Actually that is a bushnell holosight. Not quite as substantial as the eotech, but less than half the cost also. I will probably add a Mako front vertical grip/tactical light adapter before it's over.

Oops. Eyes aren't what they used to be. I was a little curious as to why you were so excited about extra mags if it was sporting an EOTech. :-[

While I have no experience with the Bushmaster rifles, I have heard nothing but good things about them.  I do, however, love the S&W rifles.  I have the M&P 15T and have fired about a thousand rounds through it w/o a single malfunction of any kind.  Most of this was Wolf ammunition which not only functioned reliably but produced acceptable groups as well.  Really, you can't go wrong either way, so if you can't decide... buy 'em both!   ;D

Actually I'm gettimg the M&P 15 also next week. A buddy bought one in 06 and it has never been out of his safe. (that's just not right) He is going to sell it to me at the same price he paid. wooo-hoo! Unfortunately it is not the T.

Last month I had a chance to shoot a Bushmaster factory demo with Eotec site along with my personal Bushmaster with the Bushnell HOLOsite. Other than the incredibly sturdy armor on the Eotec, my eye detected no difference in the display. The Eotec will run longer, however, but I can live with that.

What this site needs is a little more porn. I finally finished my Bushmaster. Here she is.

I have a Colt and a DPMS that together cost less than the S&W. I can't see myself spending that much on an AR unless it was something out of the ordinary, like a stainless steel reciever.
