' BUSHMASTER AR- 15 / XM -15 E2 S REVIEW

Its ES2, not E2S

Thanks Brudda

Excellent video, thank you very much!

Nice video, great gun and info….didn't like the whistling though.

Yes its a 1/9 twist, I should have got it in a 1/8 0r even a 1/7 twist. so you can fire the heavier 69 and 72 gr. rounds. not advisable with the 1/9 twist. the heavier grains will get you an extra 100 to 150 yds.

Is your barrel 1/9 twist?

Pump " gun "

The whole carrying handle and scope strip off with the turn of two quick realese screws, and then flip up rear ghost ring.this weapon is for long distance applications. if i was doing a sweep and clear or entry work. I would use my A-4 with iron sight and my mod. 29 pump for back up. with 3" flachett rounds in the pump gum.

What kind of scope is that?? How can you shoot (aim)?
With M16A2 I kept for iron sight, not much you can do with thi model. If with the flat top is a big different stories and in the battle field, Are you carry a gun like that and shoot…scope like that will lose 0 FOR SURE if you fight in Vietnam (Only OK in shooting range in the USA)

@brentftw1 Thank you for shopping at Wal-Mart.

I have the same Bushmaster & have loved it for 8 years. The quality is second to none! I opted for a shorter less powerful scope with no risers & have no parallax problem, yet it still fires tight groups at 100 yds. Scope dismounts in seconds from handle, but can fire through sights easily w/ scope mounted. I prefer the original AR-15 carry handle design for functionality. I get my "Picatinny-lated", light, laser, forearm kicks with S&m MP 22! Great Review of TOP SHELF Quality.

Great Video very SEXXY Rifle I orderd mine through DPMS on 04/20/2011 and I'm still waiting for it real bummer.

Id want an A3 style flat top for more flexibility for sights.

Kool stuff

nice. appreciate the info

you said clips instead of magazines

if you mount some leapould see thru rings on your flat top…they will get you over the fixed sight..they worked for me..3 set of rings later.lol but i have no view at all of the sight in my optic now!

Dude! you forgot to change your shirt after you broke out of county jail! FLMAO

My AR has a 16 inch bull barrel from dpmsinc.com. Trying to decide what size of scope that I want, but I am not very knowledgeable in this field.

you should get lower height rings mate

Are you telling me you shoot M855 as plinking ammo cause that's what your gun works best with?

@polarbear959 yes u can, u need a gas block and a flip up sight. the gas has a pictinny rail on it. I would try a scope on your flat top and see if the front sight is visible through the scope, i have a fixed front sight and a scope on a flat top and it works great, cannot see the front sight through the scope. My rifle is a Bushy DCM rifle 1-8 A3

i mount my leaupold rifleman scope directly on the flat top pictinny rail, and i have a fixed front sight assembly. the fixed front sight does not interfear with the line of sight, i cant even see it through the scope. i thought that would be an issue but it wasn't. Bushy DCM

sweet, i own a bushy DCM 1-8, 1'' heavy barrel, it prints .5 to 3/4'' at 100 meters, leaupold rifleman scope. 75grn hornady's with 24.5 grn of varget, all day long

50 yard scope btw.

Regarding the paralex issue I have the same model, kept the detachable handle stock and purchased a rock river arms "quick release" V style mount for scopes. It is 2 flatheads if you want to really wrench it down or you can have it hand tight, and pop your iron sights on if the situation presents itself. The V style mount elevates it slightly, not as much as yours is, and I can only see my front sight at minimum focus, and then barely. Another way to go, works excellent, looks sexy. 70 dollars.

@nowthisis2stupid And yes, I have owned a Bushmaster XM15 and the fit and finish was absolute crap. and you like I said I am not trolling just trying to help you out. You can buy a 1" riser from Famous Maker for 15 dollars and use the same scope rings you are using now. And even if you mounted that scope riht on the reciever the even at 6X magnification it would cancel the front sight out, Just trust me, But I suggest the riser anyways.

I don't want to be a troll sir but maybe a little more research was needed before stating somethings on this video. Not all AR-15 rifles are the same and I hate to say it but you payed way to much for this rifle. And not to get into a big drawn out affair here but I have a CMMG 14" with permanent fixed flash suppressor and fixed front sight base and I use a bushnell 1.5-4.5 banner dusk &dawn scope one a 1" riser and on 1.5 power the front sight does show up the crosshair are above it. continued-

@protraxion Ouch!

there are lots of risers available for flat tops that aren't as high as the carry handle rides and yet are unobstructed by the front site. just sayin'. i know this video was from a year ago.

nice i like the m4a3 and the rock river entry tactical too

Nice system. And a good video presentation too…

scope is way to high to be comfortable

og to J&T Distributers and you canget full parts kit thats everything but the lower. depending on the lower you can build them for about $600

urg im lookin for an ar15 kit

how much did it cost?

With the scope mounted right on the rail without the carry handle you could just use higher scope rings.

Good review man. Helped me out alot.

I have Rock River standard A4 with the removable carry handle 20" barrel and it has the same front sight haven't mounted any scope on yet but looks like I'll have the same problem I'll have to dig it outta the safe and look, does anybody know if you can remove the front sight and just put a buis flip up…?

why dont u try lower rings

what state are you in i am in STL mo and they are charging about 90.00 for 100 rounds of cheapo wallmart 223..

looking to buy 1 myself.thanx for posting this vid.

Great Vid. I got the M4 version of the xm-15 with UTG handguard,512 EOtech reflex scope, MOE Magpul buttstock, and pistol grip, combat latch,with a G2 surefire light with the weapon mount. Quick question. Have you had any problems with wolf 5.56 ammo in your bushmaster? I've had problems with it and now refuse to use it. I have a friend with the exact same model that fires wolf with no problem.

Great Video man , thanks for sharing.
