Sionics

So for whatever reason I’ve never really looked into sionics until today, and after I did I am lowkey dumbfounded.

To all of those people asking about what would be the best rifle money can get for a starter gun? Their premium rifle line is the most insane value I’ve ever seen especially considering how many gun brands have gone up and up. Now I have no experience with them whatsoever, maybe some of yall can chime in.

But just to talk on a few points I noticed in their premium lineup.

11.5-12.5-14.5 the literal only lengths for a gpr that matter for 99% of most people, okay great.

Handguard, while I am a quad guy at heart, they are using the drive lock/wedge whatever the hell it is, super super solid lockup with great strength. (Also used by sons, hodge, and g$ I think?) anti rotation fins as well.

Barrel, CHF, chrome lined, phosphated after with polished feed ramps (what other gun sub 1500 msrp has this outside of crazy DD sales maybe?)

Properly sized gas ports, the 12.5 is mid gassed which is awesome. Np3/chrome carrier I think? Properly staked ocks key? Dude this is a seriously high quality build.

A5 buffer system from the factory.

The only “downside” is it isn’t ambidextrous (if you even care) and it is a milspec trigger (at their price you could easily upgrade).

This brand really seems to be going places. For 1500 bucks you are getter a rifle that is built like a mk1, a super duty, a Daniel.

At least on paper looking at this. It is easily by far the best “budget” rifle out there. But the quality of what they are doing is anything but budget when compared to what this gun punches up at.

Anyone care to share experience with their rifles?
The only reason I thought to share this is because it seems like every other day someone posts about what to do for their first build and honestly this seems like a home run for those folks, but honestly may even be the biggest value grab out currently
