Anyone have a Bushmaster??

I want to buy a Bushmaster A3 carbine. And i was wondering if a Bushmaster is the way to go.
The 17 HMR is a hell of a round!!!

I have had several Bushies and never a problem EXCEPT the last one I got and the factory service seems to be pretty good so far.
Perception is everything. For instance, a crowded elevator smells different to a midget.

I have a standard Bushmaster lower with an American Spirit A2 upper.  The Bushmaster appears to be high quality.  

The only dissatisfaction I have is with the stock single stage trigger which is quite heavy, but crisp at 8 lbs.  I think I will be ordering their adjustable two stage trigger which adjustable down to half that.

Thomas,
  My new Varminter has the two satge trigger and even tho I had a problem with the barrel, I did really like that trigger. That's what sold me on the gun. Try one, you'll like it.

I bought the same Bushmaster in the picture above about a month ago. A3 M4 carbine. Its only seen one range session, but so far I'm highly impressed with it. I can't wait to take a coyote with it this winter.
