The RRA is about $1,000-1,200 for a heavy barreled models around here, which is in line with the Bushmasters, either of which I would recommend at that price (and I wouldn't pay more than that for an AR-15 unless it was a custom job). The DPMS are considerably cheaper, and definitely the best heavy barrel AR-15 available for $700-800 new (mind you, it DOES need a new trigger or trigger spring-kit).
