I agree. I have heard so many people bash dpms and others when they have never even fired one. I own a dpms now and it it very nice. Shoots fine. I need to sight it in but that will come. I used to own a colt. I loved it but needed money so I sold it. I wish i still had it but oh well. I am a realist. I know that I am not going to be shooting thousands upon thousands of rounds a year so I don't need a DD or some of the other top tier rifles. And really, most others don't either. I think a lot just buy into the name. I even heard a guy one time say that the reason someone would say something like I just said is because I own a dpms and not a colt or a DD. That is not the reason. I bought what my budget allowed me to this time. I can always get a more expensive one. But really, what's the point? Mine works great. No need to spend over a grand on a rifle. And most of the top tier companies have higher prices because they know people will pay it. There is no reason their prices should be that high. Your exactly right, get what you can afford and get great at using it. You can always swap parts out for better ones on the future. Thas the best thing about an AR.
you must have misunderstood what I meant. I am not talking bad about people that buy expensive ones. I was talking about he people that have never even shot some of the lower tier ones yet they are experts on them. They only buy some of the top tier because of the name even though the rifle will sit in a safe. There is nothing wrong with owning an expensive one. Especially when you use it all the time. I would be dumb to run someone down for buying an expensive one because I bought a colt. Hope this clears what I said up. And when I said most don't need a top tier one, that didn't mean everyone.
