Kel-Tec RFB

[Metalhead]

So we got a RFB in last week. Awsome, been waiting for one of those for a long, long time. Come into work the next day to put a price on it and stick it out for sale and what do you know, my brother took it home.

:mad:

dang...get us a price tag and range report!

Do want! Need price!

Rifle looks pimptastic. Only one on GB, 3 days left already very expensive.

Am I the only one wary of dropping $2,000+ on a Kel-Tec?

I mean, for that price you'd up near the Steyr Aug range - hopefully i'm just being too critical haha

Well for what it's worth, the gun feels very solid.

This the one? I've been looking at these online and was curious how they feel as far as build quality, solidness.

If it only came in 762X39!

My understanding is street value was expected to be $1400-1500 even though retail is somewhere around $2000. Anybody seen any real numbers on retail and dealer cost? Maybe once the "new" wears off they will be more reasonable. I'd probably be real interested at $1400.

Edit: I just noticed a couple dealers online advertising them for $1399 and $1453 for the 18" barrel model.........very attractive pricing. They are out of stock though.

Aye I was thinking about $1395 from looking at the invoice we had on it.

Look at it this way, if a customer took it home you couldnt shoot it. Now you can blast away.

I zeroed one for Oleg Volk at the Hero Gear shoot. I put about 40 rounds through it.

Not a bad rifle, just not an efficient design for shooting with a scope. I was using my ACOG TA-01NSN and it was recoiling back into my shooting glassed almost every shot because of the short eye relief.

An Aimpoint or Eo-Tech would be acceptable for this package, but not anything that required you to get up close and personal with it.

Recoil wasn't horrible, but wasn't soft in the least. The trigger sucked actually using it. Dry firing it felt okay, but live firing it had a ton of creep and felt like I was dragging it through gravel, along with the being unable to really feel when it would break. Somewhere around 8-10 lbs is what the pull felt like when the hammer dropped.

I wanted one until I shot it. Not anymore, think I will pass.
