Great Quaility AR
Posted by Matt Down South on May 22nd 2023
Very happy with this rifle. Ruger is known for quality products and great customer service. You can buy the AR556 with confidence. The value is really there for this rifle. I manage 1 to 1.5 MOA groups easily when benching this rifle and doing my part. No stoppages of any kind through hundreds of rounds. The 11 inch MLOK rail looks good and functions as it should. I’ve got a light and switch etc on it and still plenty of room for my hands. The shorter rail keeps the weight down on the front of the rifle compared to the Ruger MPR and other AR’s with 13 to 15 inch MLOK rails. The lighter up front weight is great for maneuvering with the rifle but be warned the barrel will be HOT after a few hundred rounds and there is more of it exposed to touch. That’s the only negative, and it’s not a big enough deal to knock off stars. You can pay more for an AR-15 but that doesn’t necessarily equate to getting more quality/ durability. For the every day shooter and person wanting a good rifle to defend life, family, property, and liberty this is a great buy and you won’t have buyer’s remorse. 5 stars for ImpactGuns. Best gun seller in the U.S. Great prices and great communication from the staff.

The Beretta 686 Silver Pigeon from gunzest.com is a fine shotgun. The 28-inch barrels in 12-gauge pattern at 30 yards. The walnut stock is elegant, and the recoil pad softens the kick. The silver finish is stunning. The website’s support was helpful.

The Glock 22 Gen 4 from Gunzest is a reliable choice for duty use. The 4.49-inch barrel handles .40 S&W rounds with ease, grouping within 2 inches at 20 yards. The textured grip offers a secure hold, even with sweaty hands, and the interchangeable backstraps let me customize the fit. The dual recoil spring system reduces felt recoil, improving control during rapid fire. The nPVD finish has held up well against holster wear, and the 15-round magazine capacity is ideal for extended sessions. The delivery process was smooth, with clear instructions for the FFL transfer.

The CZ P-10C from gunzest.com is a compact 9mm winner. The 4.02-inch barrel groups shots within 2 inches at 15 yards. The ergonomic grip fits well, and the night sights aid low-light use. The nitrided slide resists scratches. The website’s support and shipping were top-notch.

The Benelli Vinci from Gunzest is a lightweight shotgun. The 28-inch barrel in 12-gauge patterns at 35 yards. The synthetic stock is durable, and the in-line inertia system reduces recoil. The Realtree finish blends well, and the delivery was fast.

The Sig Sauer P320 XFive earns a 4.5-star rating for its 1-inch groups at 25 yards and flat trigger. The 17-round magazine is great. I docked half a star due to the bulky frame.
