Thanks to my wonderful bride, I have the Ruger. I haven't had the chance to fire it yet, but I will report back as soon as I do.

How difficult was removing the A2 sight? If I get one I was thing about a free floating hand guard, but I read some reviews that said it was a beast to remove it to install the guard. (just curious)

I am also looking for my first AR I was back and forth between the Ruger and the S&W M&PT. I think I'm going to go with the Ruger, but only because of the price differential. I am also curious about other's opinions on them, I have read a lot of on line reviews and have handled them in the store, but haven't fired either. I haven't looked at the Bushmaster, but I haven't heard any bad things about it.
