Bottom Line
My entrance into this testing was somewhat reluctant. Seeing it work helped, but my previous experience colored my enthusiasm. That ended about two magazines into the testing. This rifle works as well as any out there, while losing a couple pounds of weight. It is perfect for those with shoulder or back issues, or anyone that understands the toll a couple pounds can take. A couple pounds is not much, until about a mile into a five- or ten-mile ruck or hike. Maybe the best part is the price: the Titanium model retails for $2,295, while other versions rail for as little as $1,795. Standard ARs from major manufacturers without the weight savings cost as much or more, while comparable ultra-light AR’ can demand double the price. If you’re looking for a great rifle that just happens to be built to custom standards, this is an excellent choice, and the fact it weighs only 5 pounds is a bonus!
