THIS IS MY SECOND DEL-TON ECHO 316M-5.56 RIFLE- IT IS RELIABLE, PERFORMS AS WELL AS TOP DOLLAR AR-15'S ON THE MARKET, FOR A LOT LESS CASH. I CHALLENGE YOU TO BUY ONE, YOU'LL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED, IT HAS 1:8 TWIST BARREL, THE BEST TWIST OF THE REST, IS VERY ACCURATE, PERFORMANCE WILL MATCH THE BEST TOP DOLLAR AR-15'S ON THE MARKET. BUD'SGUNSHOP DELIVERS FAST VERY EASY PURCHASES, WITH FRIENDLY STAFF TO ASSIST IF NECESSARY. I'LL RETURN FOR MY FIREARM NEEDS ASSUREDLY, THEIR INVENTORY ON HAND MAKES CHOICE GREAT.

Got this after getting rid of S&W M&P Sport that didn’t have dust over or forward assist. The Delton seems to be just as good as the S&W was but has dust cover and forward assist. Zero problems and great price. Buds guns is great. Easy ordering, speedy delivery. Never a problem yet

This gun gets a lot of attention on the range, people wanting to know the brand. They are blown away when I tell them how much it cost thru Buds.
Outstanding value.

So the gun feels great, quality is good, no scratches or machine marks, seems like a great buy for the money. Stock is meh but great rifle for the price, I havent gotten to shoot it yet because of the rona ammo shortages I'm not shooting currently so I'll update it if it malfunctions or something but this seems like a well built ar for the price, sights are nice barrels nice actions smooth.

I bought this about a year ago for around $450 I think, and am extremely happy with it. Definitely one of the best AR-15s you can get for the money. So far, I’ve fired somewhere between 1200-1500 rounds, and I haven’t had a single malfunction. Shoots accurately, though I haven’t shot it past 50 yards. Buds was excellent service-wise. I purchased online on a Wednesday afternoon, and the gun arrived at my FFL, in less than 48 hours, that Friday around noon. I was very pleasantly surprised with how fast it arrived. It came with no issues, no scratches or function problems, etc. Will definitely be buying my next firearm from Buds. If you are looking for an AR15 under $750, BUY THIS RIFLE. This model, the 316M, is the best in my opinion out of the DTI Echo line-up, as it comes with a 1-8 twist, (which is great for almost all bullet weights), comes with a great rear flip up iron sight, and has the heavier barrel profile. All the internals, (bolt carrier group, trigger, M4 feed ramps, etc), as well as the upper and lower receiver materials used in production, are the exact same parts and built to the same specs that you will see in other rifles for up to $1000 and even higher. Great rifle, INSANE price, and great service from Buds. Thanks!

    In your other post you said you'd be shooting ni further the 100yds, so unless your using this as Varmit control you shouldn't really need something that 3x at the low setting, I would run a reddot, at 1x (which most reddots are) you get much faster target acquisition at close range and much faster transitions. And even if you need to reach out you can add a magnifier at a later date, the magnifiers attach to the rail, but have a hinge on them so you can go from magnified to 1x and back just by flipping your magnifier to the side ( they come in 2x, 3x, 4x, and 6x, and probably more but those are the most common I've seen)
    , the other option would be a Low Powered Variable optic (LPVO) which will be at or near 1x on low swtting and can go up 4x-10x on the high setting (depending on which you get)
    I use my ARs for Plinking and home deffense (never have had to yet but thats what I set them up for) and reddots are pretty dead on to 100yds as long as you train with it.
    Good solid reddots that won't break the bank to bad are the Romeo5

    ------------------------
    And the Romeo7
    https://www.budsgunshop.com/search.php?q=Romeo+7&type=
    ---------------------------
    The Juliette magnifier pairs very well with either of those.

    -------------------------
    Main difference in price on the magnifier is window size, magnification level. And body size.

    Raimound, the Delton Sierra 316 would be the better of the two rifles. The Echo is the base version. Cheers and stay safe!

    Using the tall mount that comes with the Romeo5 will give an absolute co-witness where the front sight post should line up directly with the dot. Like this: https://s3.amazonaws.com/mgm-content/sites/armslist/uploads/posts/2018/04/22/8263928_02_sig_sauer_romeo5_1x20mm_red_do_640.jpg

    Minh, Only difference is a pencil, light barrel on Echo 316L and medium contour M4 cut barrel on 316M.

    Daniel, you don't need to go expensive for a good tight fit rail. I have used the FireField Quad Rail M4 on two of my AR's with nary a complaint Sir : https://www.budsgunshop.com/product_info.php/products_id/85810/firefield+ff34001b+quad+rail+m4+aluminum+black

    Christopher, Del-ton says Barrel material is CMV steel with manganese phosphate finish; M4 profile, threaded.
    Del-ton Customer Service should be able to specify which Steel at 910-645-2172 since they do not add this info in their descriptions.

    It's a 5.56 and will shoot either .223 or 5.56 ammo.

    Mike, Compares very favorably to sub $800 ARs. Has 1 in 8 twist (good) 4150 medium weight barrel (good) and front and rear sights (good). Forward assist and dust cover (good). Milspec not commercial buffer tube (good). Great buy. All features you find on $1500 ARs with more expensive furniture. This price will not last long.
