Cabelas Black Friday Ad

(1/2) > >>

y0diggity:
Have you seen this year's BF ad for Cabelas? Out here it has a Bushy with a red-dot sight on top for $599. I'm brand new to the AR thing but just want one for varmint shooting and plinking. Can anyone tell me if this would be a decent rifle for that? I'm really not looking to modify it or drop a bunch of cash into it later. I just want a reliable, pretty accurate rifle for prairie dogs and coyotes.

It's a pretty good buy for an AR, at least at today's inflated AR prices.  Bushmaster has a good product (TX DPS trusts it).  Note it does not have front or rear sites.

I saw that, but with the red-dot, wouldn't that be pretty decent? I would also put a 3x9 or something similar on it - just a reasonably priced, reasonably accurate gun for prairie dogs and coyotes and the like.

Here's a clip from the ad, for those who may not have seen it -

If I remember right from last year the bushmaster has a carbon lower.  Something that's a big deal to some but not to others.

Yes it does. In fact, I think that's part of the name. Like a carbon 16 or something. Is there a particular reason that the carbon lower is undesirable?
