Recommend me a good first AR-15

Title speaks for itself, or a a variant.

Websites, prices, etc. help.

Budget is wide, but not unlimited.

I have a Ruger Model 8537 and it has never failed me. I drill holes with it. Really solid for a cheaper piece.

Any of them. ARs are commoditized these days (there's a very small number of vendors making the same parts for different companies), and the quality even on the low end is very good.

I bought a Delton Sport because I liked the lightweight pencil barrel. Miscers with joocier forearms than me may see that as less of a consideration.

Rock River
Springfield
Colt
Ruger
DPMS
Bushmaster
Delton
Omni

List is debatably in order of quality. All have budget options, $500-$1000, that are available off the shelf ready to go.

If you have a Dunhams sports in your area, they usually have an assortment of budget options.

Colt 6920 is the gold standard for non-boutique base ARs IMO.

For me personally AR is too much work, you have to dial in your sights, maintain and clean everything, I’d prefer go with something simple like AK even thou I own an AR.
