When it comes to a short list, the Palmetto State Armory PA-15 emerges as our top pick for most shooters, offering an outstanding mix of reliability, accuracy, and value based on our extensive testing. If you’re buying your first AR and want to keep costs down, the Anderson AM-15 is the budget pick that still delivers. And if money isn’t the deciding factor and you want the best of the best, the Daniel Defense DDM4 is the premium build worth the price tag.
