bushmaster is a great manufacter of ar-15's, you wont find anyone better (though RRA is right up there with em). $700 is a great price too. Here's some questions for you. Is the carry handle detachable? Is this a post-ban or no ban rifle? Whats the flash suppressor on it? What kind of stock does it have? Little things like this can make a big difference on a gun.

haven't seen the gun yet i'll be going tonight to check it out just learned about it from a friend of mine and he's never seen it either so i'm really pretty blind on this the only thing that i know is it's supposed to be "like new" and it comes with the case so i have no idea what kind of accesories may be there i'll report back though as soon as i find out. what would be some key features to look for?? just trying to get a basic idea before i go. thanks again for any help

I believe an XM15E2S is the 16" Dissipator style Carbine. Jeep, does it look like this?
 *edit = >* Jeep, you posted again before I finished so I now know you have not seen the rifle yet. Doing a product search at Bushie' came up with that rifle above. Let us know when you see it if it is that rifle or not..... |

XM15E2S doesnt necessarily mean its a dissy. I do own a dissy, and that # is stamped on the lower, but my brother has a bushy that is not a dissy and he also has the same # stamped on the lower. To the orginal poster, if you can, take a picture of the gun and post it here, we could give you a lot more info then.

XM15E2S is just Bushmaster designation as far as I know, since they can't use AR15. My 20" is marked that way, I think any Ar platform made by Bushmaster that is an A2 config gets that designation.

If your going to buy an AR15 get a quote from www.knesekguns.com
I bought a Bushmaster M4A3 LE marked 16" step down bbl with six position stock for $880. If your in the $700 range your probably looking at a fixed carrying handle, with A2 flash hider, still with those features $700 seems a little cheep, make sure the gun is new and don’t forget to visit Knesek’s for a price range, Larry usually has the lowest prices around. Don’t buy a beginners gun, jump in head first, you want to have the bragging rights at the range  . Depending on fiances go with a detectible carrying handle, six position stock and a 16" bbl for the tactical feel. That should do you some good.

yep. welcome and bear in mind the A2 (permanently attached carry handle) is about $100-$130 less than the preferred A3, detachable carry handle, flat -top) - A3 version Bushmaster is pretty good , too |

the xm is just a ar15 variant.
does not mean jack other than its an ar15 made by bushmaster. but from what i have seen $700 for even the lowest model no frills ar from bushmaster is a pretty decent price. unless of course if its the carbon15 or one of their pistols |

Since this is an introductory AR, Bushie, Armalite or RRA are great starter guns. I would stick with a standard A2 full length or carbine without all the fancy jazz like removable carrying handles and such. If you get hooked you are gonna want another anyway. You'll gain a lot of good experience and respect from being able to shoot a normal AR with straight irons. Once your firmly hooked.....buy a Colt.
