New purchase suggestions Alas the gun market keeps drying up in Canada but the hunger for a new firearm always remains. Wanted to get a semiauto rifle, was wondering which one would be the better option out of the FX9 and Keltec RDB. FX9 is what im leaning towards as bulpups have the action right next to your ear and i dont really find it pleasant plus trigger, malfunction clearing etc. however the look of the rdb looks very nice. Just wondering what yall think is the better option in terms of fun, value and customizations. Thanks

FX9 is a 9mm pistol caliber carbine. The RDB is a bullpup 5.56. Quite dissimilar. I have shot the RDB, and it is an interesting gun. However, as a target shooting gun, it isn't very good. Probably better por action shooting. A major drawback is that there is no way to inspect the chamber.
