Re: Suggestions on higher-end AR-10 platforms

The reason I the post was created in the 1st place is multi fold.
1. I'm not rich enough to buy each of the 3 rifles, work uploads and decide for myself which is best for me based on my results.
2. I stated my desires/requirements to the best of my ability at the time of the post to let folks know where I was coming from.
3. I am happy to admit both I know a bit and theres plenty I don't know..... Thus I asked folks what I posted.
4. I <span style="text-decoration: underline">made an assumption</span> that you folks would be a good -reasonably non-biased resource for opinions - based on experience.
5. When I had the opportunity to get a much better deal on a POF than retail, I would be a fool not to consider it. Perhaps 800.00 is chump change to some, but its a reasonable amount of money for me.
Ultimately I will have to make the decision that's the best for me. As I learned with reloading, I and no one else needed to decide how far to chase "perfection" That applies to hand loads and to rifles. Will their be better options, sure. Without asking, I can't collect the information. As such, I can't make an informed decision/purchase.
Thanks for all of the comments from folks. Its helpful to me in making a more informed decision.

Here is the deal, I have shot all three of the rifles you commented on.
If money was no objective the choice would be GAP, Larue, POF... however because you are watching your budget, the choice is POF, GAP and Larue.
All three are very accurate and will do 1/2" minute consistently, in an AR10 that is outstanding.
The POF is a very good bang for you buck, and the key to all three of these rifles is the Barrel... using a good barrel pays dividends when it comes to a Semi Auto. Also the advantage that GAP and POF have is the heat sink connection, how it marries the barrel to the receiver. It creates a very solid lock up.
Nevermind the two guys fighting, I put them in the corner for a few days.
The extra money saved is not going to be noticeable in performance, especially with the average shooter. Get the one you can afford first and enjoy.
