SOCOM 16 review by Andrew on July 19, 2008

4 of 5 stars

I had a Scout with an 18 inch barrel. The rifle was very accurate. However, I really liked the looks of the 16 inch SOCOM so I traded it in. I got the SOCOM 16 II. It came with an upper and lower rails. The stock on my rifle was an after market ones made by Vltor. Its got a collapsable stock and a pistol grip. The first time I fired the SOCOM 16, at an indoor range of about 50 yards away, I was not too impressed with the accuracy. Unlike my Scout, I was able to put three round group shots with the holes touching each other just by using the iron sights. My SOCOM 16 was kind of spread. I took the rifle again at the same range this time and shot at the same distance. This time, I focused more on breathing and trigger pull. I had difficulty concentrating on the bullseye due to the front sight being a little thick. I shot better this time and was able to hit the bullseye every shot. It was not as tight at the Scouts'. But I think this was due to the front sight being thick. I think that if I replace the front sight with a thinner one just like the Scout, I believe that this rifle will shoot just as tight. The recoil is very light, feels like and AR. But the bark is very loud. I LOVE this rifle. If I had to go into battle, this would be my choice. I'm a former ARMY soldier and is now a police officer for 12 years. I've fired multiple rifles and pistols. This would be my choice. It's worth the price. :)

I purchased this rifle a couple months ago. I just took this rifle to the range today. This is an amazing piece of engineering. It's equivalent to shooting a .223 cal.. WOW... accuracy with iron sights, and a bear market punch!
