    My new N4 Basic

    Wasn't planning on getting anything new for awhile, but as things have it, circumstances weren't as bad as they first appeared and finances freed up. That being the case, I picked up a N4 Basic on Tuesday. Hope to get out this weekend to wring it out. I have to say that these rifles are very very nice. I will be sure to follow up with a report.

    Looks good, I see your on the job. Sometimes you have to buy good work gear and figure out the finances later.

    Very nice Ryan. Please post the range report once you have taken it out.

    Tagged! Would like to see a range report of at least a 100 yards shot groups.

    Didn't have a lot of time today, but I was able to make it to the range. Didn't have a chance to see how it grouped, just a quick sight in at 50 yards. Based upon that fact, I am not comfortable yet on commenting about just how accurate I believe this rifle is. Additionally, as I was limted to 250 rounds, I can't really comment yet on overall reliablity, however, I have absolutely no problems to report. I did run several drills quiet hard and it was actually sort of boring. Put dot on target, pull trigger, bang, repeat as necessary.

    I will tell you that I have a very strong feeling, if all goes as I think it will, that I might just be a full fledged convert to Noveske from Colt after the premilinary testing is completed. Noveske has a winner here and you get a lot for the money.

    The other day I dropped the new Daniel Defense Omega Rail onto the Novekse Basic carbine, and I have to admit that I liked it even more than I thought I would. There is something about a fixed FSB that I like, but that could be because I carry one in a similar configuration every day.

    I'd like to see some pics if you don't mind. Despite my best intentions to keep this rifle simple, I can't help but toy with the idea of putting an Omega Rail on it.

    Very nice pic. Stickman. Congrats, Ryan, on the new shooter. I am conflicted whether to buy this rifle or build my own from the ground up.
