I have the stag 9T.
It has more felt recoil than any of my compensated 223 AR's (Impact from the heavier bolt) but its far nicer to shoot as there is nowhere near the same noise and muzzle blast.
I can shoot it crazy fast and keep all the rounds on the target.
Do a search on Stag 9T on this forum and you will see my write-up on it.
I have had some ongoing issues (broken bolt catches) but NZGuns are working on sorting it.
I have no issues with the Colt mags. Buy a lula loader to save your thumb.
