Local newspaper has a classified ad for the above rifle @ $650. This rifle has had 500 rds. through it. Included is one 30 rd. magazine, case and sling. Is this a good deal, what is the price for this used weapon assuming an excellent finish?

My AR10 needs a little brother , and I've wanted to build an M4gery.

Thanks in advance for any help.

I'd say that a pretty fair price for a nice used Bushmaster.  If you can talk him down to $600, that's even better!

I think the cheapest you'd find a new one for is about $750...I'd start by offering $600.

I had this same model rifle advertised over in the equipment exchange for $650 a few weeks ago...
Bushmaster XM15E2S 20" HBAR target rifle...
Has about 1500 rounds through it...
(They seem to shoot best after 500+)

The ad generated very little interest, so I just decided to keep it instead...
I could never replace it for $650...
It's one of my best shooting AR's...

Hell, if I had seen it, I might have bought it!

But I can't now...just ordered a pre-ban Bushy 16" M4 upper this week

You can buy a brandnew 16 inch V-Match here for $780.00.

I paid $700 for my Bush 15-XM2 w 16". I beat the local new price by less than $100. This was before I got  n2 this web site and became more informed. I don't regret the purchase. The gun was and is very clean and I see new ones that are not any cleaner than mine. Gun prices seem to be regional. You guys out west seem to get better prices than I see locally (So. Fl) I see postings that interest me, but have a problem sending money to a name on the web for a product unseen.
