The time has come for me to get a new 223 rifle. I need some advice as to what the get, since I would like to get the best bang for the buck. I already have an AR180B love it. I am NOT interested in any version of AR15. My main criteria are: reliabiliy, accuracy, low price.
Here are the choices:
1) Vector arms V93. A copy of HK93. To be honest, I like it the most. If it only had an easily replaceble barrel, I would NOT look for anything else. I LOVE my C91 sporter more then any other rifle!!!
2) RAACfirearms Saiga 223 (20" barrel). Cheap, but not good in accuracy
3) SIG 556 (though I hate the flip up sights and foregrip on those)
4) Should I wait for Bushmaster ACR (aka Magpul Masada)?
5) Should I wait for AR181? (Armalite assures me that they should be out by the end of the year)
6) Arsenal AK? (What are its advantages over Saiga 223 since it costs 3 times as much)
7) Century Arms GOLANI/GALIL. From what I heard it has pretty much the same ammo as Saiga 223 - 3.5MOA with Wolf. And does NOT have a chrome line barrel. What advantages it has over SAIGA 223 or ARSENAL AK?

Thank you very much in advance. Once again. I am not interested in ANY AR15 versions, since I shot them, handled them and while impressed with their accuracy I am UNIMPRESSED with their reliability or lack of thereoff. I tried DPMS 20" classic and a BUshmaster Dissipator. Both were equally accurate, and BOTH hated Wolf Ammo about as much. So, AR15 rifles are not even a choice for me.

Thank you all for advice. Each time I follow YOUR advice, I do not regret it.
I love the Imbel Based FAL I bought. I LOVE the CZ75 I bough based on advise from YOU, guys. I trust YOUR judgement and expertese.

Sincerely

T.

Funny you overlook that with all the Vector and Century items on your list.

Has your experience shown those to be extremely reliable and well built?

I'm not advocating the AR for you since you don't want one, but you've got some stuff on that list I wouldn't trust at all.

Century Galil? Never heard anyone say a single good thing about those.
Vector? Plenty to be concerned about there too.

Honestly it appears you are putting low price BEFORE everything else on a couple of those.

Of that list it sounds like the Saiga is your choice. I think you'll be very happy with one of those for sure.
