For that amount of money you should be able to buy a Bushmaster 20" A2 (will be very much like the one you will shoot, just will be a pound heavier and won't have the evil features).
Another option is you buy a standard 20" Rock River Arms from Patrick Stanley of Shooting Sports (see his notice in the Good Deals section of the Maryland AR-15 Shooters Site). Sign up as a site member (its free and only takes a minute), then contact him and check into the deal. Less than $600 for a RRA AR-15 is a good deal, and should shoot VERY well. Plus it gives you money left over for a couple magazines and ammo. Should be a very good range rifle.
Quote from the Maryland AR-15 Shooters Site:
Patrick deals with all brands but his biggest line is by Rock River Arms. He will sell Standard A2's with single stage triggers to MD AR-15 Shooting Site members for $575 plus shipping to your FFL. Patrick can order any configuration you want.
