Need some help on what brands to STAY AWAY FROM as well as GOOD TO BETTER brands to consider without POing the wife tooo much with the $$$.
Personal opinion I stay away from Model 1 and Olympic. Saw a 4 month old Model 1's bolt snap in half and heard enough bad reviews about Olympic to shy away from them. Most other brands are good to go, such as Rock River, Colt, Stag, Bushmaster, S&W, DPMS and others. DPMS and S&W support the shooting sports a lot so I look to buy from them first.
Edit: Just saw you got identical advice on who to avoid in a thread below.
