I know nothing of this rifle other than what I found out today( Never bothered to check it out). My Boss at work has a chance to buy a never fired one for $800.00.
After looking at some stuff, I see it is a sub sonic load. A ( basically) 223 case with 17 gn powder. Now I am not into this stuff, but my question is.
Why would anyone want something like this other than a novelty item?. All I had chance at work to look at was.
223 case, 17 gns powder and a 220 gn bullet( im sure there are other loads).
To me that is a-,,, 100 yard rifle if even that. It seems like a waste of time and money. So- Im asking-What and why would one buy one?. What would you use it for and what is the range on these things. What is the selling point other then to have one. At this point in time ( not knowing anything) I told him I would not even waste my money on it.
