I used to hate AR's actually. the problem for me was a couple things first is nearly all the stocks feel like they are made for a midget, The other big thing somewhat unique to me is I like my optics mounted a tad higher than most people. So with an AR until the last 5 or 6 years there wasn't as many optics mounting options as there is now. So I use a longer stock like the RRA operator, and a scope mount that is a tad higher than most. With that the gun fits me now. before it felt awkward. maybe its a simple as finding the right fit for you.
The best turn key gun out there IMO is a RRA for a typical guy, a colt is a basic gun that is overpriced for what you get. There is so many great AR's now days that work. it wasn't always that way though. but times have changed. often a guy can through parts from alot of different manufacturers in a gun and it will run just fine.
