Hello,
I've been looking at lightweight, light caliber (.223) personal defense and hiking semi-autos, one of which will compliment a .223 precision rifle I'm planning.
Went and tried several AR rifles. I still hate 'em. They seem heavy for the caliber, even stripped, and none feel "right". Can't put my finger on it. I do believe a big part is the pistol grip.
This would be more along the lines of what I'm looking for:
Kel Tec CNC
Full stock, simple AR design.
I don't like the folding stuff or built in bipod (that seems more suited to a light machine gun IMO) but the basic design is great.
I would also come in under budget.
What do you folks think? Are these fairly accurate? Are they durable? I do definitely like the light weight -- that would be perfect for hiking. I'd like to fit a shooting sling... can this be done?
What are the overall opinions of these carbines?
Thanks,
Josh
