how would you rank these AR manufactures

I made a similar post a few days back and I've now decided on the AR platform over a M14 style
Looking to stay in the $1000 range but will go up to $1500 : 556/223 : want something in the 16-18" barrel length, for plinking, range shooting and want something fairly light weight, accurate with a good trigger and smooth. Not going to put a scope on it for now, iron sights and maybe a holographic sight like EOtech
I don't want to do a build but not opposed to purchasing a complete upper and lower of separate manufacturer.

What about LRB?

LMT is just as good as DD or BCM.

I will only own Colt. That is my preference.

FWIW I built mine from scratch during the height of the panic for just under a grand for what I think is a top shelf rifle. I just waited for deals to pop up at normal prices over about 6 months.
Certainly not the best out there but more than adequate.
Palmetto lower, LPK, barrel, and misc upper parts.
BCM upper, midlength gas tube with low pro gas block, and BCG.
YHM rifle length hand guard.
Primary Arms optic.
Magpul furniture.

I have a Colt Match Target 20 inch and a DPMS Oracle 16 inch. The Colt has slightly better fit and finish than the DPMS but neither has had any problems with jamming or accuracy. DPMS might not have a great reputation but in my experience it is just as reliable for approximately half the price.

I paid out the arse for a colt 6920 shortly after sandy hook. I cant make any comparison, but i love that gun. I pulled it out of the box and was popping shite at 250 yds without touching the sights. Havent had a single problem with it, knock on wood.
