Looking to buy an AR 15. Best economical option?

Looking to buy an entry level ar. I’ve had a few people tell me to stay away from some of the lower level ones like the Ruger 556. Is this pretty accurate? Any of the cheaper versions worth buying?

Smith & Wesson M&P15 sport 2.
Put about 1800 rounds through it within the last month or so. Absolutely love that thing.

Some retard on AR15.com? No, Ruger hammer-forges their own barrels and they are quality rifles overall. Those, S&W M&P rifles, RRA, Springfield...all solid brands. Don't build an AR until you've owned one or two and have a high degree of familiarity with the platform. They aren't hard to assemble but a small screwup means big problems.

I third the PSA option. Find an assembled lower and an assembled upper you like and never look back. You can piece together a really nice rifle with full length rails, sights, BCG and virtually whichever buttstock you'd like for $500-$600 if that's your budget.

Man some people are snobs about AR rifles. To them if you dont build it you're a hapless idiot.
I've shot a ruger 556, M&P sport, I own a colt expanse. They all go bang and shoot good groups, I'm not sure what else an entry AR is supposed to do.

I'd go with the Aero AC-15M over a Ruger AR. It has a better set of receivers, better bolt, and a better barrel. It's a little more money, but worth it.
And yes, I have both. The Ruger isn't a bad gun, the Aero is just better.

To each his own but I built one with a cheap punch set, screwdriver, mag well and AR multi tool . Larry Potterfield Youtube walked me through it. $420 spent and chambered in .223 all mil spec accessories. I cheated a bit buying the upper completed. Then I built another one and upped the ante. You can built it no problem.
