Okay I'm trying to keep it around $1500 before scope. Mostly shooting paper 25yds indoors and 50-100yds outdoor.

$1400
1)a DDM4v11 complete uppper(940) + PSA lower(170). Then a Geiselle trigger 250.

$1550
2)a complete off the shelf DDM4v11

~$1400
3)16" BCM + 15"KMR alpha raile + PSA lower + trigger

I know with option 2 I will end up upgrading the trigger then that will land me at $1800.

Thoughts??

You don't have to spend that much for the gun's usage. Start smaller and upgrade as you go


ETA: A good trigger is worth the money spent

1st AR?

Unless your vision is bad, you don't need anything other than iron sights at those distances.

I would choose with option 2. Mostly because it is a 1 manufacturer gun. The others are mixed upper -lowers (I know that doesn't mean it perform worse)

I too am currently in the market for a new AR. I've got my eye on a LMT QCB MRP Pistons 16", found it for $1528 MSRP is @$2200.

Or I'm going to build using a matched upper/ lower from either Wilson Combat or Mega Arms l. Midlenght 18" 1-8 barrel (not sure which manufacturer) Get a good drop in trigger. Good bolt carrier group and the rest. Mostly spend more on the barrel, trigger, upper-lower then try to save on the restime with an end result of a damn fine AR under $2k.

Another vote for option B.

But play with a V7 first. I really dig the new mlok handguard.

Wish I would have waited for the V7SLW

Noveske Rogue Hunter will start you off right.
Check primary arms they have a sale going on right now that will get you close to that price range.
Your Welcome

My first ar was a DD v5lw and I think the other was the v7 smooth round HG I don't see it listed anymore. I got rid of the v7 and kept the v5lw. I'd love to swap that for a slw in that brown color

I'd go option 2
