Shoots like a pussy cat. I was expecting more recoil. either I forgot what recoil is or my gun is too heavy. Nitro "Man is a predator or at least those of us that kill and eat our own meat are.

I think about 8.5 lbs which is heavy for an AR. Nitro "Man is a predator or at least those of us that kill and eat our own meat are. The rest are scavengers, eating what others kill for them."

One buffalo is probably not a great test, but I's a heads up at least. I borrowed one in a bolt gun for my grandson and he shot a big cow bison with it more than a few times and it was not very impressive on the big bovine. I had to track it for several miles in a blizzard sweeping the snow with a bush to find the frozen blood. All shots were in the lungs. Sooo for whatever its worth. I think it just needs more velocity to perform on the larger animals and admittedly I'm not that forgiving on a caliber or rifle, about one failure and I won't make that mistake twice, right or wrong.

Will be used on charging ground hogs. Hogs and dogs. And any young lads who believe that they have a right to date my daughter.
