I bought my PC about 4 months ago and just rescoped it with a Weaver Kaspa 3x12 with Burris one peice mount , I had a spare Ncstar 6x24 on it . I bought it because of the 2 stage Rock River trigger , 18" fluted barrel and match chamber . I have 2 Rock River in 223 . My reasoning for the not worth the extra $200 is because most people on this forum seem to be spray and pray with as much bulk ammo they can get for the best price . I rather shot prone off bipods at 100 yards and greater . It was worth the extra $ for me . I have not put mine to the test yet , when ever I get it out my 7 year old takes over . He can destroy a 2 liter at 50 yards . No disrepect to you and yours .
