Just bought a Bushmaster and am very pleased with it. I chose it over the others for several reasons: uses cheap (like $5.00 each) and available stock FAL mags, has ambidexterous safety, mag release, and bolt release, no latch on bolt handle, very accurate, and Bushmaster quality. Got the 20" barrel and the Ace stock and haven't had a single problem yet. I have a couple Bushmaster AR-15's and have never had a single problem on either so I anticipate the same quality on the 308. Liked the Armalite but the mag issue is a hassle and expense. Same with the DPMS.
