…when in reality that $599 Bargain Bin rifle is gonna run just as fine as that $1200 colt for the vast majority of shooters.
There is some truth in that statement. The real problem is that the vast majority only shoot a couple hundred rounds a year and have never attended a training class.
Until the time comes when they understand that they need to train with their gun to improve their odds, the bargain rifle will serve them well.
I don’t understand the controversy of The Chart. I didn’t find anything in it that said “you should buy this rifle.” It’s just a straight up list of what companies have what features.
The Chart - Bunching panties on TOS since (whenever it was made).
Then again, I don’t think they needed a chart for that to happen.
OP-I know nothing about ARs, but I want a cool one with a bunch of geewiz go-fast shit on it. Is this list I made accurate?
Response 1-Yes, that’s a good start. There’s a few people who are in the know, search for their posts.
Response 3-Add my xxxxxx (tier2) to the list, it’s milspec!
Response 4-Not all ARs are created equal. If you want to buy quality buy colt-bcm-lmt-dd-noveske-sabre. If you want to spend a little less initially but deal with a sub-par rifle buy (tier 2). Don’t even bother with tier 3 (oly, dpms).
Response 5-Oh no, not DPMS that’s a tier 1 rifle! (because I own one)
Response 6-Don’t waste your money on a Colt. I built my gun with sub-tier 3 parts and although all I have done is post pictures of it on the interwebs it sure looks cool!
Response 7-me too! I even wasted money getting a tax stamp for my piece of shit.
Response 8-Look at how clever I am posting a picture of Moses holding the damning “Chart” which tells me I wasted my money and bought shit. The TDP doesn’t mean anything. Fuck my life.
OP-I’m going to buy a tier 1 rifle (I actually listened to the advise.)
So they’re wrong because they don’t want to spend the money for a Noveske rig just to blast prairie dogs and plink at the shooting range? It’s not the chart that tells off people who don’t buy the ultimate, it’s the forum members that like to make a huge deal just because someone bought a CMMG rifle and they don’t like that it works just fine for its intended roles defined by the owner.
It’s not just that forum. It’s any place where people can voice their opinions on what rifle is best for the money without getting chastised for not buying a Noveske.
So chill out. Neither side is right in bitching out the other. It’s their money and life; not yours.
I see too many people get defensive to the point of acting like they’re the human version of a product when talking about which AR15 brand to go with.
I actually agree with you. If someone wants an AR just to have one, to shoot 20 rounds a year, to scare Aunt Edna at the family BBQ, and post pictures of the gun on the internet, any old thing will do.
However, if you read some of the posts there that is NOT what they are saying, and the majority of the time when people get wound up about the Chart that is not what they are saying.
