For $3k, I will do FNSCAR or HK416.

But what makes the SCAR or a 416 worth the 3k and not the ACR?Beiruty wrote:For $3k, I will do FNSCAR or HK416.
The name, to gun snobs its all about the name (That Kimber is much better than that Springfield because it cost XXX dollars more for the same features). I am willing to pay good money for a good product, but $3K is not going to happen unless it has a legal happy switch.RECIT wrote:But what makes the SCAR or a 416 worth the 3k and not the ACR?Beiruty wrote:For $3k, I will do FNSCAR or HK416.
I totally don't think the HK416 is worth anymore than a LaRue, Noveske, or LMT.

Yeah the ACR is becoming available in 6.8SPC barrel also. It is supposed to be a quick swap type thing.can2boy wrote:prices are all over the place! i held one today @ the rodeo mesquite gun show. the gun zone had one for $2187.00
one thing i don't get, it says multi cal. so do you have to buy conversion barells???

If i could have the SCAR with the ACR looks, that would be a love child i would need to own. SCAR just looks too toy-ish to me and while aesthetics aren't everything, they definately are something! But yes, the twist rate and price are the biggest deal breakers for the ACRRebel wrote:Skydivesnake wrote:I guess they're not selling well; tombstone has them for $1675+shipping now;

If you ever handle one you'll know why they aren't selling. The thing is outrageously heavy for what it is and comes with a twist rate no one really wants. On the other hand the SCAR16 is deceptively light.
