Agreed. I’m thinking the 5.56 doesn’t make sense for how they are currently marketing this rifle. Not like being the most accurate 5.56 on the market is gonna win you anything anywhere, it sounds like the wrong approach. Before this gets too far out of the barn, they need to introduce a more substantial caliber for their claimed “long range precision” niche. Other than varmint hunting, I can’t see buying this for the purposes of long range precision as currently advertised. Can you even spot a hit on steel at 600 yards with a 5.56 77 grain bullet, or spot the splash of the misses for correction?to be fair, 9.5 lbs would make sense in a big long range caliber for bench shooting, where the 9.5 lbs would absorb a lot of recoil, and you are not lugging it through the field or a competition.
9.5 lbs makes no sense for 5.56.
Not impressed by the 20 round PMAG lmao
I like what they’re trying to do, but it seems someone didn’t think this all the way through. And this is coming from a man that admittedly can’t resist any shiny new toy, especially a shiny new “precision”-minded rifle.
