I've been giving serious consideration to purchasing one of these. I like the idea of a .308 bullpup, lefty friendly carbine. I had an opportunity to handle one today at a gunstore and was surprised at my seeming inability to get what felt like a solid mount. This was an out-of-the-box gun with no BUIS or optics.
I have yet to find a review with anything negative other than they get hot at the cheek-weld and require the use of some sort of pad.
My questions are:
1. Has anyone here had the opportunity to shoot one?
2. If so, positive/negative feedback?
3. Are they worth the money? The local shop had the one I groped at $1450 and I've seen them in the $1200 range on the internet, meaning I'll be spending about $1300 to have one ordered with transfer fees & shipping.
4. Accuracy? Are they "battle accurate"? Which to me means at least 2MOA.
5. It's a Kel-Tec, it's a new design with a radically different ejection process, I'm looking for something more than a post on the Kel-Tec forum stating that "I've put 150 flawless rounds through mine in the 6 months that I've had it."
6. I'll probably be giving up my Bushmaster in order to come up with enough scratch to get one. I realize .308 in any form is more costly than 5.56. Am I gaining anything besides a larger caliber, heavier ammo loadout, and a bigger hole in the target? Is .308 more effective out of a 16" barrel than 5.56?
Thanks for any and all assistance.
