https://greyhive.com/videos/watch/e352cc2b-cc77-4de6-88dc-c5e1a6c0534a In this video, we conduct a full accuracy test of five popular budget AR-15 rifles: the Ruger AR-556, PSA Blem, Radical Firearms, Anderson Utility Pro (RIP) , and Smith & Wesson M&P Sport III. Each rifle is tested at 100 yards using five different types of ammunition, including options from Hornady, Winchester, and AAC. We break down the group sizes for each ammo pairing, discuss how barrel specs and twist rates affect performance, and highlight which rifles deliver sub-MOA accuracy on a budget. All rifles were tested with a consistent setup using a Sig Sauer 3–18x44 optic and Magpul bipod to ensure fair comparisons. The results reveal some surprising winners and prove that even budget rifles can deliver solid performance with the right ammo. This video is a must-watch if you're considering an entry-level AR-15 or looking to get the most accuracy for your dollar. I am also not sure if it was mentioned or not, but this test was done independently of any of the companies that were featured. None of them were aware that this was happening.
