Springfield just announced this new rifle, looks like their version of the SCAR-L. Meant for precision, it looks interesting to me, even though I typically don’t think “precision” and “5.56/.223” in the same sentence. I’d prefer a 7.62/.308 version (maybe that will be available later?). Checking the specs, they’re not advertising this as a heavy barrel, so probably no bueno in Marylandistan. The barrel is referenced in respect to lending itself towards its guaranteed sub-moa accuracy, so maybe a new press release can fix that for us. Also, the lower is part of the long handguard, with the upper being completely drop-in and free floating, which should make the parts not interchangeable thus eliminating being a “clone” casualty.
Who knows, once these get let loose in the wild, maybe MSP will review and rule favorably for us to get our grubby little hands on them. Is anyone else liking this or am I the only one? I particularly like the silhouette of the rifle, somewhat HK looking with that forend.
