What is mounted right behind the EOTech?
its a lower 1/3 mount for the Eotech....likely this
LaRue Tactical EOTech QD Mount LT-110
or a knock off.
To the OP if you want a top quality AR...your choices will center around
Colt, BCM, DD, LMT, Noveske...the others on that list are off par with these.
If you just want something to take out and shoot....pick whatever makes you and your wallet feel good and enjoy it! There is no wrong answer here...just figure out what you want. Keep in mind another option is that you can always by a Spikes or other rifle now, and in the future buy a quality upper from one of the above manufacturers. I mention spikes only because I know of several people who have done nice builds with Spikes lowers and BCM, etc uppers. Off topic, but Spikes stripped lowers can be had for around $70 bucks right now.
(FWIW. There are some manufacturers in your list I would run away from like the plague. In the interests of not getting anyones panties in a wad...I'll refrain from naming them. But do a little homework first. I'd suggest Rob Sloyer's comparison threads on m4carbine.net or tacticalyellowvisor.net)
