I owed a COLT LE6920 for a while and now I am looking to buy my 2nd AR
I want to try a 18" barrel AR but can not make decision.
There are almost no reviews of the FN DMR but I can find some reviews of Armalite M15 .223 Wylde Tactical Rifle 18"
They both seem great but which one is better (ignore the price)?
Thanks!
Edit:
I just found Noveske Rifleworks Rogue Hunter has the similar configuration
I guess the Noveske is better than other two?
What will you be using the rifle for? Are you wanting match grade accuracy? If so, the FN isn’t even in the running since it uses a regular chrome lined barrel with only a 2 MOA guarantee with match ammo.

Those are your only two options? Probably a lot better options out there if you look around. I am currently saving my pennies for a Ranger Proof RPC in that configuration.
This will be my range rifle most of the time for 200 ~ 400 yards
I just want a 18" AR that can shoot better than my LE6920
Armalite seems a good choice but I am not sure about .223 Wylde chamber
Any good with .223 Wylde chamber, comparing to 5.56 chamber?
Looking around the Armalite is running around $1400, has a chrome moly barrel, and looks to be more designed for three gun than precision.
If you are wanting an 18 inch barreled precision-ish rifle, I would be hard pressed not to just find a BCM upper with their stainless barrel, 1/8 twist, and a rail of my choice, grab the BCG and CH for the extra $70, then get a lower of my choosing, and rock on. If you decide to build a lower you might even be able to swing a geissele trigger and be at the same price as the Armalite, maybe less. If you shop around you can likely find similar/equal options, or even better in regards to precision capabilities for less.
