I guess it is all a matter of taste.........colt, Bushmaster, RRA, Colt, Dpms, and etc all make good rifles.......another one to look at if you want to spend the money is www.jpar15.com.........I was down at my gun club when the owner was trying out a couple of his rifles, and they shot really good also..........I just put a JP trigger on mine yesterday, haven't been to the range yet, but, the weather is warming up next week..............
