Thanks for posting this! Ive been poking around the ‘AR10’ market and this one gets very good reviews consistently.

Great hog gun. Some ammo testing required to reduce group size.

It scares me. It looks like it takes an automatic high capacity banana clip and would be easily modified to carry scary bayonet lugs. And a hand grenade launcher. And it is black (some of it...).

Oh, woe is me! I’m terrified. Someone get me my flannel pajamas and a cup of hot chocolate!

Nice rifle. 0.75 MOA with Prvi Partisan 175 grain match ammo is very nice for a semi-auto...and handloads should bring that down to about 0.5 MOA. For $1,300-$1,600 for a .308, that’s not bad at all. The barrel needs to be a bit longer (22” or 24”) to take full advantage of its long-range capabilities.

I wonder what it’d do with a Bartlein or similar barrel with an 11.25:1 twist ratio and 5R milspec rifling - that’s what the M40s use, and for good reason.

I do love the .308 cartridge... lot and lots of options when making up reloads. I stocked up on once fired 7.62x51 NATO surplus brass a few years ago before the military stopped selling it to people who were reloading using it. It is slightly heavier than standard .308 and very nice. Now apparently, the Obama administration only allows the DOD to sell it to companies who destroy and scrap it. It is a terrible waste of good brass.
