best AR 15?
 
probably will be primarily used for coyotes and an occasional target shooting. make and model would be appreciated, price if possible would be great.

Mine's a Colt.

I hadn't heard of Dedicated Technologies before. I'm going to check that out. I think an AR in .243 would be sweet...

What's a "parts house"?

I thinkRidge Runneris referring to thefact thatmost AR-15 manufacturers use a lot of mil spec parts in their guns. Olympic Arms is big on making all their own stuff. As a Colt certified armorer and a gunsmith specializing in AR-15/M-16 rifles for 30 years, I am not real big on Olympic Arms rifles. I have found Colt, Bushmaster, Rock River, and Aramlite to be of very good quality and generally stay away from Olympic Arms.

Bushmaster all the way. Varmiter with fluted barrel and free floated aluminum forearm will shoot 1/2" groups at 100 yds and 1.25" at 200 yds. I load my own w/ Sierra 69 gr #1380 match bullets and 24.5 grs of Varget. I also have a Bushmaster in the M4 with the Mini Y and 16" barrel. it shoots excellent as well. It could probaly shoot as well as the Varmiter except is has a Mark 4 CQ/t scope vs. a Springfield 4-14 Tactical on the Varmiter. Just my opinion. Good luck, they are all fun to shoot.

Buy the parts and build your own!!!

I have 2 1/2 AR-15's.

First one is a 16 inch Bushmaster, 6 pos stock, A2.

The second one I built myself. It's a DPMS lowerwith an A2 Stock, Rock River A3 upper in 20 inch.

The 3rd is a Double Star lower with a DPMS parts kits and a 6 Pos. Stock. Haven't decided on a upper yet, but most likely will go with a 16 inch flat top upper, with mid-size length4 rail tube with a Yankee Hill flip up front site.

The 4th will be......????

I believe that most AR's these days are made by the same company, but they just stamp the company'sname that they are selling it toon the lower. I just bought a new 24" Varmint Upper for my Bushmaster lower from mapartsinc.com. After that I have seen the same upper sold by other companies all claiming that they are the ones that made it.

Handloads will get me under a dime with 5 shots.
