My vote is for the RUGER MKII. I have two barrels for mine. 1) the "slab side" or competition barrel - very accurate and 2) Pac-lite threaded barrel with a supressor. Both barrels shoot great. Its a really fun gun. Haven't tried any of the others mentioned but I love my Ruger.

Marswolf, havn't shot it for groups yet. Mainly it has been my 13yo daughter and 12yo son just having fun shooting it. We have one of the sniper training cubes from Ballistic Technologies. It is a 4" square cube of polymer that you throw on the ground and shoot. Every time you hit it, it flips and spins and it moves. You reacquire and shoot again. It is a lot of fun. We have had no problems hitting that with open sites at 30-50 yds. Once I put it on the bench I will let you know what kind of groups I am getting.

HA! HA! HA! HA! I love it....

I have the Bushmaster BAR 308 A2. This was my first AR and I love it. It is a blast to shoot. Haven't had any trouble out of it but I have only put a couple hundred rounds thru it. Good luck.
