I wouldn't turn down a free one if someone is so outraged he wants to give his away, but I strongly prefer DPMS or DSA, CMMG is good too.  One thing I don't want is any weird shit like Punisher or other comic logos, critters, or political sayings cut into the mag well.

Armalite should be on that list.

Next thing you read is this DUmbass lost a finger because he closed the bolt on it.  What an idiot.

My club has a 600 yard range. I use a 308 for that distance.

They have a 1,000 yard range over at Oak Ridge, in Knoxville. I want to get a 300 mag for that distance. It's pretty exciting to hit a target from 1,000 yards. It's no easy task.

One of the local clubs here has a 1000yard range. They only shoot that distance a couple of times a year, so it turns into quite a social event with people from all the surrounding clubs showing up to have a go.

I was up there the last time they shot it, using a 308, and did acceptably well with a 50.2 and 50.0 (each out of a possible 60.10).  Someone with a straight 284 got a possible and nearly a possible.

Don't have anything bad to say about 'em, I've just never had any experience with them, they're pretty rare in this neck of the woods.
