There's not alot of factory guns that couldn't benefit or see some improvement with a custom barrel, and I think it speaks volumes of the design that it can get 1/4 with just a barrel upgrade. Jury's still out on mine but I have faith.

I agree, I use my fore end for a bipod and sling mount. I'm not going to buy a $5k clip on NV imager for my $900 gun. Someone might but I'd expect them to have a slightly better rifle to put it on.

I think alot of people expected way more out of this gun than they should have.
