I have a Bushmaster Carbon 15, but without all that "stuff" on it! Wonderfully light, but with a red dot, an essentially short range gun. Not much over 100 yards IMHO.

Be without fear in the face of your enemies. Be brave and upright, that God may love thee. Speak the truth always, even if it leads to your death. Safeguard the helpless and do no wrong;

I'd agree the sights on any AR are the limiting factor. When I put the 4.5-14 Conquest on it, it rings the 12" gong every shot at 300 meters with 55 gr LC ball. That's "minute of raghead" any day.
