Noveske N4 Recon

Bazooka green is my favorite Cerakote color ever.

[@wisemencompany]

Its the best color.

[@l337l0gan]

The other companies that try to pull it off don't do it as good either! It looks good, but nothing like noveske!

[@simplybaran3377]

Hell yeah 😎

[@Argentum7756]

I think above all else, Noveske is really good people and I cannot emphasize that enough. They take care of people and have excellent customer support. They have been hamstrung the last few years with supply chain issues which is really hurting their brand. Especially as PacNor burned down last year who supplies their barrel blanks. But I will always be grateful for them showing up to Rally for 2A rights in Oregon with Radian. Sometimes you cannot put a price tag on the important intangibles.

[@nickconnor8756]

If they took care of the people there prices wouldn’t be so high

[@wisemencompany]

I can confirm that this gun flat out runs.

[@MattH-wg7ou]

I am a proud owner of a complete from Noveske Gen 1 N4 Light Recce with Switchblock and Noveske's double chrome lined barrel. Came with an awesome Vltor Upper and stock. AAC Blackout 51T flash hider, BCM Gunfighter charging handle, no ambi, SWS/Noveske quad rail, middie gas, Troy/Noveske flip up sights, and Tango Down grip (changed to BCM for the angle). An old-school Noveske and I LOVE it! On my "never sell" list. But I agree it is not lightweight! And not inexpensive! But its my bottom bish!

[@rascalmatt6713]

My screen icon is literally a picture of a 0.4" five shot group i shot with my Noveske 18" SPR rifle . The bullets were 77 grain Razor Core OTM's, not hand loads. The trigger is a Hyperfire Eclipse single stage trigger and the grip is also Hyperfire. Scope is a Vortex Viper PST Gen 2, 5-25x50 with EBR 7C reticle. Gotta love that fine floating center dot. I routinely shoot under 3/4" MOA with all the above. When i get a chance i'll have to see how it does with some 55 and 62 grain stuff. I think i have some 69 grain and 75 grain stuff laying around as well. I've hit a milk jug at 1,000 yards with the above set up in about 3 shots as well and plan on going for a soda can at 1,000 yards in 10 shots when the weather clears up and the snow melts.I have a hard time believing these horrible groups are legit. Who knows. Maybe the quality control of the barrel making has gone down hill ? I simply can't believe that. Gotta be the shooter and or the ammo. I can't believe a SS barrel on a Noveske rifle would shoot that poorly.

[@rascalmatt6713]

I'm thinking of actually posting some videos... i finally got a good spotting scope and tripod and new Iphone 13MaxPro. Just need to find something i can mount the phone to the spotting scope with.

[@wallerwhittemore6563]

I was thinking the same thing, I have a gen I and gen III recon and both shoot sub moa with just about any ammo I put into it. Could be partly due to that barrel being really fouled up, that thing was dirrrttttttyyyy

[@rascalmatt6713]

@@wallerwhittemore6563 Yeah, who knows. What trigger was he using ? Trigger, ammo... wind.... not using a bubble level even.... could all have some kind of affect on accuracy during a 100 yard grouping. Scope too of course. I like scopes with floating center dots.

@@thegolflife7565 I’m no career shooter or gunsmith. But I went with an adjustable gas block (Superlative Arms). Only reason is because I pinned and welded my muzzle, and also plan to go suppressed.

Finally got my NFA to go through. Noveske N4, 14.5" with the KX5 Pig. All black though. Rather had green or FDE. Not complaining!

[@wbsbraden4]

I'm surprised at the accuracy. 1.5-2.5 MOA isn't acceptable with a price tag above 2K. Its also odd that its a 1/7 and grouped better with 55 grain.

A question for you Noveske guys, I just purchased a Noveske 16" CHF steel Recon/Recce barrel. What can I expect for accuracy and will steel cased Wolf be a problem with this barrel? I know Noveske doesn't recommend steel cased ammo but my Colt eats it like a pez dispenser.

[@dawsoncota3845]

I know it’s late but if you are still wandering I would expect sub Moa, and as for the steel ammo it should be fine only reason they don’t recommend it is for warranty reasons which is understandable

[@SlickSlack4pac]

@@dawsoncota3845 I only have about 200 rounds through the new barrel and It performed very well. I wasn't testing for accuracy just zeroing my Aimpoint back to 36 yards and plinking some steel.

Not him but it’s a solid trigger. Not amazing though. And for a noveske that’s like ~2500 you should get a better trigger (still love noveske though) Check out the larue MBT, it’s priced specifically as a fuck you to Geissele. It’s trigger face is a little wider but no big deal. If you don’t really care, I’d say throw it in the 300 and get a better trigger for the 6mm.
