What do you guys think of the Ruger SR556 (or other piston AR's) for 3 gun?

I had the E model, 16", wasn't aware that they made a shorter version. I would steer you away from the FB, with the heavy quad rail. E model is nice and slim. Go check one out at the LGS if you can.
 
Seriously though, to the OP: If your goal is a competition gun I would suggest a DI gun. Daniel Defense is a good balance between quality and cost and they are very popular with owners.

The reason I say DI is simply about balance. The Ruger will always feel front heavy and it's just not as natural to bring up on target, or transition.

The reason I was defending the SR is simply because people like to poo all over a concept because it disrupts their delicate sensibilities. In truth, your score in comp will be 90% up to you, the 10% (maybe 2%) will be up to the AR you choose. AR's these days are that good. You can give me the top of the line Knight's and I would easily get beat by a pro with a Norinco, just sayin'. So if the SR is what you like, it's not going to hold you back!

I haven't seen the C model for sale up here.
