Best value in AR-10 platform?

[BamaFan]

I'm looking for the Accord/Camry of AR-10s. Not willing to pay for a SCAR but don't want to save a few hundred dollars and get junk. So, what are your opinions on the best value in an AR-10 that fits that description?

I have several, in 308/762 and 6.5 Creedmoor, including PSAs, Aero Precision (M5 Enhanced), Troy (MA10), Mega Arms MATEN, Daniel Defense (DDM5V2) and, for the money, got to go with Fatal_Bert and say Aero Precision (with quality barrel and trigger group).

Any recommended source to purchase Aero? I see they sell rifles without stocks and handguards, which is nice.

I get pretty decent dealer pricing at Aero so if you send me a link to what you want I'll be happy to quote you. I can definitely save you a few bucks under what they sell direct for.

However seeing as it's black Friday coming up I'd be searching for some deals from Brownells or or other large retailers that might be blowing out some inventory too.

Directly from AeroPrecisionUSA.com when they are ON SALE. Hoping they will show up with a new Thanksgiving/Black Friday deal any minute now!!!

My last M5 Enhanced Upper Receiver Assembly (M5E1 Enhanced Upper Receiver and 15" M-LOK Handguard Combo - Anodized Black, APAR308554MS, directly from Aero Precision) was $179.99 shipped. Picked up the Aero Precision lower from Brownells for $89.99, delivered to my FFL. My Aero Precision lower parts kit came from Arm or Ally for $27.88 (without FCG and grip).

Other non-Aero parts included a Ballistic Advantage barrel, Toolcraft BCG, VG6 muzzle brake, Geissele gas block and mid-length tube, ALG Defense ACT trigger, Magpul MIAD grip and ACS-L stock on a Spikes Tactical buffer tube kit with heavy T3 buffer, and a Sig Sauer iron sight set.

I think that about sums it up... all in for just under $1,000. That is a "Camry" price when compared to many of the others.

Brownell's had the Aero AR10 lowers for $80 and the uppers with FA and dust cover for $110 for their Veteran's Day sale.
