Well a local joint here got some interesting flat top models in. They're short is the biggest difference I can see, and they have short "shrouds". I've got a bit of store credit going on and a coupon so getting one would put my out of pocket at about $180. That's cheap enough for a cheap gun and it's more to the point and financially doable than building what I want on a 702 like I did with my bullpup. But I got a couple questions, first...
First, and foremost, the thing is plastic. I just held it for a few minutes so I don't know how well it's made...it just feels like really cheap plastic. Don't read that as a complaint...I'm an advocate of you get what you pay for...but it raises some questions on resiliency. Will the rails hold up to me installing and removing a scope rather frequently? Does the plastic gouge or warp when the clamps are put to it? I do change scopes rather frequently and need to know in advance if I'm going to have to make other arrangements.
Second, and really all I have right now, has anyone managed to clean up the forward area any? Having a long quad rail sounds awesome if I'm going to fill it with accessories...but I'm not. I'm not going to have anything up there...and a rail with nothing on it is just ugly.
