTOR Upper 170
Rainer Barrel 250
BCM BCG 160
Gesselle Trigger 200
Misc Handguard 250
At 1150ish, will need a few more less expesnive parts and you are GTG for under 1400.
If you want to stay close to 1k, delete the trigger and upgrade later.
