An AR is exactly what i spent it on. It was such a deal i just couldn't resist.
Brand new Bushmaster XM-15E2S with 8 magazines, heads up display red dot sight, a case, tactical sling, and 600rds of ammo for $800.00.
Makes sweet 1 hole shot groups at 25 meters. I haven't fired it at 100m yet, but it sure as hell seems to be no more than a 1 MOA shooter given the 25m dime sized groups it shoots. Truly amazing given the fact it's a totally unmodified rifle with a 16.5" bbl.
The rest of the thousand bucks is going to be spent on Hogue overmolded furniture (the forearm is free floating), an ambi safety and trijicon night sites (I LOVE the factory sights on A2+ AR/M-16s). I won't even use the red dot, i'll probably give it to my god son for the Ruger 10/22 i'm buying him (He's 11, it's his first gun)
