I've never been a gun snob and never really poo poo anything but have never found KelTec to be something that really appeals to me. At least until now. I recently traded for a KelTec SU-16. Kind of a gimmicky AR/AK mishmashed polymer rifle with a foldable buttstock and hand guard that can double as a bipod.
Anyways I have been completely surprised and actually love the gun. The trigger is on par if not even better than most stock AR triggers I have fired. Even though the buttstock is foldable it is very sturdy and solid when extended. It is very light since it is mainly polymer, around 5 pounds or so. Comes with basic iron sights and a rail for a scope. Comes with a 10 rnd mag but can take any standard AR 20 or 30 rnd mag.
Despite the light weight of the gun there is very little recoil shooting .223. The rifle is plenty accurate even with the iron sights. At 40 yds with iron sights I kept 10 rnds within 4 inches at a rate of 1 round per second. Just enough to get back on target. 4 rounds within the size of a penny. Pretty dang good for shooting cheap tulammo in my opinion.
Sorry target got a little bit wet and messy because I waylayed some pumpkins for fun after I tested the accuracy.
All in all I believe this will be a fun, reliable, easily backpackable rifle that should last a while. Nutnfancy did a review on his which he's had for over 10 years and thousands of rounds through with no major issues or malfunctions. Gets a from me.
