Anyone have any experience with this gun? Been looking at a .17 and the semi-auto interests me but I know there can be cycling issues.

I have an $800 gift card so that is why I am looking there. I also saw this Bergara with a threaded barrel

Alexander Arms makes a badass semi auto in AR platform. Has been reliable as hell for me. No cycling issues

Was there an $800 gift card giveaway the rest of us missed?

You give me the Cabela's gift card, and then you're free to purchase a firearm from any other retailer.

I have a B-17 and it shoots lasers (for a 17). great trigger, too.

I have an A-22 and the trigger sucks sasquatch nuts. So frustrating. Maybe the A-17 is better, though.

I have an A-17 and it's killed everything from coke cans to coyotes to 150 lb pigs.

Edit to correct to A-17, not A-22.
