Never understood the hype behind these rifles...til I shot one last weekend. I got a chance to shoot my friend's Bushmaster AR-15 and it was a ton of fun. I knew then I had to get one. I spent the week searching forums, other sites, etc, looking for info and a good deal. I went to my local Academy to check out the options they had (Bushmaster, Colt, and S&W were the choices). While there I met two guys looking at a S&W Sigma. Chatted them up and waited til after they decided they were not interested in anything in particular at that store to let them know I was looking to sell my S&W SD9 to finance the AR-15 purchase. Let them check it out in the parking lot, and one asked if I was selling anything else. Sadly, I let my XD45 go as well, but I had plenty of $$$ to purchase what I was lusting after, as well as some ammo and pay for the scope I bought last week; both of them got great deals and I got my new AR-15. Nothing fancy, no "mods" planned save for a new grip, just lots and lots of rounds and practice.
Bushmaster was the right price and a great fit for me, IMHO.
Scope is a Barska 4-16x50mm illuminated Mildot, not too shabby for $100 shipped, and looks pretty darn good on the gun.
I guess now I'm in the black rifle club, and I will do my best to not go "mall ninja"...
