I've had a Bushmaster for the last seven years, and have shot a lot of rounds out of it. I have not had a single problem at all. And have hunted with it a lot as well. It is an absolute tack driver...I woud probably get a tactical scope, as I absolutely love it. But that's just me and my opinion, but I don't think you would regret it.

Plus there's a reason why Remington would buy them, and it's not b/c they make bad guns.
