I don't know too much about that rifle except Dave from 3GS, a local CO shooter rocks one and says he loves it. I do have the PST Gen II, and I bet your going to love it! So much better glass than the strike eagle I had previously, get a quick throw for it and your golden!

I actually ordered it through Dave, he gets a great price on them!

I am also coming from a strike eagle, new scope should be here tomorrow

I'm really impressed with it so far, the fit and finish are great, it's very lightweight, and I didn't expect to but I do like the drop-in trigger that it has.

The only negative so far is the Ambi safety is full size on the week hand side which just doesn't work with my grip so I'll have to change that out

Yes it's the MBA-1, I had one on my previous rifle as well. I've tried the MOE fixed stock as well as multiple collapsible stocks. I'm 6'3" with a long reach and this is really the only stock that I can get long enough to have my eye relief where I want it with out going stupid expensive.

It’s about a 3.5hr drive from here in CT.
