there is an awesome review on that page.
The price is affordable enough to curb the cost of optics. </div></div>
+1 DEFINITELY! Spikes Tactical makes the very Best AR you can get for the money. You can spend more for something like a Colt or LMT or Noveske or any of the other "High Dollar" AR's but you're mostly buying the name. </div></div>
+10 Spikes offer a GREAT value for the money!! Higher grade aluminum upper and lower...barrel...everything is very tough! For around $750, you're getting a very high quality rifle!
LMT and some others offer different components for sure, but if you're not looking for those, there's no need for the extra $$.
I didn't read what the rifle would be used for though. Maybe I missed it?? That might help us make recommendations. </div></div>
No personal experience with Spikes, I imagine they're fine rifles but the $750 rifle comes with 7075 forged upper/lower and chrome moly barrel. Thats pretty much standard fair for good AR's everywhere. The billet stuf starts at $500 just for the naked upper/lower combo. Everyone has good sales from time to time. Find one from a quality maker that you like and is priced right with the options you want and go with it. Have fun.
