Ballistic Advantage and Aero make some really excellent AR-10’s (around $1,000) that are meant to be great foundations and then you can easily customize from there….

I need some advice on shelf AR10's

The complete lowers are real reasonable. You can buy the lower and upper separate and save a ton off the assembled rifle. I am going to look closer at jàjthem. I was under the impression their rifles were 1500 and over. I like their parts. Great fit and finish. The Ruger seems like it would give up some strength due to the smaller receiver but that's just a guess however, the reviews are very positive.
I won't be trying to set any records for accuracy but down the line I will probably want to upgrade to a much better barrel but for initial wants it will work fine.
I have an upgradable one listed.
I have owned a few, including an M1a SOCOM. But I don’t need it. I don’t hunt. I live in the suburbs where the farthest threat is like 125 yards. My only used are punching paper and maybe bad guys.
For me, 300bo fills that roll, I already have it, and the overall package is tiny.
I want a SCAR but sure as heck don’t need it.
The Anderson ar10 can be had for 700 bucks. I think it's a solid place to start for the budget minded shooter
As much hate as PSA gets, I’ve been happy with my PA10. They can be found in the $600-$1000 range pretty easily. I traded into one last month. After inspection, I discovered a missing set screw on the adjustable gas block. Sent an email to PSA and 24 hours later a new gas block was in the mail…only question asked was if mine was the 3 or 5 position unit (keep in mind, all I needed was a set screw).
The only upgrade on mine is the beefier charging handle and the 1-4x24 Nikon LPVO. Sighted it in at 25yards with Winchester M80 then moved the target to 100 yards…First two shots below with LPVO, third with cheap ass UTG 45° offset micro red dot.
Needless to say, I’m happy with it so far. A bit over gassed at first but I adjusted the block and ordered a heavy (5oz) carbine buffer. I’ll see how that works out but before, she cycled perfectly fine just throwing brass at about 2 o’clock. No case head swipes or shearing, no primer blow outs, and no mangled brass like my previous DPMS AR10.

I think hoplopfheil (no clue how to spell or say that) did a video on the sfar. I think he said it took a lot of standard AR parts. I believe he said, though, the way Ruger beefed up the barrel/receiver fitment, he wouldn’t try changing barrels on it.
