Nice… I am now a member of AR-15.com.
Up North there you must have some long distance places to shoot. Down here nothing 
I would love to shoot distance but can’t anywhere around here. 100 yd max.
My environment would rarely require much further distances.
I prefer highend firearms most of the time and between my collection and my Fathers I now have 30+. Whatever I had he had the better nicer version.
I got the Bushmaster because I could and felt damn lucky to get it. I even got around 360 rounds.
I have never had the desire for a AR platform rifle as I have only been a hunter and personal use carrier. With rifles I do not think I have ever fired twice in a row while hunting. That is why I never thought about military style weapons.
Now I have a wife and family and am really worried where our Country is headed. I wanted to make sure I had something with a little more firepower before the Commies in place now tried to ban them.
My main worries is not against our gov but against the scumbags that come out in times of National or Natural disaster.
My personal choice would likely be something like the photos above " LWRC and Danial Defense" but I had to take what I could get. I like the power of the second one for sure.
I think I am going to have a lot of fun learning about this type of weapon as my foot heals. I would like a light and optics but i am going to learn on mine the way it is before adding anything. For now my Weatherby 270mag and Swarvorski can reach out there if need be. Spelling likely all wrong there 
The tax stamp issue is a little confusing as I hear that the gov can just stop by whenever they want for a looksee and then I hear from others they cannot.
All my weapons are stored in real heavy duty steel safes that one man cannot move but i have no idea of what plastic can do. I doubt anything can stop a pro from getting your stuff if they want it.
Right now my last urgent concern is I get the 12 mags I have ordered. At least then I will feel I am some what prepared for worst case scenarios where it is me protecting my wife and daughter. Those 2 firearms above sure would be nice to have 
Fully auto or burst has never been something I wanted " I do not think I could aim as fast as they could shoot" but a suppressor sure could have its advantages.
Any advice on a good bag that could hold the bushmaster and 12 mags with a link wold be greatly appreciated. I want at least a shoulder strap.
I am a little confused with the different attachment systems for vests and bags as i have no real tactical experience. I like the 5.11 bags but how would I secure the mags? I would prefer them be inside with the rifle but if need be would attach a separate bag to the case if it can be done. It looks as it is designed to hold attachments on the exterior but I cannot tell I cannot tell by the pictures.
