They are asking about 1600

I know its a bit overkill but at that price it seems reasonable, thoughts

I don't know if I would spend that much on a Spike's, just my opinion.

 

[cwillour]

The barrel and trigger make it interesting and it sounds like a good price for a new reputable build with similar specs, but if it is used or was not put together at a shop I was comfortable with I would probably pass for the $$.

 

[wilianknow]

I think that 1300 would be more fair of a price.

 

[snowrs]

It is a spikes built gun about 150 rounds through it and demonstrated sub MOA supported seated. I did look up just the trigger, rail, and stock and those alone are 800 new and thebillet upper/lower run 500 from Spikes.

Do you really think I could find comparable for around 1300?

 

[dom1104]

Nope, thats a deal. If its what you want. The parts are worth more than that.

Key point here. I have $1800 in an AR that isn't what I really want

 

[snowrs]

The only reservation I have is it is 18" and I wanted a 16" other than that it has everything I wanted plus.

Is this your first AR? If so, I'd say get one that's more "standard" to start out with. $900 on a factory built AR will allow 1000's of rounds for the same money.

 

[snowrs]

It is my first but I have shot alot of them and I know I want a front rail at least 12" and the UBR stock, I really like the fit and finish of a Spikes as well. So if I was to buy a 900 dollar AR I would be taking off the front sight, adding a rail and replacing the stock.

Sounds like you have your answer then.

 

[snowrs]

Decided to pull the trigger, had him throw in the BUIS and got it delivered to my FFL for Less than asking.

Nice groups. 100yds, I assume?

NF scope?

 

[davedolli]

Nice rifle, I think you did ok. Great groups also. I have that same trigger in a couple of my ARs and it rocks.

Nice find and congrats! Don't look back, enjoy it and put it through its paces. Looks great.

 

[thoroughbred]

That's a nice build at a fair price and if your happy that's all that matters. I really like those bio billet uppers/lowers too. I don't think they are even making them right now at least last time I looked.

 

[snowrs]

Yeah we ended at $1500 shipped so I was OK, those are his groups, and his Nightforce, I am still debating on buying it at a pretty good price with the rifle but that is a huge investment in optics.

 

[whackmaster66]

Sweet rifle!! I think you did good for your first Ar.... Happy shooting

 

[Patriot3]

I've messed with alot of ar15's and that seems to be near a good price, try to get them to lower it to $1450 and youd walk away with a sweet deal
