was looking at the bushmaster carbon 15 97s, has anyone had any experience with one of these? thanks

I had 2 of the BM carbon fiber rifles. One fed and other did not, but BM fixed the one that did not. Both rifles could shoot about a 12 inch group at 100 yards when wearing a 3-9 Leupold. I did not find that satisfactory.

Mine has never failed to fire. Reliable as all get out and easy to carry around the property while the carbon makes it practically care free. I'd recommend it to anyone.

Bust most of all I love mine because it's a blast to shoot, and quite accurate when scopped. I now have a laser reddot combo on it and it hits whatever I aim at.

Yes. They are suitable for lightest, recreational use only. They are not suitable for serious, defensive, or high intensity use. Keep expectations low to minimize disappointment.

skintop, can you please expend on you comments? Why for lightest use only?

Where can i find a nylon case for it. i know blackhawk makes covert ones but i don't really want to spend $100 on one. i spent $100 total for 2 5.11 cases. one for my .308 and the other was a double for my M4 and 870.

It's usually a surprise when they work, and they don't like to be run hard.

So, I should stay surprised then because mine works flawlessly. Also, lets quantify hard as I've ran a couple of hundred rounds through mine, at a time and in semi-auto mode, and have had not a single hick-up.

That's NOT hard use, by any stretch of the imagination.
