Has anyone fired this rifle. What is the group's opinion of it.

I borrowed one from a buddy and shot about 60 to 70 rounds through it.

First let me say I have a LOT of experience shooting AR's in 223, H&K's in 223, Steyr AUG's in 223, Galils in 223, and 308, AK's, H&K 91's, FN-FAL's M14's, M1 Garands, Valmets, and several other battle rifles...

The Keltec shot good. It did seem to have more right/upchuck/ in its recoil. But it is a LOT shorter than any other 308/7.62.

AS it is a bullpup, it is by design more of a closed system. So if you have a malfinction, or get "dirt" into the system it is harder to clear.
I found the trigger to be VERY GOOD, actually AWSOME. For a battle rifle it might even be "too light", that is how good a trigger it was.
The rifle handled very good. It was very compact, very ergonomic, a most "usefull system".

I would like to have a few thousand rounds through one, before I gave it my PERSONAL "thumbs up",[I am conservative in such matters], but I do think it is a system worth a hard look.

I just read that they are going into full production should make it easier to find one to check out. Right now they come with either an 18 or 24 barrel. should be interseting to see how they perform.

full production means back to MSRP by chrismas (not data... that is excited hopeful pure speculation)

huh What do you mean by that comment?

i mean i WANT one and i want it to be close to MSRP, rather than double, and I want it by xmas -- and everything i said was basis my wants, as I have no data confirming

Ooooohhh I have been looking for a couple of years to hold one let along buy it.

Same here. I'm holding off on an AR-10 until I see if these rifles come down to at least MSRP. I want one of their twin magazine shotguns too.

Man go ahead and get a 10 you will not be disapointed but the rfb will be good for the truck and it is lighter than a 10

Trouble with keltec products is they come up with some good ideas but getting them to work properly is a problem for them.

I've seen some of their junk too. So far this one seems to be a performer.

I know I am looking forward to seeing and possibly buying one....just as long as it is made in America and not farmed out to Jong Kow Sun.

Color me extremely interested---

That's what always put me off keltec...

Good ideas but they seems to try and make them on the cheap.

Anyone ever actually tested out one of the bullpup shotguns? That looks interesting to me.

On youtube there are some videos in the nutnfancy project, where they shoot the KelTec shotgun.

Thanks, 450. I've seen the video, but was curious to hear from folks who have actually shot the thing. Based on some of the comments above, my concern is whether the video was a "Take 3". They seem to be selling like hotcakes (or there are production problems) as everyone's out of stock -- big difference.

as a left handed 308 gun nut, I am ready to go.

Anybody have any recent news?

these starting to show up more often?
