Bushmaster have built quite a name for themselves but don't count out the RRA and Armalite, they are both quality rifles that you may get a little better deal on price wise, just make sure to compare apples to apples, try to match the same models up against one another. It wouldn't be fair to compare a carbine type RRA to the Bushmaster Varminter in price, different type rifles. I think if you go with any of the three listed you will be happy with your choice. Enjoy the new rifle whatever the make and model.
