Was wandering if anyone has any experiance or opinions on this rifle? I have been looking at getting an ar style rifle and would appreciate any input. Thank You!
 
I've been following this post a coupla days hoping to see some responses because I have been interested as well. Just to let you know you're not being ignored. Oh, by the way...welcome to Predator Masters.
 
I would like to know if anyone has shot one too, i seen them and handled them this past weekend and i gotta say i liked what i saw, i liked the tapered down ff tube felt very nice in the hands.
 
I saw one at a gun show a month ago, It looked ok for a $700 AR. But if you spend a 1k on a Rock River, Bushmaster, or an Armalite just to name a few you will get a much nicer gun. Just my $0.02

You can also spend $3000 and get a nicer gun than a $1000 gun. LOL
 
Like the small forearm and larger pistol grip. The light weight for 20" makes it balance well. Haven't shot one but would buy one if I needed another AR.
 
Finally got scope on and got to shoot today. After getting scope (3-9x40 redfield) sighted in, shot 3 shot group that i could cover with a quarter at 100 yards. Really really didnt like trigger at all but have orderd 3# timney in group buy!Over all very pleased but will be happier when trigger arrives.
 
My uncle has one that I got to handle a couple of weeks ago, seems like a pretty decent tool, especially for the price. He told me he gets groups ranging from .75" to 2" depending on the ammo and how he is shooting that day. I did try the trigger and I share your opinion on that, but it sounds like you have it remedied. Hope you enjoy your gun.
 
New here, I bought one the first of November. Trigger sucked!, broke at 61/2#'s with 1/16" creep. Had a guy do a trigger job, breaks right under 4 with no creep and really crisp. Shoots nice, under dime size groups at 100 with cheap ammo. Really pleased with it.

I just saw a new one at a local shop....only $1399!
I told him Id give $770 the pre shooting street price, he didnt go for it, but did say he got it for $689 from his wholesaler.

All about the mighty dollar at some places. I can still buy that rifle here at my gun dealer in stock still for 700$ all day long. Some people love this BS so they can mark up double to triple of original prices. That is just crazy.
 
Bought one for just over 700. Trigger is not very good but better than my S&W. Functions flawlessly and will or wants to shoot. I've got some 1" to 1 1/2" three shot groups at 200. Not every time but often enough to have hope. The trigger is the culprit. I have a 3 lb Timney on the way and expect great things. I did get a mangey red fox with it on Christmas Eve morning at about 40 yards, bang-flop.

This was my first ar style purchase and the only thing I should have done differantly was to buy two of them.
 
Grinder, my own handloads. I don't buy ammo, I make my own. Not really comfortable giving my recipies. They work safely in my guns, maybe not yours. I will say that I use 748, 55 gr V-Max, Lake City brass, and Winchester primers in the Mossberg. My Tikka takes 40 gr Nosler BT, 335, Winchester brass (neck sized,) and Remington primers. It will shoot one hole at 100 and a 45 caliber hole at 200 for 5 shots fairly regularly. The Mossberg does take all my concentration and a little luck with the original trigger. I'm sure the Timney will fix that so I can get back to enjoying a good cup of coffee at the range.
 
Scored my first coyote with the mmr this morning! called in a pair didn't see them till they were 60 yards and closing, turned 90 degrees to my right shot the first turned on the second just to see the first get his legs back turned back on him just in time to see him go down again , back on the second just as he crest a hill at about 150 yards, didn't fire as i couldn't see past the crest of the hill. But very, very excited!
 
I purchased one just before Xmas. I have a timney trigger coming from our gb soon I hope. It shoots very accurate off the stand, but with the addition of the timney it should be a great hunting piece. I also replaced the IMO ridiculous grip with a magpul. I added an ambi fire selector too. Other features I liked is the oversized charging handle and the narrow forearm with double sling posts. It fits in my shooting sticks nicely. I like the mmr.
