John,
What are you going to do with 14 Armadas? :D
PS: ITAR warning is that from the included scope or licensed products? ;)

Well after a day and a half it does not look like the Armada is setting any record sales!
I would have guessed when the 1st 50 went up for sale they would have been gone in the 1st day.
I almost pulled the trigger at 8 am yesterday to see if I could get Serial #1 to match my Serial #1 25 cal. SynRod but at a $1000 I passed on it.

The price tag will probably be the death of this rifle. For just a little more than $1k you can get allot more rifle than an mrod with AR-15 furniture compatibility. I know it is still going to appeal to people and will sell but it will not sell as much as it could if there would have been some other changes to make it a different rifle and not just an mrod in a different dress. There could have been so much else done or added to the rifle to push it to the $1k + price tag.

Sales would've been better if it would've been in the 700-800 dollar range.
It's hard to justify paying 1K for a .22 Mrod in a pretty dress, when there are other guns such as the RSII 3D that are just as tactical, more compact, can be had in big bore calibers thus more powerful & still cost less.
But some will still like it enough to shell out the price they're asking, & that's probably all that matters to them anyway
