K16

Product Review (submitted on January 30, 2014):

Model K16 - Very accurate with .223 and 5.56 fmj or jhp ammo. Heavy 16" barrel with freefloat tube contributes a lot to accuracy. Prefer 1-9" twist for what I shoot. Velocity is still 3000+ with 16" barrel and has been deadly on varmints and wild hogs out to 400 yds with 6.5X20x scope. Can not be beat for price and quality. I did drop in a Timiney 4 lb. trigger. Factory trigger good but Timiney needed for the 3/4" 5-shot groups. Heavy barrel heat is not a problem - never shoot more than 5 in a session and clean barrel after 20. I only shoot domestic made quality ammo and do not mess with anything over 55 grains - no tracers, steel core, military, import ammo. Favorite factory ammo that shoots great is the Remington 55 gr. and handload is a near max. load of IMR 4198 pushing a Nosler 50 gr. BT out of the short barrel for 3050 fps. Both loads shoot to same poi. Had this K16 for 6 years and keep it clean and oiled and protect the muzzle. Plan to have it forever.
