I was wondering about the Ruger myself since the price seemed reasonable and i plan to purchase an AR-15 very soon, I will pass on the Ruger. Looks like i will set out tomorrow and try to find a S&W M&P sport.
Online for $529!
I agree on the polymer lower option, I didn't think about that. That damn Scotch sellin' me short again. 
But I think a build-your-own is a better option in the longrun, personally, unless you're looking for resale value. But I don't build ARs to resell, only to fill my safe and enjoy the fun and satisfaction of building my own.
The setup Nikat posted from FBT is a damn good starter rifle with tons of options for customization, but is a basic, perfect first AR, IMNSHO.

You really can't go wrong building one from FatBoy. They have a ton of options and the prices are excellent.
Warning...
Beware of AR snobs and local gun shop fanboys unless you have more money than sense.
Why spend more on a frankengun with no warranty and usually lower resale, or a boutique rifle just for the prestige, when a $500 rifle will meet your needs.
Nothing particularly wrong with frankenguns if you can get one priced right, or an expensive big name AR if you NEED or really, really just want one, but don't fall for something you are paying too much for in this buyer's market for AR rifles.
BTW, most of the best deals are found online. That's just the way it is.

today I chose the S&W. Could have saved a while and bought a Colt but for range fun and light use I'd rather use my money looking for optics, ammo, mags. Might build the next one.
So GED did you decide? I wanna know what I will be seeing in the classifieds next month!
Now that's funny right there. lol
I got a package from GED on my desk right now... but that's a good point, I'ma keep my eyes on the Classies. lol
If only there were a shop in Oklahoma that was competitive with online dealers......
