I'll take whatever positive I can get Gunny. Also, before I decided to scope it, I figured a slightly longer iron site set-up would help with accuracy also.
I also, just like the look of the rifle. I do however have the SGC which I love as a rimfire carbine.

I know. Old habits die hard, and I used to get paid pretty good for playing with numbers. ;)

Either model is a worthy addition to anyone's gun safe. That said, the carbine caught my eye when it came out and I had to have it.
Every time I take it out I like it more and more. It's a good, consistent shooter, light and fast handling. Nobody who picks it up doesn't like it.
When they shoot it they are all smiles, just like me. I'd choose it again in a heartbeat.
If you like the large loop, it's a no-brainer.

Conax, the lever is easy to change out if you prefer the standard one.

I prefer the large loop. I would have had to buy one for the rifle if it didn't come with it, hence, a no-brainer for me.
I take the lever off every time it needs cleaned to get the bolt out of the way.

Remember, it's not how many guns you have. It's how many bullets you have.
