If they were a little easier to get, I probably would already own one. Way cheaper to shoot the .22LR than .223. If I can find one for a decent price later this year, I may just pick one up.
All these people are putting rails, $95 stocks and $350 EOtechs on them. TactiCOOL, yes, functional... Not so sure. I kinda cringe at spending double what the gun cost on accessories.
Well, at first glance $500 seems like a lot for a .22, then I look at my 10/22 and realize that $500 is not so bad........
I would like to see one in person, but I'm considering getting another 10/22 to build to go with my other so I'm not sure yet. Would have to see one. If anyone sees one in Indiana post up so we can take a look!
Most reports I have seen from other owners have been overall positive. The most common issue seems to be jams/misfeeds if the front of the magwell or the magazine itself is gripped too tight, causing the mag to flex, scraping on the follower, and subsequently not chambering a round properly.
Got the standard model a couple of weeks ago. Between my daughter and myself, we shot well over a brick through it on first outing. Very fun rifle and very accurate. My daughter was shooting from a seated position on the ground, using the iron sights and was able to keep all 22 rounds from the mag in a 3 inch circle at 30 yards.
Just picked up 4 mags from Aim Surplus. They have the aftermarket mags for half what the factories sell for. From what I hear, the aftermarket mags actually work! Bought a few and will report on them as soon as I get a chance.
I've been thinking about getting one of these myself. The cheap ammo is really appealing. Please post some photos & range report when you get your rifle.
Have one and love it. Never had a problem with ammo feeding and is surprisingly accurate. Right now I consider it one of my best purchases. If you get one, I'd suggest buying extra mags.
