Nobody else? I think I'll pass. With over 4K members/viewers on here at any given time during the day the lack of response is telling. I went to a local range yesterday and there was a gentleman there with a Core 15 (It may have been SVT StingRay). The only thing that wasn't factory was a Troy drop-in quad rail. Upon my first impression, the machining of the lower looked excellent and very high quality. Upper to lower fit was OK and the finsh on the upper and lower was excellent. Not as snug as I prefer, but not too loose. The finish on the barrel was glittery looking. It was not a normal phosphate finish and I didn't care for it. Overall though, the thing looked good and the owner was happy with it and put some decent patterns on paper at 80ft in the indoor range with irons. He also stated that it has ran fine for him. I'm not at all saying that the Core 15 is the best thing in its price range, but it seems like a decent offering. The following was copied and pasted from their site....

I've never handled their stuff and don't plan on it soly because their are better values out there on more proven weapons/parts.
However, after posting about Core in a thread roughly 8mo ago, I exchanged a few PMs with the owner and was impressed by the way he handled the semi-anti-Core thread and my comments. If it was a good deal I see no reason not to buy Core. It'd be cool if they had a big name shooter run one of their rifles through its paces. |
