I own a M&P 15 Sport. It was the first AR I purchased. They are a good, basic carbine. I mounted a red dot sight and use if for plinking and hog hunting, and have never had a problem with it. I also have a BCM rifle, and while the BCM has more features, it isn't any more accurate or appear to be any more reliable than the lower cost Sport.

There are several other rifles out there though now in the same price range that have more features than the Sport. Ruger, Del-ton, and Palmetto State Armory all offer a rifle that have forward assist, ejection port coevers, and PSA and Del-ton have chrome lined barrels. If I were in the market today, I would probably look at an upper from PSA like this one for $384.99.

Then pair it with a lower like this

Not a bad rifle for $515.
