I am looking into getting an AR style rifle in .223 and would like your opinion. The Colt is is out simply because of price.
I have 3 options, the S&W M&P15, Bushmaster, or Stag Model 1.
Of these what do you think is the better one.

I'm not as good as I'm gonna get - but I'm better than I used to be. "Life without God is like an unsharpened pencil - it has no point."
im partial to bushmasters...i have an M4 style AR bushmaster...i havent had a problem with the bushmasters...
actually like them better than the military issued colt m16s...all the ones ive handled were SLOPPY...civilian models may be better (military gets their stuff from the lowest bidder as i was told in a ROTC class in college)

want the truth? they're all about the same. The only full in house AR's built today are built by Olympic Arms, the rest are parts house guns, they all buy parts from a vendor, and assemble them in house. I have a RRA that has shot enough bugholes to call it a 1/4" rifle, but I'm sure you could buy one just as accurate from J&T or Model 1 sales.
RR
What about Rock River Arms? The Bushmaster is a good one, but if you are a "fit and finish" kind of guy....look at the RR.

You did not state the use for the rifle. But if accuracy is your main concern then I would look real colse at the Rock River Varminter. Mine is scary accurate. I have owned several Colt's over the years, and I still have three in the vault. Two of them are the Delta Elite's, and they will not even shoot close to the RR. I also owned two Bush Master's. I was not happy with their accuracy so I got rid of both of them.
I never thought I would make an AR15 my go to rifle for the ground hog fields, but I have made my RR varminter my go to rifle for fields under 425 yards long. The rifle is almost automatic at that distance, and shooting double taps is a "HOOT". Tom.

We need to stop using these terms today, "Sniper Rifle", "Tactical", "Assault Weapon".
Accuracy is not my formost priority. I don't really want a heavy barreled version. I am strongly leaning toward the Stag Model 1 or the Bushmaster Model 4. I haven't ruled out a RR model yet. And I am in no hurry. Trying to get a feel for what you guys think is good.

Head, that's the exact gun that I have, with the addition of a 6 position stock. Your'e right...scary accurate!! My 7 year-old can hold a 1" group and loves it.
