Default M&P 15 .223 AR Rifle

Looking for opinions on this rifle. The price seems right but I know very little about AR's in general. Want one just to have, some plinking but not much else. Thoughts?

Don't spend a ton of money on one then; unless you want it to be accurate as well ! LoL

Are you saying the M&P is not an accurate rifle? I don't want to break the bank on one but I don't want a POS either, that's why I'm asking...

Camo,

Sorry, what I mean to say is; don't spend a lot of money on a gun that you are doing to be using for "...some plinking but not much else".

A M&P AR-15 should be more than fine for that kind of work (fun) !

If it's just for plinking, you could also take a look at the M&P15-22. With ammo prices going through the roof lately, my Colt AR was getting a bit expensive to shoot, so my two sons and I each bought 15-22's. Fun, accurate, and cheap cheap cheap to shoot...We always leave the range looking like this... And, you can accessorize just like with the .223 version.

Like the previous post stated. But if you want a .223 and if the M&P is anything like its .22LR counterpart than it will be accurate, fun and reliable. I already owned a Stag Arms M-4 and snatched up a M&P-15 at my local gun shop. What a blast to shoot.
