I have a Colt Match Target AR that I like very much. It's a post-ban model, without a flash suppressor with a 16" barrel and a fixed A2 style handle. I am looking at another .223 since I like to keep my ammo selection consistent. I know AR's are generally more accurate, but a new style M14 tactical (standard stock and flash suppessor) with a 20 round mag can be had for $650 delivered, and three extra 30 round mags will cost me $130, so I can have the new gun with the 3 extra factory 30 round mags for less than $800, while a Bushmaster, Stag, or DPMS AR will run me closer to $1000. Only real plus side is I can use the many AR mags I already have for my Colt with the new one.
I am not a competitive shooter. I have owned my Ar for 10 years, and there is maybe 3000 rounds through it. I'm not ever selling the Colt, but it would be nice to have a post-ban gun without paying $200 more for a low-end AR.
On the other hand, my friend has a Bushmaster he is very happy with.
Only other downside is I will have to sell something to get the new gun. I have a Mossberg 930 about to be sold, and I am considering selling a 4" GP100 as well. I have a S&W 686, so the Gp is kind of redundant. Then again, I have three Beretta 92's and won't be selling any of those!
