My cousin has one and loves it. My honest opinion is nearly ANY of the new AR's are going to perform very comparable and most of us are not good enough to know the difference while firing them. With this said, I do realize we might have some competition shooters around here that would be the exception to this thought process. Personally, if I were buying new, Remington, S&W, Rock River, or a couple others would not scare me at all. I think they would all perform how they should and do what I would use them for. Just my 2cent.
