Following is the link to the thread on AR15.com, and the Summary of the thread: The Ideal Rifle
http://www.ar15.com/content/articles/idealRifle/
Summary
The "ideal rifle" as described above is an AR-15 with a short (14.5 or 16) lightweight or M4-contoured barrel with 1/7 or 1/9 twist (latter preferred), flash hider, M4 collapsible stock, A1 carry handle receiver (with A2 aperture). Options can include illuminated optical sight and a weapon-mounted light.
A scope can re-balance a front-heavy rifle (caused by tactical light).
This configuration gives the greatest flexibility under a variety of conditions, and performs its duties as well as or better than any alternative.
The need for self defense under unpredictable geography, weather, and conditions is common to every military force. It is also common to police forces and anyone interested in "survival."
A large portion of the world’s armies has adopted the AR-15 in its various forms, and currently police departments throughout the world are making the switch.
The U.S. military, perhaps the best equipped Army in the world has recently begun deploying it’s new generation rifle to it’s forces: an AR-15 with a collapsible stock, short barrel, and optical sights where appropriate.
Millions of dollars on research and development have been spent to find the "ideal rifle" and the AR-15 has once again risen to the top.

I felt pretty good about choosing a Bushmaster Dissipator A2 before I ever found the article!
I'm still glad I have that rifle.
