Please school me on this rifle ..

Reliable ?

How does it feel to the touch ?

Accurate ?

I think im sold on this rifle, 308, short , non restricted ... im into high quality non restriced firearms such as custom bolt actions and night force optics. Im not really on a budget ... if its good, i like it, and it fits me i buy it.

I have never owned a "combat style rifle " such as AR's. But i would like to have something thats got some punch and is semi auto. I have always wanted something in 308 so this little rifle covers alot of area for me. I just dont want to order one have it show up and find out its a piece of junk. I know Bullpup's have terrible triggers because of the linkage but i hear this one isnt that bad. I was sold on a Tavor untill i picked one up i was terribly dissapointed with the way it felt in my hand and the trigger was horrible. Do the Kel Techs feel the same way ? Definatly not a selling factor for me but this is a ###y looking rifle.

If any one has one id like there feed back pro's and cons fill me in thanks.
 
Reliable seems like it used to shave my brass (sides) untill it was adjusted correctly and broken in.

It feels heavy and solid.

Accurate does not bad at all it's not a 1000 yard rifle but 800 is just fine.

Heres a video on it I blame the shooter...

Ya this guy is sucking hind tit ... what kind of groups can i exspect at 100 , 200 , and 300 yards with some good ammo ? I think its possible that i may hand load bench rest quality ammo for it when im hunting as i would put my reloading skills far above average. I shoot 1200 yards with my custom 7mm regularly. Im sure i could make some fantastic hunting ammo for it. Also i would stock pile a mountain of of the highest quality bulk ammo i could find ... could i exspect good accuracy with bulk ? i cant find any sh*ty feed back on this rifle.
 
1 to 1.5 MOA at 100m was the best I could do, I started a large thread on ammo testing with it.

It's accurate for what it is.
 
Not a piece of junk at all, I sold everything I have for hunting and left this for 'larger' game, moose, bear. Adjust the gas valve properly and you're good to go. Fit/finish on mine is a 8.8/10, I've heard better I've heard worse. In the bush it's phenomenal as it will not snag on anything (bull pups rule) and won't slow you down. Weight is up there, however, when you shoulder it the weight disappears, as it is mostly to the rear of the rifle. Sling carry is a non issue. At the range, well, it's good, but I would not put it up against anything half decent; it's just not meant for target practice, (my opinion only, not trying to start an argument) awkward to bench, and free hand is exactly that 'free hand'. It's non restricted, huuuuge plus, for me at least. Not a rifle to be babied, just take it and go shoot, but keep it clean for max efficiency. For my money, in the bush 9/10, at the range 6.5/10.....but that's just my opinion, and you know what they say about opinions...:)

FAMAE is a completely different piece of equipment, no? Other than the caliber.

Well it's a short (in comparison to most sporting rifles, it should also be available with a folding stock), high-quality, non-restricted .308 "combat style" rifle, so it fits the OP's criteria as he didn't specifically say he wanted a bullpup. The FAMAE will almost definitely have a better trigger and be more accurate than the RFB, not that the RFB has a horrible trigger (it is relatively heavy and long) or unacceptably low accuracy, but based on the OP's other rifles, his criteria and his impressions of the Tavor, I think the FAMAE would fit him better than an RFB. Based on the FAMAE SAF's I've handled, I have no doubt that the FAMAE 542 will be of better quality than the RFB (and yes, I have handled/shot the RFB, and I'm not saying that the RFB is of poor quality, it's quite good, but not the best).

I love mine.

Have had 0 reliability issues.

Feels like mans rifle. Good weight, well balanced. Trigger is surprisingly crisp out of the box ... especially for a bullpup - as good as many standard configured rifles.

If you reload you may do better, but from what I've seen from fellow rfb shooters, it is EASILY MOA capable, and of the factory ammo it seems to like the PPU the best, 147g FMJ.

Buy it, you won't regret it.
 
How to shoot sub MOA with RFB

Norinco SURPLUS !

IMG_8603_zpse3c32f18.jpg


And a good benchrest and technique.

The RFB has a very short rest axis which has to be extended forward with a frontal under rail to give the bullpup full length rifle rest points for stability.I also use the convenient rear rail to extend rearwards. Sub 1inch at a hundred becomes easy !

Yes mine also likes norinco surplus 1.5-2 all day and for hunting winchester silver tip (168gr., i should try the 150 for fun)
Very accurate, very relyable fun to shoot, range is really fun with sand bags front and rear;)
 
Thanks for all the feedback , looks like i dropped the ball on my purchase and there are none around again. Last shipment sold out right away. Think im going to order one and wait my turn.

Didn't see that written in that post or displayed on the target.
 
3 shots it's fairly easy to get MOA or s bit less. The trick is finding the right gas setting and load to limit verticle stringing. You have a FN FAL, SVT40 style action and verticle stringing is a common issue. It can be mitigated though. There are a few tricks out there.

Fireball is keenly aware of this. Hence the 3 shot comment.

It wasnt -

If you think an RFB is incapable of more than 3 rd. 1 MOA you are incorrect.

I have pics - on two sequential targets, shot one after another, 7 rds., Norc and Hornady ammo. Superimposed they are 1 MOA.

Both targets were forum member witnessed - but trolls would probably say pics or it didnt happen or call the witnesses liars - or say 7 rds isn't enough.

Bottom line - the RFB is accurate, not 1/4 " ACCURATE - but accurate.
