“Daniel Defense delivers a reliable, accurate AR-15 in the DDM4 V7 with enough extras to keep 5.56 fans interested. Though the pistol grip’s ergonomics are less than ideal, this rifle more than makes up for that with QD mounts, a threaded barrel, and an improved muzzle brake.” – John C.

“The DDM4ISR is a .300 BLK integrally suppressed rifle from Daniel Defense. It sports a 9 inch cold-hammer-forged barrel with an overall length of 16-inches. This gun features a Keymod handguard and handles just about as smoothly in a shoot house as it does out on the range. We had no problems whatsoever during our testing. This rifle loaded, fired, and ejected perfectly. The grip angle may feel odd to some, but overall it’s great once you get used to it.” – John C.

The Sig M400 Tread is a great mid-level AR-15 for those looking for something above an entry-level rifle without breaking the bank. Good furniture, a quality barrel and twist rate, and a decent trigger make this rifle hard to beat its the price point.

The LWRC DI is one of the more affordable options for users who are looking for a fully ambidextrous high-end AR-15. These guns are duty ready and feature-rich at a competitive price point.

“The Springfield Saint Victor doesn’t have a crazy hook, what it does have is an impressive set of features, a lot of extras, and it comes in at a crazy reasonable price.” – Travis Pike
