It is exceptionally better . I went from a Combat Machine to VFC hk 416 and was a bit disappointed in performance in that it was roughly the same , though externals were exceptional . After going from that to Krytac it ' s just on a different level . Externals aren ' t quite as good as VFC but much better than GG , and performance is just amazing for a stock gun . If you ' re not really satisfied with your Combat Machine , and it ' s in your budget , I ' d definitely recommend a Krytac . Realized in all of that I didn ' t mention how it ' s betterAccuracy is much better . I don ' t really know how to quantify it , but it shoots noticeably straighter . Trigger response is amazing . Haven ' t tested range yet as I play mostly CQB but it reaches 100 ft perfectly . I ' m going to Operation Overwatch in a couple weeks and can update you after that . It feels really nice . It ' s made of nice metal , the rail is slim and comfortable to hold , the MK 2 grip is very comfortable , and the stock is fantastic .
