This right here makes the choice easy for me. I refuse to ever buy anything Ruger has to offer, no matter how great it is.

Id opt for an AR for a bit more. Or get a Polish Tantel or any AK74 in 5.45x39. 1k rounds is $120 at AIM Surplus. They even have ARs in 5.45x39 and my buddy who has one definalty loves it. Good Luck with your decision

I'll never own a Ruger.
