But even for cheap rifles, they were still tempting.
Yes, I was tempted by the cheapness of it all. I found it on GB and it was it was $277 by the time it was all said and done. I bought 1000 rounds of Federal 17 grain V-Max and TNT HP to try, at $260 + shipping and taxes came out to $280. Not very often does the rifle cost less than the ammunition from the start.
Things I don't like about the rifle, other than the obvious.
The barrel threads are ½-20, so I had to buy a thread adapter ($35) to use my suppressor ½-28 pitch.
Magazines 5 rounds, are too short. They don't always fall out when the release is pushed. Magazine has to be perfect for the bolt to pickup first round, so you have to fiddle with it at times. It would be nice just to have the magazine stick out of the well, so you could manipulate it easier.
Non adjustable buttstock, but that's on me as I didn't research these. The stock overall is just cheap as well, but it is a cheap rifle and to be expected.
Niko Sterling scope 4-12X40 BDC, the dang reticle covers up almost a full MOA at 100 yards. Actually it's like ¾ MOA it covers, but the reticle is just too thick.
I'll probably shoot it this year if I see it back anytime soon. Legacy states 90-120 day turn around time on warranty work. Im sure that's due to the fact they just import the rifles. After I play with it awhile, I may buy another Bergara BMR or give the Tikka a try in .17 HMR.
