Well i just got back from cabelas. I have been looking for a varmint gun for a while. Never really thought about an AR till recently. I went to cabelas originally thinking i was going to buy the stevens model 200 package, but i decided to look at some ar's first. I held a few different ones, but i really liked the bushmaster orc. So i ended up buying it and could not be happier! Came home and me and my dad put on a bsa red dot scope and it is awesome! I just turned 18 on the 24th of this month so this was my first gun purchase! love this gun. What do you guys think? i heard bushmasters are top notch so i was pleased. will post pics on monday

Just finished off my second 1000 round case of 5.56 through my bushmaster with no malfunctions.

ya its good to hear positive stuff bout the bushmasters. Really excited.
Tony, I picked it up for $899.99. out the door with tax and all it was about $970.00.
Big investment, but already worth it to me. might have pics tomorrow. But i'll have them up asap

Nice rifle... now, take that BSA red-dot off and get something that's going to hold up for more than a few hundred rounds... Ultradot, Bushnell Trophy red dot, etc.

shaneman153D · « **Reply #22 on:** March 01, 2010, 02:32:48 PM »

Sweet boomstick! But I would definitely put some diff glass on it (unless you're shooting shot range)

WildfireArcher · « **Reply #23 on:** March 01, 2010, 02:46:57 PM »

ya i just put that scope on it so i could go shoot it some. Cuz it doesnt have iron sights, and i have no money left for a good scope yet...spent it all on the gun

I hear ya!

A low-power variable (1.5-5x20 is what I have on my DPMS AP4) is about perfect. It's great for close-in work, as well as reaching out a bit.

If you're looking for a great low-cost scope, check out a Vortex Crossfire. They're damn good and have a really good warranty on them.

Hey straight shooter, how do you like that gun/scope combo for yotes?
