Sho nuff it do. But 'decent' does in no way start at a 300 dollar bill. Not even tree fiddy.
About the shooting per annum part...well, that's a different problem. A fool and their money are soon parted.
It's 1,999 anymore. "Decent" ... Uncle Sam pays a lot more for a rifle that will do exactly the same thing as one of these. These will do 4 MOA with cheap bulk ammo and get 1.75" 5 rd groups with match ammo all day long. For the guy who will likely never shoot match ammo through their AR, does it make sense for them to spend 4x the amount on a rifle that is going to, at best, group 2.5" vs 4" with the same bulk ammo for 2-4 outings a year?
Assuming they ever actually try and shoot it for groups anyway vs throw a vortex red dot on it and be perfectly content hitting pie plates at 50 and 100 yards on their outtings?
The nose in the sky crowd need to climb down off their towers, everyone deserves the opportunity to own a decent rifle, even the young kid struggling through college or person starting out on his first day on the ambulance. You see the starting pay for EMT's right now? How many people out there voting right now would be voting differently if they had one of these sitting in their homes?
