I rememebr you talking about that one in the past, have you tried any good ammo in it yet?

Yea, its a dud. Only thing I haven't tried is reloading for it. And fireforming the cases.

RE: feedback on bushmaster

Thinking of sending back to bush. I have looked over everything and can't find anything that sticks out. Part of me is not worried as I bought this gun to put my EOtech on and blast away M193. But then again, you want it work the way it should work. I might get back to looking it over and diagnosing some issues.

Does it have fatory irons? If so how's te windage adjusment? Bushmaster did have a run of rifles/caqrbines where te barrels were incorrectly installed, from what I've heard, they'll correct the problem if sent back.

I've thought of getting a DPMS in .308, but I believe that the .223 would be funner to shoot... cheaper, and easier on the shoulder.

If it was me I'g go with the Rock River as well. I have a buddy with the Bushmaster Predator, and I can outshoot with my CAR A4 Rock River with any ammo I put in it. He also had to send his back to Bushy, as when he got it, it was a single shot.

In fact, I was out this evening checking crops, and I was busting jackrabbits out to 300 yards with my A4 no problem.

Hehe! I would love that! Theres a whole bunch of people sayin the rock river is better... I went to the gun shop today and asked them about the rock river. Says they are way more accurate than bushmasters. They didn't have any for me to look at though...

RE: feedback on bushmaster

Rock Rivers are few and far between right now. They are very hard to come by. I had some parts ordered from them to build another upper, and I gave up waiting an cancelled the order. I found the parts from a Rock River dealer online and got 'em in 3 days from him.

Check out this website for some of the best prices you will find on Rock Rivers:

Steve is a pleasure to do business with, and if his items are in stock you will have them in a few days on your doorstep. I've ordered 3 Rock Rivers from him now, and as soon as he gets in what I'm looking for, there will be another one coming from him.
