Ironically, what I modded the gun into is nearly identical to what they\u2019re selling now.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nLightening up the front end was a good move, as the Honey Badger stock doesn\u2019t offer a lot of counter balance, and the receivers are already a little \u201cchonky.\u201d<\/p>\nNight vision, .300 BLK and the Ghetto Blaster.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nI\u2019ve hiked all over Oregon with this gun.\u00a0 I\u2019ve run red dots, an ACOG and the factory irons.\u00a0 I\u2019ve been using the Ghetto Blaster as the test gun for every type of .300 BLK ammo I review, as well as mags and optics. I\u2019ve dropped a few coyotes under night vision (attacking chickens) and a mule deer at 200 yards.<\/p>\nThe .300 BLK does the job on the vitals on game and predators alike.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nWhile \u201ctruck gun\u201d could certainly apply with the amount of time this gun has spent in my Hilux, the truth is it\u2019s become my go-to gun in every way. Hunting, home defense and keeping the property clear of pests.<\/p>\nThe truth, my modified Noveske Ghetto Blaster has become my go-to gun in every way.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nWere I to change anything regarding the factory<\/em> Ghetto Blaster setup, it would probably be the one thing least like to happen.\u00a0 I\u2019d have V Seven Weapons Systems do an ultralight run of these receivers in their 2055 lithium-aluminum alloy, cutting a large chunk of weight.<\/p>\nBottom Line<\/h2>\n This is the gun I wish I had when I was driving through Baghdad and clearing houses with in Afghanistan. Compact, reliable, and in a caliber that\u2019s as effective from a short package as it is versatile. Rumors of a loss of quality at Noveske haven\u2019t shown up in this gun at all.\u00a0 While I (obviously) had a few things I wanted to change from the factory .223, 16-inch barreled setup, what I changed the gun into is nearly identical to what Noveske is offering.<\/p>\n
Now for the hard part. The closest offering is Noveske\u2019s 7.94\u2033 barreled SBR, which runs $3150-3,400<\/a> depending on options. That\u2019s up almost $1,000 since I received this rifle a few years ago. Even those who live by \u201cbuy once, cry once\u201d are going to have a hard time shelling out $3K+ for a gun, but I\u2019m sure Noveske knows what they\u2019re doing.<\/p>\nRead more articles and reviews by Jens \u201cRex Nanorum\u201d Hammer<\/a> or follow him on Instagram @Rexnanorum<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
