I just bought a flat top $699 (rebate is over but these keep popping up in different places and before someone posts CDNN is selling for $599 they were out in late Aug).
Bought S&W MP 15 Opticat Ready (Flat Top) at Gander Mountain in Sherman, TX on Thurs 9/9. Was $699 after rebate http://www.ar15.com/forums/topic.html?b=3&f=118&t=509050 Monster 3 page post w/ links for sling and iron sight difficulties. Also, I have a Cost/Benefit Analysis on link above. $723 after rebate here: http://www.budsgunshop.com/catalog/product_info.php/manufacturers_id/31/products_id/53496 I know you can build but if you cant find a flat top these might be an option. |

It's just my opinion, but it does not make sense to spend $500 or $600 on a low quality rifle, when you can add $200 or $300 to it and get a good one. $500 is a lot to spend on something that may equate to crap. |

if you shop around you can find something anywhere from 550 - 700. you might want to check your state's local gun websites and try for something local to save on FFL fees.

Del-ton kit($465), ad cheap lower stripped. (just say 100 after ffl fee). Thats $565 and you just need either a rear sight or a red dot. Del-tons are actually pretty good too. even have tested bolts now. You dont get chrome lined, your getting cheaper barrel steel, ect tho.
edit, wtf with the hippies, shooting a tree wont kill it unless you cut it in half or go all the way around it(strip the bark off in a ring). Anyway, where do you think your paper targets come from? The berm at your range is grass (or dirt and grass was killed to make it) so you should shoot there cause your killing grass
but seriously.,.. at the hippies.
