In a perfect world I would like to own them all but that doesn't exist. The Barrett rec7 I was eyeing at buds gun shop popped up again for the same price and as I was saddened that the first one was gone I took the leap and purchased this one. It was a bit more pricy than most of the other ar's but since this will more than likely be my first and only ar I want one I can trust. Again while several of the other rifles mentioned in this tread are great I really liked the engineering simplicity of the rec 7. (just my own humble opinion). The piston system is similar to my dsa sa58 and I have confidence in that rifle. I also liked that the the bolt and bolt carrier are nickel Teflon coated like some of the other higher end ar's that I would have had to special order and pay more for. Let's hope that my gut was right in buying this rifle. I will post my Impressions and range report when it comes in. Take care.
