So i'm looking for a rifle never owned a AR before I have always been of the school of thought that "you get what you pay for". These seem like some bad ass rifles but it seems odd that they are so relatively cheap for such a built rifle like I said dont know much about AR's so if anyone could educate me that would be great. Thanks
Ps. looking at this one RRA LAR-15 Tactical Operator2 they say it retails at about $1000

I am about to buy my first AR as well. I am really considering the RRA, but Spikes Tactical is starting to sway me! You should check them out.
I really want a SCAR!

Thanks! I have my fair share of firearms, lots of handguns and a few hunting rifles. I have been trying to avoid the AR for a while because I know I will never stop!! First an AR, then a SCAR, then an ACR, not to mention optics, handles, lights, magazines, slings, etc, etc
My Jeep mods will sufer!

Honestly though if you are new to ARs take your time and do your research. I have built 5 of them from the lowers up. You will find you get what you pay for like most things. Also ARs are really fun because you can build them up in so many different configs...much like our Jeeps...honestly my (BRD) Black Rifle Disease has taken the fore front to my Jeep Mods but thats all about to change time for me to off load some AR awesomeness to fund my Jeep MODs. Me personally I will not buy complete Rifles from anyone besides BCM, Noveske, Colt, LMT or Larue (but Larue wont sell complete to people in CA) Only uppers and piece parts no billet lowers for us.
Also it just depends what you are going to use your AR for too. Me I love my ARs and I run them hard. I like to take tactial shooting classes too and push myself and my gear to the edge, but I know thats not for everyone. If your thing is just plinking and shooting paper from the bench. Then some of the lower quality, less dependable and less expensive kits should do you fine. But from reading your post you sound like me pay once for quality and the pain is once...least that was my thought.
One Key thing you should not accept any parts other than "MIL-Spec". Mil spec parts are military grade parts made to the same specifications that the military requires. Also what kind of shooting you want to do will dictate what Kind of AR would suit you best. If you will be bench rest shooting for distance and sub "MOA"-Accuracy then you should look at getting and SBR (18" min up to 24"). If you want a tacti-cool AR with all the evil features then an M4 or M4 like set up would work. Or like most people I know get one of each and start reloading so you can afford to keep shooting them..
There are plenty of parts and accessories to be had these days and lots of good deals on forums like Ar15.CXM Calguns.NXT, M4carbine.CXM etc etc...just take a look and do your homework. I can guarantee though if you start building your own before you know it you will have 2.3 4 or more of them in the works...
If you have more questions feel free to PM me I can go on for hours on this...good luck in whatever you decide.
Oh and yes like a few others here I think the SCAR is awesome too!

I had a RRA Elite CAR A4 for years. Great gun, great fitment, great quality, & great accuracy. Never had a problem with it. You CAN spend more money on a gun alone, but this will be like your Jeep, you're gonna put more money into it. I spent another $1500 on accessories alone and another $1000 on ammo.

Another good thing about RRA.... Most all of thier package guns come with a RRA 2 stage trigger. I have other makes of AR's but all of them now have the RRA 2 stage trigger. Normally costs around 125.00 to put one in if it doesn't come with the rifle. The more you shoot AR's you will realize that you will like it even more with a good trigger!!
