So I dropped by my local Basscabelas today to find most displays wrapped in black plastic in advance of Black Friday, strange retail practice if you ask me, but in theor BF flyer they have these GSG-15 Competition Semi Auto .22s listed at $100 off, meaning $500 instead of $600.
Anschutz is a magic name with me and it would be nice to have a 22 round magazine to shoot again, but after a longish wait at the Bascabelas gun counter with the staff bustling about but avoiding eye contact I had to leave in defeat, not having even seen this rifle, new to me, on the racks never mind in person. But I do see they have them instock.
So before I take the blind online plunge, I'm wondering what people have to say about this rifle. Also, any opinions about its fate if ARs and scary looking other rifles are banned will be read with interest. Mostly though, what is the rifle's build, accuracy, and reliability like?
