I have the Remington version of it (R-15) paid just over $1000 without scope. I'm a big fan, and to my understanding the Remington is an exact copy of the Bushy (even made by the Bushy for Remington.) Very accurate, great for coyote hunting and p-dogs. If you have the chance to get one, grab it!
Vote for R-15 from here also. Predator has NM 4.5 lbs trigger, but at least I want something really different trigger for a Varmint rifle. You can put Jard trigger into R-15 and your rifle is practically not more expensive than Predator.
I do not prefer Predator-style risers, because they do not extend upper receiver rail at all. I would prefer something like this instead + good quality ring set : http://www.brownells.com/.aspx/pid=24997/Product/HAHN_PRECISION_AR_15_CAR_15_SCOUT_RAIL
Just my 2 cents :)
I had one up till I decided to move in another direction.. It was the 24" barrel. So, it was really heavy.. without a doubt the most accurate gun I have ever owned.. Kind of sorry I got rid of it..

I have a varminter, I like it.
Thanks all, I will put a little $ to the side so when I see a good price I can pick it up.

I bought the RRA predator pursuit and love it. Purchased for right at 1k with tax though I have twice that into it now.

I ordered my predator through Pete aka legal transfers was a little less than that. Then of course Carl aka Bailey Guns did the transfer. I thought the 24" would be unneeded weight.

I built a Stag Varmint rifle recently and couldn't be happier. I got my complete upper from Pete and got the rest locally. [Beer]

I have the Rem R15 version. It's one of my favorite guns to shot.

Every bushmaster I've shot have preformed great (also my reserve units issued M16a2 is marked bushmaster o.0). The only different between the 2 rifles is just the barrel. For $15 bucks more you get a heavier barrel that 4 inches longer. Just choose the one that you think will suit your needs the best. Are you buying the rifle for Target shooting? Competition action shooting? Want to shoot it Off-hand or benched?
Either way you can't go wrong.
