Hi all, after some research around on a new boomstick to buy, I have seriously been considering buying a msg91 as my next rifle.
After a reasonable amount of research I just have a few questions for you all if you are willing:
Recoil: I am not really a wimp, but I was initially hoping my next rifle would be hurting my shoulder less than my saiga 12 and Garand, if you can give an estimate for how much recoil to expect, as well as possible methods to reduce it if needbe (muzzle breaks, springs etc).
Trigger:Most of my research tells me the trigger is nothing special, and could really use some work, and that Bill Springfield is the man to do it. If you have any reviews and/or opinions on this, I would love to hear a bit more about his turnaround time, quality, and need of the actual trigger work. (For example, my saiga 12 NEEDS to be converted for full enjoyment imo)
Milsurp: I emailed PTR about it and got a very fast response:
Fun: Last but probably most important, if there are any owners who read this, how much do you like to shoot your rifle, as this is probably the most important buying point for me in terms of a rifle for rec shooting.
Thanks in advance for your responses.

I understand the need for high quality ammo if I want to go for the sub-moa shots, but for general plinking, I would just like to know what should cycle well. (I also have 500 or so rounds of Chinese norinko 308 that if anyone has ever shot out of one of these guns, I would like to hear some success stories as well.Over the years through R&D, the use of new machinery and new processes we've been able to retain the excellent accuracy that we've always had and open up the ammo tolerance quite a bit. At this point all of our rifles, including the MSG-91, cycle most ammo you can find.
