I love my AIAT, it’s my favorite rifle. The quick change barrel is is awesome, I have several different length 6.5 CM and .308 barrels. An Allen wrench is all that is neded to change barrels. I believe I paid about $4300 several years ago. It is worth every penny. I have/had Remington bolt...
I’ve used Henry Calvert several times, always a good experience. He had a regular job during the day when I last used him for a transfer several years ago, so he was only doing FFL work at night.
I took my new USP Combat Competition straight to the range and had a few failures to eject and feed. I took it home and cleaned it well and lubed it. I have had zero issues since then.
The factory grease looked more like a protectant than a lube.
I recommend renting as many guns as you can before deciding on a purchase. I really wanted an XD45 when they came out. I rented an XD45, HK45 and Glock 21.
I bought the HK45 because it felt best in my hand, had the least recoil and shot like a laser. The Glock was a close second. The XD...
That gun had less than 100 rounds through it, I know because it was mine! It was a great gun but I have too many other ARs and it was gathering too much dust in the safe. Mark and the guys made me a great trade, I can't say enough good things about them.
I have a Vector V94 SBR that had a crooked barrel, they canted the sight to make up for it. I sent it back 3 times before they built me a new gun.
They put too many Zeros in the serial number on the new gun so it had to go back a fourth time.
This was back when the "new" Vector took...
I combined 2 non-trust guns and 1 trust gun on my 5320.20 and put my name on the form, I didn't mention the trust. I received the approved form this week.
I didn't think about mentioning the trust until after I mailed the form. Apparently there is no consistency at he ATF, :lol2:
I own both. I'd give the edge for optical clarity to the Leupold. As others have mentioned, the reticle on the Viper is very fine. Might be an issue for older eyes.
I haven't had any issues with either brand, i have 8 Leupolds and 2 Vipers.
