Great rifle. In that price range I would also look at JP rifles.

For you guys that are much more informed on this topic than me: I am thinking about getting the BCM 16 Recce from Rainier and It comes out to $1412 after taxes. Is this a decent deal? From what I have gathered, It is possible to build your own rifle for cheaper but how much would it really save me? If it is only a couple hundred bucks then would it be better to buy a pre-built rifle in case I want to sell it in the future? Thanks for the help!

absolutely.
we could go on and on about other options in that price range, but there is nothing wrong with DD

Complete BCM lower is around 390. MCMR 16inch upper is about $700. Toolcraft BCG is about $75 for phosphate or $95 for nitride (BCM BCG is like $180 but the toolcraft is fine). AXTS raptor charging handle is like $60.

It should be somewhere around 10% cheaper if the lower and the individual parts are priced the same as they are in the complete rifle. Whole rifles carry an 11% federal excise tax. The excise tax attaches when the manufacturer sells the rifle, so they pay that tax when they sell it to the distribution network and they build it into the cost of the rifle.
However, a taxable rifle includes a stock, an action, and a barrel, so if you don't buy them all together, there is never any manufacture of a rifle before you buy and there is no excise tax applied to the lower and parts before you buy them. A kit is considered a complete rifle for tax purposes. So, you never buy the barrel, the stock, and the action in a single transaction to ensure it's not construed as a complete rifle. Buying one of the three on a separate day from the other two would be even more insulation for you. Better even would be buying the upper from one vendor and the lower from another, as I've heard of some vendors applying the excise tax if you buy all the items from them at the same time. Different vendors avoids this completely.
When you build your own rifle, you are considered the manufacturer. I have no idea the implications for the excise tax if you sell a rifle that you put together that has not already had the excise tax paid. That might be something worth finding out about.

I wouldn't pay that for a mil-spec chrome lined barrel, but it depends on what you want in a rifle. What you're getting with BCM or DD is (hopefully) a nicer fit & finish, matched upper and lower, fancy charging handle, etc etc. If you just want a gun like Joe carries in the military you can put together a good one for half that price, it'll just have a standard issue hand grip, charging handle, buttstock, etc.
All that said, if you're thinking about re-selling buy a complete gun from a manufacturer, whether it's BCM, Ruger, whoever. You'll have a much higher % resale than one you put together.

Dug a 11.5" heavy barrel out of the closet and re-attached the front site and Delta ring assembly last night. Wanting to build an A1 style upper CAR-15 variation. Anyone have a similar build?

Best site for 300BLK? Recently added a DD Ambush to the collection. Like the option of having a site good for both sub and supersonic rounds. Looking for versatile enough for target shooting and light hunting applications to 100-150 yards.

How much are you wanting to spend?
I bought a Trijicon 1-8x28 FFP for a .308 AR-10. It’s amazing and it would be an amazing scope on a .300 blk. A 1-6 would be great as well.

I’m already in $2K for the gun and another $1K for a suppressor. I’ll get the best site possible.
Posted on 4/28/20 at 10:10 pm to wiltznucs
Trijicon is really good but it isn’t the same level as Niteforce, Kahles, etc.
Mine was are $900.

I'm gonna throw the EOTech XPS2-300 out there if you're just looking for point of aim and not magnification (though you can buy a 3x magnifier to go with it). It's a version of their XPS2 specifically for 300BLK that has a handy marking on the top indicating zero ranges for each part of the reticle for both sonic and subsonic cartridges. I am almost certain it is not night vision compatible because the XPS2 is not night vision compatible.
