The Vulcan guns are known for destroying their gas-tubes in short order, along with bolts and bolt-carriers, and are also known for receiver galling and stretch. Avoid if possible.

Looks like they are DEL-TON DTI-4 carbines on that AIM site, for a little under $700. Don't know anything about them, but it makes me suspicious...
There are AR kits out there which are around $450-500 and you could get stripped lowers for $100-150.
You could just get an old surplus rifle like the Russian Mosin Nagant, with the matching sniper scope. Probably get it for $400, it's a collector, shoots great, has surplus 7.62x54 ammo everywhere, and has big rifle bang.
Or new I'd probably look at a Savage with the Accutrigger. Really top notch out of the box, IMO.
