I don't think you are getting the hint.

I am sick of wasting bandwidth on these people that:
(a) Can't do some research on their own,
and
(b) When they are handed solid information still refuse to listen.
Look, if you weren't going to listen the advice that you should have known you were going to get, why did you even bother to start this thread? Really, don't waste our time if you aren't going to listen to the advice that you get.
If I pull the trigger on this purchase, I'll do a range report. I have no problem eating crow and admitting my mistake if it turns out to be an unreliable and/or poor quality rifle.
Still thinking on it.
DeltaSierra, what "solid information"are you referring to? I've heard about pedigree, lack of specs and cheap aftermarket parts (a mere conclusory statement with nothing specified). I provided some specs in post 14 by the way.
This is just going to be a plinker but I do want something really reliable. I have a couple 6920's should I need trust my life reliability.
I'd not go for it personally since I kinda am leery of possibly low quality parts in a gun that can be made so well. It's also not so bad to just save a couple hundred- as they say- since at that point you know exactly what you're paying for (including a warranty by default). If you want to be the first to review it then go for it and tell us how it shoots after a few thousand rounds. For now, most people don't really know so they can't advise you on this one.
I'm curious as to what specifically makes it a "nice rifle"? If you can discern that it's a "nice rifle" but not "top of the line", it presumes you know the differences between what makes a top notch rifle and what makes a mediocre rifle. Most of the recommended rifles here come with a full laundry list of specifications on individual components. For brands outside of Colt, they strive to meet the gold standards created by Colt, and those standards aren't arbitrary, but very specific.Quote:
$765.00 law enforcement only deal. Seems like a nice rifle. Not top of the line but a nice rifle for the price.
While not everyone needs a Colt, this forum concentrates on providing information and suggestions towards proven rifle platforms for folks that depend on their rifles to keep them alive. As such, while other brands might be perfectly suitable as a range rifle, the focus here isn't that end of the spectrum. There are plenty of other forums that deal with those. Assuming you're getting LE pricing, it means you're going to depend on the rifle. Is $200 savings really worth it?
No worries, I will point them out to you. The CAA/MAKO stock is junk and the YHM is the same. While these are not on the rifle you linked they do offer these parts on other rifles. The choice of parts drives home the point that they care more about the cost of the rifle rather than the quality of it.
Since you already have 6920's just buy more ammo...
Cesiumsponge, I said it "seems" like a nice rifle. (I don't have a commanding knowledge of AR's which is why I purposely qualified with "seems.") Stag upper and barrel is the bulk of what "seems" nice to me. I have heard nice things about Stag and their customer service. Their 6.8 barrels are supposedly 4150 and chrome lined. I have heard that they are accurate.
And no, just because one is LE and can take advantage of an LE discount does not mean they will be relying on the gun in life /death situations. One can purchase recreational guns with the discount.
13MPG, I really do get the hint and if it were a SHTF or duty weapon, I would only entrust my life to a more expensive gun with a specified list of quality components. Just looking for a reliable plinker and for $765.00, it "seems" like a nice rifle.
Thanks to all for your advice.
