I put a Vortex Sparc red dot on mine. Price point was right at $199.00, and the reviews were all positive, and I'm here to tell you it's dead nuts accurate, and rugged.
The AR15's are just TOY guns!!! Good advice for AR15 owners -- put the little baby-round .223 BB-gun, non-stop-jamming-fragile-flimsy-AR15 away and get a REAL rifle with a REAL round like a rifle chambered for 7.62 and such as an AK rifle that is rock-solid RELIABLE and you can TRUST your LIFE with!! Folks, put the little 12-year-old-girl-AR15 rifles away and get a REAL rifle!!!
I clean my guns on that same Wally world tv dinner tray!! Haha what's the price tag on that bushmaster that model out here in Vegas is 900$ just don't know if that's reasonable I'm a pistol dude don't know alot about rifles .
@Pnutt5100 about $1100.00 i bought it during the hipe of the obama craze so prices wher a little jacked up then, i think. now i can get one here in Texas for $900.00 , i think thats about the norm brand new.
for some reason i cant find a video with a xm15-e2s optics ready. I own one. I have no iron sights. which is fine with me. i have an eotech 512 aa battery powered holo with a 4x magnifier on a flip to side base. Im looking for others that have different setups. I almost bought the Trijcon ACOG/red dot.
Very nice rifle. I purchased a Sharps Rifle Co. lower and I'm a little torn between building a battle rifle or a stainless 24" bull for touching way out there. Gota love iron sights man very fun to and cheeper on the empty piggy bank. call me nuts but I hate red dots. keep it irons it's not unrealistic to hit a center of mass at 600 yards. It's very tough and it doesn't happen every time but we've done it with even the WASR 10 AK. Stay safe man later.
great rifle. i have the same thing more or less. my rifle has a standard stock and no muzzle break. all in all a pleasure to shoot. gonna change out the handguards and put a new stock on it. but its a great gun. nice video.
@USpatriot88..when you first start shooting it, lube the heck out of the upper, clean the barrel after every 3 shot or so for the first few boxes (its a pain, but recommended for a new rifle). you're groups will get tighter until you run a hundred or so rounds through it (my best is .31 inch, 5 shots, 100 yds, smaller than a dime).
@bsrman36 ...heck yeah. there's no reason to drop $300-$1000 on a reflex sight if you know how to get a proper site picture quickly...i'll dump a full mag at 50 yds in about 20 seconds and cover all the holes with a milk cap....
Backburnerart, go get your bolt carrier properly staked, add an H2 weight buffer, and upgrade your bolt to a true mil-spec bravocompanyusa bolt. theyre about $60. The factory Bushmaster bolts are not mil-spec and can break.
Hey BB...nice choice on the BM rifle..there are many like it, but that one is yours..all BM are mill-spec..you GTG..upgrade your HG to four rails Pict and the pistol grip...w/ scope..go with w/ Eotech w/ magnifer..Your bayonet M7 will not fit properly that 16.1 barrel. Lug comes standard on all rifle...Colt are higher standrd and more value on re-sale..either one is fine..
Colt owner? Quit repeating garbage you read ten years ago. Unless you're a member of the military or law enforcement, you've never even seen what mil-spec looks like. Barrel 4150 chrome lined 1:9, plated upper. The parts that count in a civilian model are mil-spec. Everyone who ever tries to make that argument is trying to justify why they payed 2X the price. I own this gun, carried the real 'mil-spec' M-4 in Iraq. Just shot .33 groups with a Wal-Mart scope @100 yds with this one.
@cademere Check my channel I own a Bushmaster. Just because the barrel is 4150 doesn't mean milspec. Also, BM bolts are not shot peened or magnetic particle tested. They also do not have the proper M4 extractor insert per milspec. The barrel also is not hi-pressure tested and magnetic particle tested. BM gas keys also are not properly staked. I know my stuff man trust me. I wasn't trying to diss you, I too own a Bushy.
Those tests are quality control tests that were sold to the DOD as a part of a procurement contract and are now used as selling points in the civilian market to justify the price tag. Those tests just prevent impurities and imperfections in the metal of machined parts. High end hunting rifle manufacturers don't use them on finished rifles. We're arguing semantics. To me, "mil-spec" means that dimensions, materials, accuracy (.31-.44), performance (5000+ rnds), and quality are equal (or better).
If you believe that "mil-spec" means made in the same factory and went through the same amount of (sometimes unnecessary) testing, the the BM is not milspec.
@cademere Agreed. Usually unless the person is gonna be running carbine courses, and just generally shooting the piss out of the rifle most rifles will be fine. However for those that run their rifles hard, the extra QC steps can be worth it.
I have no problems recommending a Bushmaster, however if they're gonna run it hard, I recommend people to upgrade the bolt, and make sure the gas key is staked properly. BMs are also over gassed, so i recommend a heavier buffer as well.
that is a good gun. my dad had one he just sold this week. I wish he didn't but he needed the money just like in your situation. it's a great gun though. and I do think it is mil-spec. I never had issues with it. he had a crimson trace laser in lieu of a scope for home defense. I would recommend the Burris speed dot for it. I've shot an AR with that scope and it's nice but still a little pricey in my opinion. $200 I think. I have a Daniel Defense M4. Another great m4 as well.
So 750 new in box is a good deal or not it doesn't come with anything
