the grips aren't comfortable either and it makes my hand position weird.

Opposed to my bushmaster, I can't see anything about it off hand that would make it "better" all i see is negative about it.
Having owned one and shot both. An ion is better than a bushy. But an ion is not better than a promaster. The trigger has a great feel stock. New feedneck, reg, and barrel and you're set. But then again that is a big investment. As for grips, I really don't notice.

Older borgs (05/04) are kinda backheavy but balance perfectly over the snatch grip. The 06s are a lot more evenly weighted and they weigh only slightly more than an invert mini (invert is 1.99 lbs with everything stock, borg is just over 2lbs).
