That is pricy for a gun you can't get ammo for. If I was wasting money at Gander I would ask for a thousand round guarantee before I bought. Bushmasters are available used all over.
I bought one at Walmart a few weeks back for 900.00 just to keep in the truck. I like it. I keep one close all the time along with a few hundred rounds of ammo. It shoots nice. I have several ar-15's my favorite is my SIG 516 with a EOTECH 512 sight. I think its a good choice of gun just a little high priced.
