I mounted a Burris RT-1 sight on my Hellion and it's been a tack driver.

So cool looking. Definitely jealous.

If only I could afford it

 

[ddeuce22]

Damn man she's a beaut.

Sell the kids shoes, the Glocks, Caniks, the better half’s pearls she only wears every 5 yrs and buy a gun

Ew Glock

I actually just traded my savage that I couldn’t afford to equip to get a Saint

If the Hellion happens to push that M1A out of the safe because there’s not enough room I know a guy that could “store” it for you.
Enjoy that Hellion.

 

[Annihilator]

Very nice pickup killer, congrats!

I’m out of room.
I’ve started leasing space from @BET7

So, I just learned the “fluke” of this rifle.
No bolt hold open

You have to stick your finger in the mag well while you hold the bolt back with the charging handle and “push up” a part of the rifle to hold it open

That is a weird as hell(ion) wtf afterthought of a design

Good luck with your new toy!

It’s a well known Turkish design. Isn’t that why you bought it.

Having an empty mag inserted will keep the bolt open also.

Public ranges want an open bolt, no mag when you go downrange to hang a target..

Overcome-able, but bad design flaw

@SimonRL must be rubbing off a little.

If I buy a Canik, the world is coming to an end

“M1A, All the Way!”

But seriously, post what you think of it when you get to shoot it.
I’d like to hear what’s good, and the not so good.
Kinda been considering one myself. Versus a Saint Victor.
