Not a bad price... and remember, like Don Davis says, ""It's better to own a gun and not need it than to need a gun and not own it."

I don't think you get screwed at all. Was that before sales tax, or all told?
$800 out the door for a Bushmaster doesn't seem like a bad price at all. You could perhaps find it somewhere else for 750 or even a little less, but then you'd have to pay shipping and an FFL transfer fee. So, you might have been able to save a few bucks if you'd looked around, but I don't think you would have saved a lot. Plus, when you get the URGE - I'm willing to pay a little extra to have it RIGHT NOW. I also think the LEO markings are kind of neat - since they are from a bygone era, and manufacturers will stop stemping them that way now. |

As long as you bought the whole rifle and not just the lower, you did good. ETA:
You did good.

It's not my first, I bought a 20" Colt 10+ years ago. Then a HK91, Mini 14, pistols, shotguns, etc etc. My wife and I decided to have kids, so that effectively ended my firearm adoption program. But the wife has eased up on the 'non-essential' purchase LAW she proposed, voted, and enacted while I was at work (so I had no vote).
Anyway, fun times ahead! |

Bushmaster has a pretty high retail, but their street prices are usually quite a bit lower. Still, 800 seemed to be pretty close to the going rate for postan NIB, so that is a good deal. Get out and enjoy it.

Bushmasters are like $750 wholesale so $50 profit for the guy is not unreasonable.

You got a decent deal.
And ignore the asshats trying to rain on your parade. I have an XM15E2 A3 lower with a Rock River chrome-barrelled upper (postban) and it's a great shooter. I paid the same for mine, and I built it from parts. The only advantage to building a gun is you can take your time ordering parts as you can afford them so as to lessen the financial burden a bit. And anyway, like DK-Prof said, when you're ready to buy a gun, does it really matter if you could have saved a few bucks if you would have shopped around first? ETA you would not have found a better deal at a gunshow, at least not any of the gunshows around here!  |
