Great rifle! I never worry about whether or not the ammo I run is too cheap for it. It shoots everything reliably and straight. Glad I bought it.

I love this weapon. I haven't shot too many other examples of an AR, but of what I have tried, this performs admirably for it's price range. I was impressed at the accuracy with iron sights. It takes a bit to get them dialed in, but once they are set, its a nail-driver. My favorite Buds purchase, thus far.

This review is about Bud's not the 90289. As a first time purchaser from Bud's I was somewhat worried due to negative reviews/complaints about Bud's promptness shipping orders and contacting Bud's. In my case, Bud's had a good price and I ordered on a Sunday evening. The rifle was shipped the following Tues evening, 1-1/2 business days and was received on the east coast the following Friday morning. The product was factory new as advertised.
In case you are worried as I was, I can attest that all turned-out fine with my first order. I did not have occasion to contact Bud's since there were no issues.

I wanted a quality AR, and that is definitely what I got. After a thorough takedown and reassemble I was definitely impressed by the Bushmaster XM15. While the carry handle is a no no for many AR fans I preferred it, as it gives the weapon a bit more of quintessential AR style. That being said, if you don't like the carry handle it is removable unlike earlier models which I believe were fixed. The sights are very good. They are more than sufficient after adjustment for range, hunting or home defense. Came with a 30 round PMAG. This is a great AR that will compliment any collection and I definitely recommend it. Buds price and service continues to be excellent.

Love this rifle! Only fired a couple hundred rounds through it to this point, but love everything about it.

What can one say it s a AR15 and has so many uses. As said before I have the briefcase carry for it and use it sometimes. Very useful in alll sorts of ways for protection, hunting and chasing off pest in the yard. I will have one in another caliber or so very soon. Very versatile gun!

Bought this rifle on 3 months layaway as I was sure with all the anti gun nuts that they would try and some how have it restricted or banned. Rifle arrived after 3 or 4 days to my FFL dealer would have arrived a day sooner but we had a snow storm. After unboxing it was nicely impressed with it. I got a pmag with mine not a metal mag, that was nice! Also has a bayonet lug / M203 launcher Under the barrel, very nice!! Did a good cleaning to remove the residue from them test firing and it’s all good to go, already replaced the simple handgrip with a picany rail and handle, put a flip up sight on the rear . This gun comes as a very basic standard rifle so you can upgrade what you want to make it your own personal rifle. Don’t get me wrong this is exactly what I wanted! I have yet to fire it but rest assured I will post an update after I do. Just waiting on the 1000 round to arrive in a few days, also bought 500 m885 Green tip steel core ammo to keep Incase it’s needed. Got 6 extra pmags and a single point sling also comming. Service was great though buds! Ordered my wife a Christmas pistol last year worked out great too! Will keep ordering though buds, just wish they would do 6 months layaway for the more expensive guns as regular working folks can’t shell out a lot of money for nice guns with out breaking the bank! But all in all a 5 Star! Will update after I put a few hundred rounds though it! Thanks Buds!!

Very Good no problem shooting it.

I ordered a Bushmaster because, frankly, I wanted a Bushmaster. With the delays in processing and shipping, I was forced to wait anxiously for an extended time to receive the rifle; however, it came and it was flawless. I cleaned the rifle and hit the range only to be disappointed. The rifle itself is fine, but it looks like the folks at Bushmaster are really in a hurry to get the rifles out the door. The front sight post was cranked all the way out. It did not fall out, but only a few clicks left. The rear aperture was loose. These issues aren't really big deal, but I hope they are not precursors to other quality control issues. Now that the rifle is on paper, I will enjoy blowing through the ammo. ARs are just plain fun!

A fine weapon at a very good price.

This is the Bushmaster Patrolman Model 90289. Walmart sold this model for $1,150 a few years back. You can't beat Bud's price for this weapon. I liked the first one so much that I purchased a second one from Bud's highly recommend. Comes with factory ghost ring sights. This Bushmaster model is nearly identical to the M16 issued to me in the 70s by the Army. Shoots spot on without a scope with 2 inch groups open sights at 25 yards. In my opinion, this is the best all around Bushmaster for the price. Functions flawlessly. Highly recommend that you get one of these.

I recently purchased a Bushmaster Xm-15 A2 from Buds Gun Shop. Couldn't be more satisfied with the product AND quick delivery to my local FFL dealer. I'm going to be a member of Buds for life, more business will definitely be on it's way!

This purchase is the second AR I have bought from Bud's and the 6th weapon all together. In all cases, Bud's has done an outstanding job in the purchase and delivery process. As for the weapon itself, hey, it's a Bushmaster. I've only had it for two weeks and have taken her our for a spin once. Put 120 rounds down range with no issues. Aesthetically, I will admit that my S&W Sport has, in my opinion, a nicer finish, but that really is of no consequence to the bottom line - this AR works and works well. The rifle came with one metal 30 round mag. I would have been happier with a polymer mag, but I have enough of them to get over this too.

I received rifle no problems. Chrome line bolt carrier and barrel. Mine shipped with P Mag. Built in Alabama. Excellent deal for under 800.

Transaction was perfect. Had the rifle in less than a week. Just took it out to the range and it works perfectly. Had to adjust the sights a little bit. Got the $50 Bushmaster rebate which helped. Overall very happy. Bud's is awesome and so is this rifle.

Although I had some initial problems with the gun, I am now very happy with it. When I first tried to fire the weapon it malfunctioned and I could not manually discharge live rounds, which was a pretty big concern. Luckily there was a gun smith at the range who diagnosed the problem of there being too much head space. I contacted Bushmaster and within 5 minutes of dialing I had spoken to a real live person who sent me a prepaid shipping label immediately. I sent the rifle in, and Bushmaster had it back to me in about 3 weeks. I have since put about 400-500 rounds through it and have not had a single problem of any kind, and the rifle is very accurate. I didn't give the gun 5 stars because a brand new gun should work perfectly when it leaves the factory, but I have to give Bushmaster's customer service department credit in how well they dealt with the situation, and in the end, I ended up with a great weapon.

Was able to get a great deal on this Bushmaster. Wrangled Bud's price down to $715 and adding in using credit card and transfer fee paid a total of $770. The icing on top was that Bushmaster has a $50 rebate,so my final cost for a great AR was $720! Shipping was fast as always with Bud's,getting the rifle in three working days. At the range was able to get the AR to group 1 3/4'' at 100 yards using open sights and M855 ammo. I'll mount a red dot sight on it as soon as I can,which shouldn't be too long because of the great price I got. Again thanks Bud's!

I was looking for just a good straight up AR-15 that wasn't anything special but would be a good range toy and this rifle is it.You really can't go wrong here. Bud's was excellent to deal with as always. Thank you!
