If one were looking for an inexpensive, reliable-enough, and acceptable quality, what are the leading brands models of AR's today? This person isn't looking to run 1,000's of rounds through the gun--just a few hundred every once in a while to keep some friend's/family members up to speed on putting lead on target at the range. The rest of the time, this/these rifles would see a lot of dark safe time. But when/if needed, it'll go bang without fear of a cheap part failing and rendering the gun useless.
What are your suggestions for the "buy 'em cheap, stack 'em deep" category? No frills--just good ol' solid base rifles.
If that's too wide of a question: what are a few must-have critical features/specs to look for?
I'm talking in the sub-$1,000 market...maybe even the sub $500 market (if such a creature exists that meets the above descriptions).
