    Nice looking rifle.

    Let us know how it shoots.

    Give us a range report ASAP. Tell us how it feels and shoots.

    I've stayed away from them because I didn't like the front sight and flash hider. They are making their own and they are not standard looking. Its different and thus I don't like it.

    That is what I was wondering!

    My father hadn't fired a rifle in 60 years when my daughter and I took him to a friend's place to enjoy shooting. Compared to the last time he held a rifle (last year or two of World War 2 in Germany and a few months after while waiting to deploy to the pacific). The smile on his face showed he understood our enjoyment of the sport. The tight groups with both AR-15 and Ruger 10/22 showed that after 60 years he still had what got him that infantry marksmanship badge!!! One of my daughters and mine finest and near last memories of my hero before he left this crazy earth.

    48 years, not bad! Hope you truly get to enjoy shooting for fun!
