Meh well since I'm not master hunter and don't kill more dogs then parvo or deer then CWD along with only buying junk my piddly lil opinion ain't worth much but , it's a toy for me plain and simple idk Like the ease customization and modularity of the ar platform. Can do every thing from barrel swaps ,trigger work to adjusting the stock and what not myself and all pretty inexpensive compared to about anything else. And this thing uses AR bolts , barrels stocks mags .....well really everything except the receiver and bolt.As I like bolt guns so .. don't really have some big grand plan. That being said the ultra light and suppressed crowd have been in love with this thing because they can use one of these uppers to lego build stuff at there desk that would require a gunsmith any other way. My favorite so far is this thing YouTube expert "The bird of Hermes is my name , eating my wings to keep me tame"

Had him put a howa barreled action on it chambered in 300 win Mag. It fits her so well she can shoot 8-10 rounds before its uncomfortable. For deer I load it with 150 grain bullets at about 2800 fps. She can shoot that all day. It was not that pricey. I get that lots of guns dont fit you but that worked good for my bride. Thought I would just toss that out there.

I think it just takes away my chance to buy another gun. lol That's why they make so many options, since different people like different things. www.iowatrapperstalk.com ADC's Baits and Supplies, click here

The bolt upper allows the use of 350 legend, etc. if you one on AR platform already. the just shall live by faith member FTA, ATA, EAFT 1776 - the year we told a tyrant we weren't to be under a dictator Caveat ater macula
