Only thing I don't like is that it doesn't have a zero stop

It’s a ~$700 difference at least.

Though it only costs one weeks work instead of 4 weeks, yeah

The rest of the money will be spent training. There's a guy in my state who's a retired sniper and owns a mile long range.
A precision rifle class with them costs $300

Super jealous

That’s cheap as hell

Also don’t forget to torque your scope rings down properly.

~17 inch pounds should hold it.

@Crye_Salesman curious on your opinion. I know it's a budget option but is it a poor choice? For context, I only bring in around 400 a week.

I’ve got a failure to fire every 3-4 rounds.

Switched out BCGs and still an issue. Could it be a light hammer strike?

What kind of failure?

Is it not cycling or not firing at all?

Make sure your hammer spring isn't installed backward if it's not firing at all.

Anyone hace recommendations on ammo for our type of self defense?
556, in a 16" barrel, run fmj? Hollow? Green tip?

75gr boat tail hollow point if your twist rate supports it

Or 77, anywhere around there

Also open tip match.
The main reason being that 75-77 grain 5.56 bullets fragment incredibly well even at low velocity. They're devastating

Hmm, ill have to see if I can find any
Heaviest I got is 62, but most places have very limited stock lol

Most of it is from a dude with a doctorate

If I can't find any, you think hollow or fmj 55grain would work better?

Cause I knwere I can get those for sure, anything heavier I haven't seen on the shelf

Most stores only carry cheap 55gr plinking ammo and green tip. I'd probably suggest buying either online or at a local business if you can. A lot of online ammo stores have free shipping on the first purchase.

Commiefornia can't buy online 🥺

Oooh that complicates things

Very lol

And let alone the shortage out here lol

In that case I'd say save up for a large amount of ammo, drive to the nearest free state, and stock up there

I dont think I will, thats illegal and I wouldn't want to get in trouble 🙃 so hard no, as an unjust law abiding citizen

I think there's a few shops near the border in Nevada. I'd build one there if I were a store owner lol.

Heard Arizona and Nevada are nice this time around tho!

You might be able to pick up a few totally legal 10 round 458 socom pmags

I bought a few 30pmags that are converted to 10 round (makes them California legal) 1 rivet is all it takes to make it legal

A uhaul might also be good if possible

@Artemis

Happens every 2-3 rounds.

Ah light strikes

I’m guessing trigger

I tested 3 BCGs

Yeah make sure your hammer spring isn't backward, that's the number one cause, and surprisingly easy to mess up.
