It is not a bad deal for that rifle. Since it is there and easy I would just go ahead and pick that one up. You will eventually end up buying another one anyways.

I'd pass on the $300 red dot sight. For a little more you can get a nice Eotech. Get some P-Mags while you're at it. I also like the detachable handle which gives you lots of options.

$900 is what I paid for my Bushie last year so that's a good price.

I have had zero issues with it but of course I have also changed pretty much everything out except the barrel, upper, lower, BCG, and buffer tube.

It's a great AR until you learn and decide what you like.

Bushmaster: good. (RRA better for about the same or less, imnsho)
C-more: not worth it. Eotech or Aimpoint in that price range.
BUIS: lots of options. ARMS, Troy, MI, YHM,PRI, GG&G,...

.

build a lower with a RRA match trigger, and put a cmmg upper on it.

or at least thats what i would do instead of buying a package AR.

I agree with Longballsd .... get the EoTech. I love mine. Also love the Pmags as well ... just received my order yesterday afternoon so I now have 7 of them.

The C-More has been surpassed by EOTech and Aimpoint, in durability and battery life. I'd pass on the C-More.
