They shouldn't be too bad I would think. They have a lot of black rifles to compete with.

1) It really is a totally ambidextorus weapon with two charging handles.
2) The gentleman from Magpul who was in the Bushmaster booth was a joy to talk to and answered every question we had for him. He was proud of his "baby". I wish I could say the folks at FN or HK were as nice.
3) I thought the rifle would feel cheap but I was dead wrong. It was nicely balanced, lightweight and felt solid.

Bad news, it would not be available till early 09. I believe it was going to list for about $2K. I think I'll end up saving for one.

Also, anyone else notice the price jump :P...just a few weeks ago it was gonna be $1500. Hope there is not a new ban before they are released
