I'm planning to purchase an AR-15 for target practice and predator hunting. I've started to research them and didn't realize there were so many brands. For those that have experience with "black rifles", what brand would you go with.
- DMPS
- Bushmaster
- Stag ARMS
- Rock River
- Remington AR15
- others????

Bushmaster and Remington are the same rifle, one is just camo.
I believe DMPS and RR use parts from a supplier and just put the rifles together...
I think Stag makes their own..Oly Arms does for sure.
I myself have a CMMG lower, RRA parts kit, Bushy upper and it shoots great...

A golf course is a willful and deliberate misuse of a perfectly good rifle range.
I like the Smith and Wesson AR's myself. If you haven't looked into piston driven ones, you should. A piston driven AR keeps all the hot, dirty gases out of the action which prevents it from fouling up and overheating the action. I like the new Ruger 556 as far as piston driven rifles go.

i have owned and handled many ars and i must say i like the armalites the best. the one i have is very accurate and the upper and lower receivers have no absolutely no play in them
my buddy got this colt..and she is a beauty colt ar15a3...i had a few off brand and some rem and some wolf and some Winchester shells i have piled up over the years...they ran through with no problem and we were puttin just about every other shell different (wolf,rem, Winchester) in every clip..where as my other buddies was jammin now and then... his is a ruger ...and is still very nice, but i believe i like that colt better, but i'd take either one.

well the skinny on AR's, they are about the same, barrel quality is the main difference.
about all the makers with the exception of oly and stag buy all or some of they're parts from the same pool of vendors (oly and stag being among the vendors) wherever they get the best deal and just assemble in house.
stag furnishes RRA's parts and RRA offers a lifetime warranty so they are a bit more, oly also has a lifetime warranty.
bushy and rem are owned by the same parent company (who also owns armalite, marlin, cobb and a few others) so bushy makes the rems. I have AR's by RRA, Tromix, J&T distributing, and a custom by a guy named d'tech who runs dedicated technologies (a custom rifle at almost production prices) its basicly do your research pick out your barrel and take your chances. wish I could help you more but just too many variables to narrow it down unless ya wanna pay big money for the customs that come with an accuracy guarrantee (IE Les Baer)
RR
I've owned several ar's and I would have traded any of them for a mini 14. I'm a mini 14 guy all the way. The best ar that I owned was a Bushmaster.
