Today I picked up a new Bushmaster, 20" H-Bar. I had a 16" Bushie with A1 sights in the past, and for some reason, just didn't get around to shooting it much until a friend made me an offer on it I couldn't refuse (no, I didn't wake up with a horse head under the sheets). I don't quite know why, but the 20" feels much more natural in my arms than the 16" did, and I love the increased sight radius (when you have 20/200 vision, you need all the assistance you can muster). Anyway, it's great!
I probably shouldn't have done it, but I couldn't resist the temptation to go straight out and shoot it. I loaded up the factory 10 rounder with some ammo and some apprehension, due to all the negative press I've heard about these mags. No problem. I proceeded to blaze away at some pumpkins from about 80 paces (not very sporting for the pumpkins) and had no failures in 140 rounds of Win USA (3131A). Those 55 grain pills certainly do a number on those festive orange gourds. So for now, accuracy is "minute of pumpkin" until I can get to a real range for a thorough wringing-out.
Despite its neutered appearance, it still has a satisfying "touch of evil"
Happiness IS a warm gun, after all.
