To the OP:
The Chart is a good jumping off point. Yes, there are some minor errors in it, as there always will be with those makers that do not hold to any standard as they change vendors and features(both for the better and worse).
However, even if Olympic Arms all of a sudden started selling a chrome-lined barrel, it still wouldn't much matter as to the overall quality of the firearm.
In addition, The Chart is about the models referenced which are all "M4-pattern". If you're varmint hunting, or shooting NRA Hipower, or something to that effect then it's likely that none of the rifles listed will serve you very well.
It is impossible for anyone to suggest a rifle to you without first knowing what it is you want to do with it. Failing to do so negates the advice given and calls into question the motivations of the giver. Most people will have experience such that their sample size = 1, yet will feel confident in recommending their pet brand based on this insignificant sample size.
So, what do you want to do with it? Matches? Classes? Plinking? Hunting varmints? Hunting something bigger? Home defense? LE patrol? Contracting in Iraq? The list goes on and on.
Tell us more about your wants/needs and we can better help steer you towards what may work best for you. And no, "general purpose" is not an answer.
I don't know why people jump on Rob_S for the chart.
Charles Daly / KBI had a horrible reputation with dealers because they imported some less than high quality guns in the 80s and 90s and had a bad customer service reputation until recently. The name alone scared my boss.as for the Daly guns, they're practically extinct around here. Dealer's seem to shun them for some reason.
