Why all the RFBs for sale on the EE?????

Expensive rifle, expensive ammo, high on cool, low on practicality. Easy to have second thought esp. at current resale price.
 
maybe everyone is selling them cause of nutnfancys latest run and gun video where it gets outperformed by the M1A and the SCAR heavy lol ..... i dont really like that mall ninja too much i take his videos with a grain of salt.. but its no surprise the M1A and SCAR heavy are better, they are military grade firearms the RFB is not, way more r&d and testing was done in making the M14 and SCAR rifles ..
 
The 17S is a pretty nice rifle, if reviews are to believed. If they were being sold here, no one would buy an RFB.

well its not to hard or pricey to turn a Norc/Poly m305 in a ultra reliable MOA battle rifle. yanks would kill to have these cheap m14s .. but people still spend 3k on a RFB ,, but that thing is light and short very big selling features..

I have a tuned norc. I won't be lugging that boat paddle into the woods for hunting anymore after getting the RFB. But it is way better for bench shooting.

You always get this. Especially just before or after a new shipment is coming in. The same thing happens with the Tavor and pretty much any firearm. Some people are willing to part with theirs to make a few bucks, others bought it and it either wasn't what they wanted, something else has caught their attention or they were having regrets over the price. It's a lot of money to have tied up in a firearm!!!

I'm keeping mine. I haven't had much time to shoot it lately. As for being out shot. Maybe but it's still giving us 1.5 moa 5 round groups at 100 meters. There's a lot more testing to be done. One of the main issues is that most people aren't doing ammo tests or reloading etc. So the magic bullets aren't known. Shooting a .308 CQB style gets expensive. Not knowing right off the get go what the best ammo is through them can get people frustrated.

I also wonder if people's expectations aren't too high. On the internet everyone shoots 1/4 moa "providing I do my part". In reality it's not that common. A lot of the common rifles are really only 2 moa rifles. The RFB is also tough to shoot off a bench since it's not the conventional rifle design and it's not designed for bench rest.

The bottom line. It's fairly new and not enough people have played around with them to really figure these rifles out. It's not a 5R where you use 168 Federal Gold and shoot sub .5 moa groups right off the get go.

It's a unique rifle with high demand. There is money to be made if you have one and don't need to sell. You're going to see some movement on the EE then it'll dry up for a while. Seems to be the common trend.

Those guns are also alot more money then the RFB...heavier and bigger overall.

The RFB takes time to master...you can't expect to be pro with it after 2 range visits, youtubing it for a night and 3 boxes of ammo from Wal Mart through it.
