ronn,
Please excuse my ignorance but what is a bushmaster?
Thanx,
daddus1

bushmaster builds ar type rifles they are made in maine. its a black gun. this one weighs 3 lbs or so and has a carbon fiber reciever. also its stripped down. it doesn't even have the forward assist. sorry for the poor picture

speaking of black guns. bb, how do you like that build you did? was it an ak?

Looks pretty cool ronn. Is it a 223? That's a really light weight rifle. I was at the local dealer today looking at Stag arms. Not sure of the cal yet but I think I will be ordering a Stag built rifle at the end of this month. They are also USA built and do 80% of their machining. I'm thinking of a 6.8 cal as I won' be shooting a whole lot but it could be used for hunting a varity of game. Any experience out there on the 6.8 cal? Does anyone own a Stag built rifle?

yea its 223. stag has been around a while. Ive not seen/held one. these things jumped in price oh about a year ago for the life of me not sure why. did you see the remington? they have a stainless/camo at my local shop that keeps calling my name but its a little more than i care to pay. i look at these guns for the most part as guns built for rounds down range, which is the reason for a 30 round mag. thats why i went with the cheap ammo of the 223. this dpms 308lr one the other hand is built for a different reason. its heavy 10 lbs plus and very stable on the bipod

very serious looking. I won't be burning up ammo at the range so I like the in between 6.8. I see where barnes has a 120 gr bullet for the 6.8. If ... a person wanted to take it deer hunting it would do the job. Most likely this one will be near the bed. I'm thinking of a nice light and mid range green dot what do you think?

sounds good. that 6.8 is suppose to be a pretty good round. i like the green laser not sure what the green dot is. on my bushmaster its a red dot, laser, and light from bas. right around 100 has built in lens covers. even being a 223 i can't bring myself to burn ammo. just not my gig.

My next gun is going to be an AR that i can hunt deer with. Looking at 6.5 grendel or a 25 wssm. Any comments on which to go with would be appreciated.

didn't know they would come in those cal. i've thought about that 25wssm in a regular hunting rifle though.
