Who's got one? How does it shoot with the pencil barrel?
Is that the same as the lightweight?
My sister has one on 308. Shoots very well.
Same one yup
needs a suppressor. Barks plenty. Stock feels great but flexible as. Fine in 223.
Hi Beavis
I have 1 in 308, had it chopped to 18" and supressed with Hardy can.
Shoots 150 hornady sst's into less than an inch at 100 so all good, I only do 3 shot groups and does not seem to walk after 3 shots, maybe not the best for bombing up goats.
As a point of interest I had a rem model 7, walked after 1 shot, didnt last long in the safe.
Cheers

I'd be looking at either .308 or 7/08. More likely 7/08, then I can just use the same load as my gas gun and load in bulk - one pool of ammo. I've always had want for one of these for no particularly great reason. It would be a bush hunting rifle 90% of the time, it would have a dialler on top so I could make full use of the round though. Maybe get the 10 shot mag kit for shits n giggles. That would get the tube hot lol. Got the AR's for goats.
can you really see yourself using it with an ar10 7mm08 sitting next to it?
i sold my 223 cz527 after noticing that i hadnt used it since buying my ar15.
food for thaught
The "AR10" satisfies my want for a "tactical" rifle. Its to damn heavy to carry bush for to long. I mean it's manageable, but it would be a PITA for general bush hunting.
AR15's are great for hunting, wouldn't bother with a bolty .223, big frame AR's are a different animal.
Had one in 7/08. Fairly accurate, but fuck it got hot. Over barrel didnt help. I stiffened the forend and "tuned" the trigger and it was a mint little shooter, but no good at the range as you could only get about 10 rounds off an hour in summer. I had to sell it to help fund "our" wedding/honeymoon. Thinking about another as a basher.
Yea that pencil tube would get hot faster than a P freak's pipe on pay day. The key thing is I wouldn't be testing it's cyclic rate, never fired more than 3 shots at a deer... I would prefer the standard profile if they made one in 7mm08.
