Ok...I'm looking for another AR-15. This time I would like to get something in an 18" gun with a good trigger and a heavier barrel. It would primarily be used for shooting 200-400 yds at paper or varmints.

I really like Daniel Defense's V11 Pro, but I am hoping to get one in the $1500 price range. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I bought the Colt CRE Expert. 18 inch barrel guaranteed .484 MOA with the factory target grouping I got. I is out sourced to a different company but it is a solid gun and my favorite out a lot of AR's. It's retails right around the 1,500-1,600 range and it's worth every penny. Sub 1/5 MOA out of the box is hard to beat. They catch crap because it's not made at the Colt plant but it has to be a great gun for them to put their name on it. I topped mine with a Vortex Viper Pst TMCQ MRAD reticle. It is a bad set up. A true 1-4x24 so it can used a red dot and a 4 power scope. It truly is my favorite AR set up. I just couldn't pass up the accuracy of the gun. That's what sold me.
The barrel process is so hush, hush they say proprietary process. Most of the hard parts are made by Colt and then sent for assembly by a company in I believe Texas or Arizona somewhere down there.
If you want one of the most accurate 3 gun rifles you can buy off the shelf 3-gun or not in that price range look at the Colt CRE Pro or Expert. One is a few hundred dollars more than the other but really not worth the extra for a good 3 gun unit.
Simply a bad ass gun and nobody can convince me otherwise and I have been building rifles for a while.
Now that I have been building for a while I can build one that can compete with it but it will still run into the low thousand to 1200 dollar range and most of the time more. Just depends on how spiffy I want it to look. Thing is the barrel usually cost 400-600 just to get the sub 1/5 moa. Unless you spend a couple months coming up with a reload that will work that good with the cheaper barrels.
