    OK, opinion time. (yes I've already searched)

    What is the best under $75 large charging handle. I decided to put a scope on my AR, and I just don't like the current handle. I've been looking for a bit and reading as much as I can.

    Seems most go with the VLtor-BCM or a Spikes version.
    I want something that will last, and allow me to use it easy enough.

    Input?

    I just picked up a Raptor and it is very nice but a touch above your price range. The Bravo Company medium latch is a great CH also.

    I havent picked one up yet but Bravo makes a large latch too like Phylodog mentioned. It lookes like it has the larges latch,from all the ones Ive seen online. 50 to 75 dollar range.

    I'm using the BCM large latch (not Ambi). I debated between medium and large but decided large. So far I've been very happy with it.

    I got mine for less than $50 new on ebay.

    Good luck with your decision...

    Snapped a couple pics of my BCM large (thought I had a medium) and Raptor for comparison.

    If you're looking for ambi, I think the Raptor is hard to beat. If not, the BCM is great.
