Im just going to link that vid when these discussions come up now. Covers a lot of bases nicely and I type slow . Thanks.

I have always had mixed feelings about the semi custom market. About the only one Id pop for is probably an EB Cobra Carry. But back to the SC market, prices can get so close to full customs, I cant help but feel why not go full custom at that point and get EXACTLY what you want.

You shouldnt tempt me like that man! Hmmmm rifle for me or gifts for the family? Rifle for me or gifts for the family? Rifle for me or gifts for the family? Rifle for me or gifts for the family?

Im not one for boutique calibers. Been down that road. BUT the 300blk is the first one Ive seen to get it right by making sure reasonably priced ammo is available.The other thing they got right was the minimum change and investment to get into it. As a result it got a lot of traction. The other thing to understand is that it is damn near a perfect entry weapon for mil and LE. HK parts are near impossible to find for subguns which makes them crazy expensive to maintain. This is why you are seeing departments shed them left and right. A suppressed 300blk in the same size footprint as an MP5 and pennies on the dollar to maintain..... its a win. And it is why that tool is being aquired for that type of mission. Sooooo, like I said, Ill take that bet

Hehehe

There you go with those blanket statements again...

I'll take that bet.

Mark my words, these AR's at this price is going to turn into an issue. My advice, if you have access, get it right now.

Yaknow, I have no idea why I said a different bolt LOL. I think it was a habitual answer for another caliber I used to discuss a lot.

BTW, the person you responded too, I happen to know has owned AK's and currently owns more than one 308 semi, more than one 5.56 semi and is on essentially his second 300blk build. So it is an opinion with some experience behind it.

Yer off base there Rachel Ray. A 308 will not give the average user the light weight and fast follow up shots a 300 blk will. Exactly who makes a sub 7lb 308 carbine? Only 1 2 components are is different. The bolt and the barrel. Everything else I own for an ar is still in play and I can swap back and forth for less than the cost of a cheap pos version of an AK. 300 blk solves many problems, some alreay listed. Now I will agree it solves less problems for those of us trapped behind enemy lines in the PR of NJ but over in America, an SBR'd suppressed 300 is a pretty impressive system. But even here in NJ one that will reliably run subs is frankly fun to shoot and would easily be my choice over ANY pistol caliber based carbine rifle platform. The fact I have buckets of 5.56 brass and a lathe means Ive got a ton of reloading components for both.

The one scary thing is som super expensive parts like mentioned above are already backordered in terms of years according to some TV show. So if a bunch of em went poof...........it might be a while!

I have solid intel on the mil's deep interest in this caliber, especially in the "honeybadger" style config.

I made a deal with the Amish. They will keep me fed and I will keep them alive

Thankfull I bought all my sh!t before the election!

HEHE, I think your wife and Tactical Monkey's wife are going to take out a hit on me!

I understand the pursuit of weight loss and I understand budget but I would have safety concerns over a Hesse, AKA Vulcan, AKA Blackthorne upper.

Just like anything, picking the right tool for the job is important. And there are a LOT of different model ACOG's! So I recomend defining what you want to do and then pick the ACOG that fits that role. Personally I dont care for any of the 4x ACOG's, the eye relief is just to short. All my optics including longe range precision scopes are all in QD mounts so I can reconfigure the rifle for whatever I am up to at the time. But most of the time you can find a TA33H-G on my 5.56 and a TA11H-G on my 308.

Well, lets see. History of eotech issues. The unit seperating from the mount. Too short an auto shut off. Battery life(still not the best). Wandering zero, a whole heaping mess of ones that went out with incorrect cut in lens causing the dot to vanish off center, battery compartment contact issue, battery overheat issue, grainy sight pic, not divable..... big clunky, lack of mounting options compared to Aimpoint... A few years back I performed the test TM is likely to do. The result you ask? For me in terms of time on the clock and accuracy, the difference was not measurable. My times and scores were pretty much identicle. As much as I hated the grainy reticle, when shooting against the clock, it didnt slow me down. If I pursued a more in depth test one may have edged out the other but at that point in my mind it was not enough to care about. So if performance was even, why take on any of the other liabilities of the Eotech. The battery life alone is enough to always send me down the aimpoint path. Maks, I dont think either the Elcan, Scar or XCR have nearly the spotty history Eotech does... Hey some/many like them, use them, deploy with them. But I dont know whats wrong with those people

LOL

If you even think of buying an eoturd Im going to kick you in the nuts!

Sorry to derail your fishing expedition
