    New Bushmaster Carbon 15 w/bushnell red dot TRS25

    Hello,

    This is my first post (besides the DD number pick) Some day i will upgrade to a gun from the LT of the list, but for now here is what i picked up.

    I just picked up a BM Carbon 15 from Gander Mt, it was listed for $699, due to Santa giving me some gift cards I paid about $400 for it.

    It does have the Carbon upper and lower, it only weighs 5.1 pound w/o mag. It seems to be about the same material as the Magpul clips. BM says that it is a injection modled carbon 15 material.
    Seems to be very strong material.

    I shot 60 rounds through it in the back yard and it shot great.
    I wont be shooting 10,000 round thru it or any thing like that, mosty just a coon, small game and range gun.

    Ill try and get some pics soon.

    Here is what the BM web site says about it.
    Sugg. Retail Price: $749.00

    Congrats on the purchase!

    Please shoot some 100 yards groups with it and post the targets. I owned 2 of these and was not happy with the accuracy, and I am curious to know if BM solved that problem. Thanks!

    I am unclear here.
    What is your question or statement?
    This site is full of people with AR pattern rifles, mostly who come here for technical information or to pass on pertinent information.
    If you just want to show people your new purchase, there is already an estblished thread for that. If you want to stir up the members by avowing your love for sub-par equipment, please look elsewhere for your holiday entertainment.

    I'm fairly new here myself, but I found reading this thread very helpful before I post anything.

    In all seriousness, this isn't your normal firearms board and we strive for discussions of quality equipment. BM's overall track record isn't great, and their Carbon 15 guns have been problematic for many people that have tried them.

    I'm no expert, but I took my CCW course at a Holiday Inn Express
