Seamus Posted May 2, 2012 Report Share Posted May 2, 2012 There's one of these for sale quite close to me that is getting more and more tempting (if I wasn't having to wait another few weeks for my FAC I suspect I'd have bought it by now, however in the meantime)... Does anyone have one? Are there any bad points that I should look out for? I've done a search on here and can't find anything regarding the .223 version so any experience/advice anyone has is appreciated! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cannon Posted May 2, 2012 Report Share Posted May 2, 2012 My experience of them is such that I would not buy one. The stock comb is far too high to correctly align your eye to open sights should you wish to use them, and for the price it just doesn't feel like a well made gun. It is accurate though, but then again so are loads of other bolt action .223's at half the price. My two cents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had the tactical elite in .223. I think I would have another one though for the right money. I wouldn't get a heavy barrel one second time around though.

Seamus Posted May 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2012 Thanks for the input both; I think I'll have a better look around before buying the first rifle that catches my eye, or at least see if they'll haggle on price a bit, it's been in the shop a while.
