This topic has been discussed a lot lately. I will say ArmaLite. Quality, fit, finish are excelent. I am partial to ArmaLite. Not to say Bushmaster is bad. Get one of both! Problem solved.

When faced with the same dilemma, I got one of each. Armalite's w/ a 20" barrel set up for longer distances. Bushmaster w/ 16" barrel set up for shorter distances. Happy w/ both. Can't say a bad word about either.
Short answer: You'l be happy either way. |

pretty much the same quality rifle anyway you go. Armalite does have a better warranty. Both have good service. For the money i'd go armalite.

Do most gun stores carry both? I want to know the same thing. A lot of my local stores carry one brand or the other.

Quoted: Do most gun stores carry both? I want to know the same thing. A lot of my local stores carry one brand or the other. I got both of mine from the same store, albeit at different times. Sadly, they'll be the last I'll get to buy here in CA. Anyway, I think most people will agree that if your local store only has one or the other, you'll be happy regardless of which one you get. |

"Tastes great"
"Less filling" Both are excellent. ArmaLite has better finish and fit, and a lifetime warranty. Buy one of both- you won't be unhappy. I prefer ArmaLite, but that's just me. Both brands have very strong brand loyalty among their customers, hence the partisanship on this forum. |

Depends on what you like. Armalite makes pretty collector guns, Bushmaster makes weapons. You can't go wrong with either, but for my money Bushmaster is the better value.

I apologize about bringing up one of "those" subjects, but I appreciate the responses.
I would definitely like one of each, but unfortunately that damn money tree has sprouted yet! Can someone tell me what the Armalites M15A2s are selling for? I see Bushys for around $725-$750, but haven't found any prices on the Armalites. |

They are both nice. I've spent the week shooting both and today I bought an Armalite. Something about the green furniture. Oh, and the groupings!
