AR-somethin' question...considering purchase..

I currently have two Colt HBar II's and a DPMS. I've had numerous Bushmaster's, but for some unknown reason don't have one right now. I know Cumpston has an exceptionally accurate Bushmaster Predator, and Jeff has had some very accurate Bushmasters. My HBar's are jaw dropping accurate for a short light carbine style (in the hands of folks that are better rifle shots than I am). The last time I checked the sighting on Hush Hush Sweet Charlotte with the suppressor attached, I fired a quick shot at the freshly painted gong at 100 lasered yards and then aimed at the bullet strike. The spot just grew a tiny bit and when I got down there the dimples were touching.

I have found that there is more difference between individual guns than between brands in the same quality and price range. If your not as big a stickler for short and light as I am, Look at the 20 inchers. I'm more likely to do a Keystone Cop imitation getting out of the truck in a hurry to shoot at a porker or a skunk than I am to bench rest shoot one. One thing that might be a consideration: Colts don't take the drop in adjustable triggers due to the sear block.
