I'm on the fence on which AR-15 to purchase. The SW S&P Sport 2 or the Ruger 8529. I plan on using it for home defense and plinking. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Sean, either would be plenty for home defense and plinking. They are equal in quality and features so it would basically boil down to which catches your eye cosmetic wise. Decisions, decisions. I would personally go with the Smith simply due to it's longer AR history.
