I was in my local Sportsmans yesterday - they had about 6 MRC rifles and all of them were marked way down. Their ASR (?) with the wood stocks were marked at $800. I'm sure some of them are great rifles, but it's just too big a gamble.
Pretty sad stuff - I remember obsessing over one of these rifles a few years back. Glad I never pulled the trigger on one.
I know some here got GOOD MRCs but...
I won't gamble on it.
