Quote from Mr.FDKAY "They suck, obviously.
Why do you want to justify something you already bought?
Looking to stroke your ego or seek inclusion into a club or something?Most people would ask BEFORE they spend 1000 bucks on a factory rifle.I figure that with 234 posts, you are well aware of what the opinion is." end quote
Mr. FDKAY,
Seriously man, I asked for opinions on the rifle because I dont know much about this model, I didnt ask for a smartass remark from someone who may or may not even own one. DO you, have you?
When are we all going to start being more polite to folks. If we gun owners dont stop all the bickering and stick together, we're all going to see the day our guns are taken from us.Think about it Mr. FDKAY. Was there a good reason for a remark like yours?

Yes there was a good reason for a remark like mine.
As someone who has over 230 posts, like you do, you are well aware of the search function.
You were out for some type of self-gratification.
If you didn't know anything about them, why did you buy one FIRST, then ask if it was worth a shit? Wouldn't a somewhat reasonable person think to themselves "Gee, I'm about to plunk down a thousand bucks on a factory rifle, maybe I should find out FIRST, if they are worth the money"
If you wanted to start a stroke fest, you could have just started a thread that said "Gee, I just ordered my 5R, I am pumped and can't wait".
You would have gotten similar responses from the owners of said rifles.
As a side, no I do not own one, I was being sarcastic.
I would certainly like to own one. I have a Sendero in 7mm Mag that is a fine shooter and a SPS tactical that is pretty good too.
I think you will be VERY pleased with the rifle, and are sure to have numerous groups worth bragging about, which is fine, pride in ownership, pride in a good day at the range, it's all good.
