I can't speak for the particular kit you bought, but I bought an Oly standard A2 rifle kit, with no upgrades for $479 about 6 months ago. The upper matches perfectly with my Mega lower, color wise and fit. The anodizing on the knobs of my rear sights is purple, and the handguard is kind of cheap looking with some slop, but it shoots better than I can see at 100yds., with Federal match ammo (iron sights). For $600 including shipping and ffl fees, I got a got a mean looking rifle that I love to fondle and shoots better than I can see. For my purposes (precision plinking, target, and hunting), I feel that I got exactly what I wanted for $200 less than the comparable BM option. I love it. If that kit shoots to your expectation, I would say you're doing alright. I have no regrets about my decision to go with Oly, and I will buy the PCR-1 upper to go with it as soon as I can afford it.
