Interesting feed back. A guy I know plinks, and hunts yotes with both a beneli 223, and a bar 243. He said the bar is much more accurate, with good ammo, but prefers the ammo price of the 223. i still believe that many people would buy them, if decently priced, (and half a--ed accurate) including some who would otherwise buy an AR. Maybe I will need to look at an AR, but hope not to.
skypilot, that is good ol typical arms manufacturer arrogance. Many do shoot well, but they could care a less if yours does.
I got no help from them(USA) other than send it in to Quebec(which is understandable).
I tried 300 rds of premium name brand 243 ammo, numerous scopes, bench, prone, etc., checked for forearm interference with barrel, yada yada....
I replaced it with a XCR-L to yote hunt with and have been extremely pleased with it.
