Search function fails me on finding opinions and experience on the KELTEC SU-16.

I was thinking about getting one. Coyote/wolf/fox/beaver is kind of the plan. I think a semi auto in .223 would be good in the right circumstances.

I am curious about accuracy and consistency, as well as reliability.
 
I bought one in January , have since put about a thousand rnds through it. Not one malfunction. At the range 2 days ago with 9 lar mags , fired all 9 pretty fast, put all 90 rnds in a 5 inch circle, keep in mind I was shooting with a bipod and shooting very fast. Had no problem at 200 yards either. There seems to be a lot of haters of this gun , I like it. It cost $1200 modded out. If you can't shoot a coyote at 300 yards with this then it's not the guns fault. I was using AE black box 55 g ammo. A lot of people will try and compare it to robinson arms xcr-l which costs $1300 +taxes more.
 
I had one and sold it. I liked it for what it was, semi auto CF, folds up nice to fit in quad box, light to carry, etc. I found it very unpleasant to shoot though, it was too light. Each shot would ring my ears and rattle my teeth.

you have to set the date to more than the 2 week default, there are a ton of threads on this gun, here are 3 pages worth of threads.

I've put a lot of rounds downrange with mine, never had a failure of any kind. It's lightweight which is nice, easy to carry, aftermarket options for stock etc. I have a Trijicon 1-4 with aero precision lightweight scope mount on mine and it's a really low-weight setup. If your expectations are reasonable, the SU16 will deliver fun reliable shooting. One thing to note, when disassembly time comes for cleaning, it's best to have a short optic like my trijicon or a QD scope mount, for a visual on this check out youtube, there's some videos showing disassembly.
