    Girlfriend got me an AR!!

    So we were looking at academy at lunch yesterday and I just mentioned that I liked a bushmaster we had the guy pull down, so she went back and bought it when I go back to work after lunch!!! It's a Bushmaster ORC 5.56 and I was wondering what you guys thought of it? I was completely not expecting her to do that and normally she wouldn't but, unknown to me, she just got her tax return.

    Oh, I think I'm gonna go ahead and marry her!!!

    I've not heard anything good about Bushmasters, but the girl is a keeper.

    I would say do what is mentioned in that thread and keep it since it was a gift, and start saving for a DD, BCM, or Colt.

    chicks normally do stuff like that before they tell you something bad they have done.....

    just kidding, my wife made me build her an AR after she fired mine she sounds like a keeper.

    these guys will all tell you to return it, but you could keep it and shoot it, and when you get another, which you will, let her shoot the bushy if she comes to the range with you. seems everyone that owns one ar, usually gets another. an another.

    Ignore what everyone says about the rifle, enjoy it as it is a gift. Also buy the bloody woman a ring, any girl that in touch with a man needs to be secured.

    This has got to be a joke.
    This is akin to me posting on a Harley Davidson forum how my Vespa rules the road

    My first major gift from my wife was a rifle. I love her more every day. Get on the ring buying asap!

    The bushmaster will be a good starter AR. Have fun shooting it, learn proper operation and maintenance, then get another one. No reason to buy a top of the line AR if you don't know what to do with it. Enjoy the gift and marry that girl.

    First off I want to say welcome to the forum. Second I want to say you're screwed now! You have the sickness. No turning back now. Thirty years from now when you are looking at your extensive ar collection you can thank your wife and this forum, and you'd be smart to marry that one like everyone had said.

    Bushmasters are generally considered a lower quality ar however the beautiful thing is that its your first and will make you fall in love with them. The Johnny go fast ones will come later. Everyone of them is an Investment. I will suggest that you do plenty of reading here and any questions you may have start with the orange search button at the top right of the page.
