I don’t know much about this weapon but 850 bucks for a .223 with magazines sounds pretty good.
As far as O’dingo goes, he can get bent.
MSRP is $839. A friend of mine bought one a few years ago. It's a decent, bare-bones AR clone that comes with a folding Magpul rear sight and standard A2 post up front. S&W keeps the cost down somewhat as it does not have a forward assist and the only chromed components are the gas key and bolt carrier.
