After owning Colt’s, BCM, T&E’ing Daniel Defenses, T&E’ing PWS, owning a Knights LPR, and finally owning Geissele Super Duty LE 10.3 and 16...the pair of Geissele guns are my “hard use”/duty guns.
I swapped SSA and SSA-E triggers in them and added Geissele rails. Even with adding those parts the cost was on par/equal to most offerings at the entry level rifle cost. BUT, they are much more robust and well put together. From the improved gas system, well sized gas ports, and the litany of other quality control improvements they have been incredibly reliable for about 1000 rounds each so far. Accuracy of the 10.3" and 16" is hovering right around 1moa/1.25moa with IMI 77gr.
While not BETTER, I would say out of the all the brands I have experience with the Geissele is most comparable to/on par with Knights. For the price difference I'd say they are the better buy fwiw. I don't like proprietary parts and as a result shied away from Knights. But in my little world, couldn't be happier or more please with the Super Duty LE rifles.
Here is the write up I did really diving into the Geissele rifles, as you can see this is a very well put together rifle. Now that the accuracy and reliability is confirmed as far as I'm concerned, I recommend them to anyone looking for a factory rifle.
