Lucky! There was another guy here who was able to fit a Vortex UH1 on his, so every once in a while they seem to make one far enough off their "specs" to allow it LMAO. Think he had to take the mount apart before it could slide on the rail though.
Mine wasn't even close to being able to fit a Huey or any Eotech (tried 3 different models, literally took the rifle into CSC to find something that would fit and it was pure fail). I would have had to shave 1-1.5mm off of the mount or top of the receiver on mine. It also wouldn't fit the polymer Magpul BUIS, either. Couldn't depress the button far enough down for them to flip up, due to receiver interference.
Resorted to regular scope rings and a LPVO. It's the only rifle I've had that I don't miss. Overpriced mediocrity.

I had a bit of an issue with SL8 sights(extremely tight) but everything has worked so far. It is a sub 700 serial number. It’s brutal that the newer ones are worse in that regard

This looks to be almost everything the first one should have been.

Will this Gen 2 be more reliable now than the Ws-mcr? Consensus by most was, if looking to buy a Canadian ar180b, the MCR was it. Is this still the case or would you guys choose this Gen 2 now instead?

That's laughable.

The MCRs I've seen in person looked like they were made in a high-school machine shop.

Not to mention Kodiak has probably sold ten times as many rifles as Spectre.

I'm the oddball who liked his 1st gen, almost first off the line, wk180c.
I sold it to pay for a [redacted], so wouldn't mind having one again.

A primary arms 5x sight was the cat's meow on it.

It sort of seems like they're waiting until all of their Gen-1 rifles have been sold before they release the Gen-2.

Does anyone know if the Gen 2 will be available in the 7.62 caliber?

Discount the old stock and release the new already! My wallet is waiting haha

Those optics POSP and PO are great choices for mouse guns.
Fixed four power, good glass and eye relief, solid enough to club baby seals, comes with an AR appropriate height weaver mount included in the price, cheap 2032 batteries. You can even use the chevrons for 5.56 once you figure out what range they're appropriate for.

Where would one source such a beast with appropriate mount...?

Still a huge POS

Still a huge POS

That well informed opinion coming from all of your vast trigger time in a gen 2 WK?

 

[nelsonm64]

i own a second run WK. and, it’s far from a “POS”

So they have released the Gen 2?

 

[jpappy]

Any updates on release date?

I did the pre order and have been told around May is expected delivery. I never owned a first gen so I won't be able to compare them.

 

[Painkillers]

Meh, pass.

The fellows running the Quesnell Brutality had a WK Gen 2 sample they ran a number of rounds and did some basic rough dirt and snow testing with ( not full InRangeTV mud test or Garandthumb freeze water test).
