Misc FakeOG on the Turkey shooter

Post image

It's just a range toy, but lots of fun. Haven't fired it with the cheapo ACOG on it yet, but looking forward to it.

The gun or the optic? Gun runs great. Simple action so no ftf, fte with Federal or PMC. The gun has its shortcomings. Top one is that the mag can be over inserted when the action is open. I had a friend nitpick the shit out of it, but for 900 clams you can only expect so much. Fun range toy. Would I trust it in a home invasion? Maybe. Only maybe. 😄

Ah fuck for 900$ I would expect better! Hell my Ruger PC Carbine (RIP) ran unbelievable well and only for 700$

What does one cost today? When will you be taking yours out to shoot next?

u/FroBro243 28d ago

LOL fair enough. Since they got banned, I think they are going for around 600 USD, so around 950cdn(?)

I was yanking your chain. Sorry if I came across like an A hole. Yeah, these things aren't cheap. The manufacturers know that our options are limited and they're not giving anything away.

All is well! Haha I have tons of Glock mags so I've been looking at a different Carbine option. Even the bolt action version of this peeked my interest.

I'm new to 9mm so I don't know what I missed out on. I'm having fun with this in the mix. I have a small private range and host a few shoots every year for family. Lots of .22 plinking paper and steel, but we work our way up to .357. 38SPL and 9mm are fun stops along the way. I love sharing my guns.

That sounds like a pretty preem set up! Yea, prior to the OIC BS, I had loads of time with the Kriss Vector, Skorpion Evo, Sig MPX and Beretta CX4 Storm. Those all made my PC Carbine look quaint in comparison. Still have a pistol and revolver in 9mm though.

Nice!! Hang in there and let's hope for the best in the court case.

Is the bolt action $900 too?

1

u/FroBro243 28d ago

I THINK it was less, but don't quote me on that. I saw a post on CGN, I think it was 699.99$

Henry Homesteader 👍 won't regret it, and only a couple hundred more than this one

u/FroBro243 27d ago

My biggest concern with the Homesteader is the reliability. I have read/watched some pretty mixed reviews. There is also the fear of it getting the ol' ban hammer, but not something I haven't been through before.

Hit 3k rounds the other night and still no failures to eject, extract or light strikes. Only issue i had is the little rear sight set screw falling out, which was warrantied with one email.

Couldnt be happier with it so far.

Well that's decent to hear. I remember when they first came out, they had some rocky reviews. Maybe I'll keep an eye out for one.

Love that Henry. I really thought that it would be banned cuz it's semi-auto. I enjoy manual actions, so this is ok. I wish they made one that looks more like the Homesteader though.
