The Canik Rival is an awesome firearm. Fits well in the hand, shoots well and has the legendary Canik trigger. On top of that, it comes with all of the bells and whistles and you can completely customize it to fit your hand out of the box. As always, Bud's was very easy to work with and shipped the firearm promptly. Especially if you can get one while theyre doing a rebate, these things are a steal!
Wanted to wait to review until I actually took this to the range. I haven't gotten an optic for it, so I shot 60 rounds with the iron sights at 25, 50, and 150 yards. I also brought my M1A standard (with wooden stock and flash suppressor, bought and shot this one in NC but I now live in NY so that one had to have the magazine locked in but that has no other alterations). Recoil between the two was very similar. This review is for the NY Scout Squad M1a: The rubber buttplate on NY Scout squad was actually very comfortable. It was accurate with tight groups (around 1.5 inch spread at 50 yards with iron sights). It is MUCH shorter than I thought it was going to be, even with an 18" barrel. Standing upright it's about as tall as a ruger mini14 ranch. If you compare dimensions with other M1A models, it's actually overall shorter than the SOCOM and tanker models, with a longer barrel and exact same stock, which is the primary reason I got this in the first place. Because there's no "features" on the barrel or stock, it's remains NY compliant and still capable of taking removable magazines. I'm going to primarily use this for hunting black bear in the Adirondacks next season because it's absolutely solid - a little heavy but incredibly maneuverable due to it's size. I really enjoy this rifle.
Incredibly awesome revolver. It's large & heavy, which is something that I want considering the cartridge that it can shoot. Accurate and easy to shoot, although full .454 Casull loads are quite noticeably more powerful with more recoil. I've purchased several firearms from Buds and am very impressed with their service.
This us a great rifle for tree stand hunting. No bolt to get in the way and very compact due to the fact it is a single shot. Sighting it in from a bench rest I can get 1" groups at fifty yards with hand loads if I do my part. Some more great things are the comb height and lop are adjustable with the included spacers and the barrel is threaded. Fit and finish are good making it overall a very nice rifle. Buds did a great job with shipping it to my ffl dealer and it was in perfect condition when I received it.
I'm very pleased with this revolver. I bought it to add to my concealed carry options. It fits beautifully in a pocket holster and doesn't print at all. It holds 6 rounds instead of the usual 5 in a revolver of this size. The grip is comfortable and includes a notch for the little finger. I like the ammo options, including .32 S&W long, .32 H&R magnum, and .327 Federal magnum. The trigger is good in both single and double action. I love this revolver, and it's a great value, solid and well-made! A winner combined with Bud's excellent price and fast shipping.
Great gun Not much else out there at this price point that ticks all the boxes this does on an AR9 If you buy this, magpul mags run the best, stay away from ETS mags as they fail to feed Maxim RDB was a nice upgrade (make sure you install it correctly to avoid OOB) - alternatively a 10oz deadblow buffer is also a good upgrade Mine runs flawless - no failures yet Will be getting a suppressor and running subs on it soon
