Hello newbie. Welcome aboard.

Save a few more boxtops and buy a Colt 6920.

In the meantime spend some time reading this.

Smith and Wesson and dpms both make good flat top basic guns for around $700.

Do You want a scoped varmit rifle or a .Mil style M4 rifle?

When You say Target shooting is that from a bench?

This can help Us to help You where to start.

Get a S&W M&P Sport and be done with it.  Entry level basic and it is all you need for now. Good grief.

Palmetto State Armory M4A1 if you can find one at a gun show or shop your area. Last gun show I was at you could have gotten one for $800 sans rear site.

Right now best deal on a AR on the market, will do your needs. I speak from experiance, own one myself



That has the carry handle from my Colt SP6920. I paid $775 with tax last fall, rifle was $725.00

$345 more and he gets free shipping. Still needs a lower though and still might be worth seeing if he can find the complete rifle realtime his area. He lists as being from NC so it might be worth checking out his local shops

Spikes, dpms, sw, bushmaster, or save a little more
For a colt.  Or build one yourself?  It helps to spread out the cost
