Same here. It's like a girl with a thick padded bra. Looks good until closer inspection. I'm bailing too.
agreed, from a marketing stand point if that were the case, that this is a line, they shouldn't have released any info on this until they were ready to release the semi version side by side. or waited and released the semi info first. This is a marketing blunder that could potentially bring down the whole line.
I'm hoping the sales of my CZ858 , SKS and M-305/M-14 , will raise enough money for a bolt action fudd gun . I had enough money saved up to buy this gun but spent it all on a nice bowl of soup and a bow tie . This was designed for Call Of Duty two hand strokers . Save your money for acne medication and a new light bulb for Moms basement .
Oh, my... is that a bad joke ?
We only pay $200-ish for SKS because they are surplus production, and not new production. A new production SKS would be in the $600-ish (or more).
AFAIU the K31 action, the bolt is a rotating bolt (versus the tilted bolt of an SKS), the straight pull is only achieved with a cam.
Some lesbian ends up being married to men... weird isn't it ? Not for much more reason than "love". And yes, ###uality is much more of a grey area than "straight" or "homo"...
Well, Canadian gun owner are getting used to wait...
Okay, let me get this straight: They prohibbed the Armi Jaeger after it had been in the country and non-restricted for a dozen years. A mediocre .22 semi that was a marketing success because they made it look somewhat like an AK. No interchangeable parts, different operating system, rimfire. Now they are going to let in a BA that looks like an AK, and people think this will lead to a semi???
BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA Not sure what people are smoking, but it must be good.
I'm an old guy and remember the days when we could own and shoot any of these. I had an AKM with an under-folder and an RPK, and we were allowed to have real magazines-hell I even got a 75 round drum with the RPK. Other than the fact they were durable as heck and would take a licking and keep on ticking they weren't that special. They were reliable because they were manufactured with loose tolerances. They weren't anything in the accuracy department. I'll stick with my 858. In my experience it's got the AK beat hands down.

Yeah I'd be on board with that if it offers an accuracy advantage over the 858. But I'd be surprised if it did. Only range-time will tell on that one. I'd love to do an accuracy head to head with them though
what saddens me the most is i was waiting for all the dirt cheap vz58's to hit the EE. I would of been like a kid in a candy store!
Oh, I get that. I wasn't talking about what it would cost to make. I was talking about what it would be worth to consumers. If you want to lay down $400 or more for a rifle that is outclassed by a simple $175 - 200 SKS, go ahead. I think if they want to sell in any sort of volume, they will need to price accordingly, especially if the reaction here is any indication. If indeed there is a follow up line of semi autos in the works, they'll make enormous profits on those, but these rifles will be a very small niche if not priced to sell.
A semi would be cool, but within the law.. Its not going to happen. Your logic would make the vz58/858 also not worth it to consumers because it doesn't outclass the SKS very much yet costs 3 times as much. Sure its a bit lighter and strips down easier but functionally it really does the same thing.
The 858 is a semi auto that is far more aesthetically pleasing than the SKS. In terms of function, there isn't much that sets the 858 ahead of the SKS, but in the looks department, it has a distinct advantage. You can price a product as high as you like, if there is enough demand for it, it will sell. If the 858 was a straight pull bolt action, what do you think its value would be? Regardless of what it cost to produce/import or how cool it looked, I think you would have a tough time trying to sell those for more than an SKS. Maybe I'm wrong, maybe there will be a niche willing to pay twice as much as an SKS for a rifle that is only a cosmetic match for an AK. Not my place to say what the rifle is worth to others, I'm just voicing my opinion. I'm sure UT is paying attention to what we're saying about this product. I'm letting them know what I would be willing to pay for it. Let them price it accordingly, if they want to sell.
