I had one for a while. Best shooting AR ive ever had, and a super neat gun that gets a LOT of attention anywhere you take it. I didnt like that it was a 1:9 twist barrel, and that Bushmaster never came out with any of the caliber conversion kits. I got heavily into .300 AAC for a while and had intentions of registering that gun and doing a few short barrels, but being that nothing ever came out, I lost interest in the over priced AR that looked super cool and got some other guns. For what it is, its bad ass, and I think it is better than a SCAR, but then looking at both of them, they are just fancy overpriced ARs and only cool if you want a neat looking gun. Neither can really do anything special or better than a DI AR15.
