What are your needs? Do you really need 2 or 1, if just 1, buy the best!

Man, why the price extremes? You could probably build one very, very nice, high quality rifle and have cash left over to pay bills or buy magazines or something.

Out of your choices, Noveske. In your position I'd get a BCM middy with a rail and aimpoint, then spend any leftovers on ammo.

Me, I'd go Del-Ton. I suppose it would be nice to have a Noveske, sure, but I would still go Del-Ton.
Now, if you asked me about two Olys or one Noveske, then sure, Novske. However, Del-Ton is a terrific gun with a ton of praise on here. But in the end there is really no reason to go Noveske over two quality Del-Ton for the same price. (Except for the snob factor of course) |

I like the look of the Noveske rollmark and I understand their barrels are excellent, but what other qualities make the Noveske stuff so desireable? Basicly I am asking what is a person paying for that isn't found with other manufacturers? I want one of the 12.5 Crusader barrels if they are ever available again, but I wouldn't buy a whole Noveske rifle. Not that they aren't worth it, but I just wouldn't do it. I have done some business with Del-ton and their customer service is excellent, but I have never owned one of their lowers or rifles. I hear they are a quality brand and a good value.

in a firearm quality is the most important feature. if the weapon is to be used for self defense QUALITY is the ONLY feature that matters! if it'll never be used as a defensive weapon then get whatever you want. i don't completely get this "2 is 1" thing either. if there is a serious event and you are going to rely on your weapon to save your life are you going to be carrying two of them? i want to see this. i want to see a guy with TWO sub-standard AR-15's running around after the world just went to shit. you can hump enough food, water, shelter and other necessary items but still have room for that "extra" AR? when the guys that are carrying all the guns and ammo only make it a few miles before they kick over and die cause you can't eat an "extra" AR i'll bet they were wishing for more food and water. then all of your "stuff" will be looted from your corpse, thanks for the ammo. no sir, not me. i'll take 1 well built rifle that i know is as tough as it can be and has been tested and proved. add some ammo, mags, a small cleaning kit and a few common spare parts and i'm out the door. BCM, LMT, Colt, SABRE, Noveske, DD or KAC |

So bring spare parts. Which can be easily contained within compartments attached to the rifle via stocks, grips, VFGs etc. In a true SHTF scenario there WILL be more important items than your weapon. 8lbs of redundant, useless weight will not do you as much good as 8lbs of water. |

Quite frankly the only thing separating Noveske from any other quality AR is the barrel.
The rest is COTS. Quality, but still COTS. And also, quite frankly, Les Baer and Wilson Combat carbines aren't the equal of a Noveske. And with other barrel makers stepping up their game, shelling out the cash for a Noveske isn't the very best way a person on a budget can spend their money, IMHO. If you've got plenty of cash, don't hesitate, they're great rifles and they hold their value pretty well. But the vast majority of Noveske buyers would be better off with a BCM, a 6920, a Spikes CHF rifle, etc for less money, because they could use that money for other things. A Noveske with 1 magazine and no ammo isn't going to do you any good. |

I own a few Noveske's along with quite a few other brands also. Since money is obviously an issue, I think you'd be better served in getting a quality rifle from manufacturers such as Colt (6920), DD, or, BCM. I shot for the first time a DDM4 and I was very impressed with the quality.

Regardless of manufacturer, given the choice between one top tier rifle with mags, ammo, etc., or two mid tier rifles, I'd go with the top tier every time. I understand your angle about having another rifle if one fails, but bear in mind your failure rate decreases dramatically with the higher quality rifles. You stated it was a range gun for the most part, how many can you shoot at one time? I think if you get the higher end rifle (Noveske or otherwise) with some accessories you will never look back. Just my $.02.

The OP said nothing about HD and specifically said he was going to use these rifles at the range and for varmint shooting. Del-Ton will do just that, and more. Mine goes to matches and I'm purposely not cleaning it to see when it will fail. |
