I've been eyeballing Bushmaster's new .308 for a few weeks now. The local gun shop said they could get it for me for about $1000. I admit, I'm a bit of a gear junkie, and I've been seduced by the extra punch provided by the .308. I already have a Rem700 for those long shots but I need a good blasty tube in case I'm ever rushed by a gang of mutant watermellons or their Milkjug overloards.
I have searched and searched but I can't seem to find very many reviews of this weapon. I guess that is because it's so new. I've already got the green light from the wife to put it on layaway, but the last thing I want to do is later regret a $1000 impulse buy. The reason I've settled on the AR style is because I like the look and the light recoil (Sproing! ). I'm leaning towards bushmaster due to their reputation for making good AR style rifles and the numerous features built into their .308 like it's ability to accept fal mags, ambidexterous mag release, and so on.
