If you're gonna buy an ACR, wait another 4 mos. or so and they'll probably be down to $1500-$1600 NIB by then for the basic. I paid $2000 for my enhanced and that was a deal at the time I bought it. |
So is the M-16, and you can get the civilian versions of that a lot cheaper than the SCAR, and there isn't much advantage range-wise between the two. Which is why our SpecOps command dropped plans to buy a bunch of the 5.56 SCARs to replace their M4s/M16s. (plus the M16 is lighter) They are still buying the 7.62 (SCAR H) version, which is what I would love to get eventually. A lot more range and force on the 7.62
