I am a newbie to AR-15 type rifles, but have been shooting various other conventional rifles for a long time (target 22's, .30-30, .30-06, .270, 7x57, etc, both scoped and iron).
When I look on the Bushmaster web site, I see flat-top and carry-handle versions of the otherwise same rifle setup. Why would someone choose a flat-top vs. carry handle version? What are they designed or meant for?
I understand that the carry handle incorporates basic iron sights, however I have also seen carry-handle models with a scope mounted, so what's the deal?
thanks!
