I agree with the recommendations for the M&P 15. I think it is a good value. I have the plain Jane M4gery with an Acog on top. (The Acog cost more than the rifle.)

One thing to consider is rifling twist rate. Most OTC AR's have a nine inch twist. That is good for bullets up to 69 grains. If you want to shoot heavier bullets or tracers, get a rifle with a seven inch twist, I.e., a Colt.
