Haven't got it out of "lay away" yet, So I haven't got to shoot it.
The LOP is similar to the last .223 I had. A Ruger 77 LSS compact with a 16.5" barrel.
I liked it well, except it was a little loud with the short barrel.
Was going to rebarrel it, but this was MUCH cheaper. The 18" barrel should be just right!
It's a little short, but darn handy for quick pointing.
I added it up; This will be number 8 rifle in .223 that I've owned over the years.
Am thinking I've got a "winner" this time around.
