Any Plans for a .308 AR? MAJOR UPDATE MAY 8 2014

I will admit that I haven't gone through all 378 posts in this thread, but has Rick made it clear what niche this rifle is to fill? I seem an assumption that folks will be trekking this rifle through the bush, this based on the fact that it'll be non-restricted. But why make that assumption? There are tons of guys and gals who can (or are forced too due to where they live) to ONLY shoot at range, or don't hunt - of course private range or shooting spots on crown lands would mean the rifle would seem some harsher conditions, but REALISTICALLY, will that be 20% of his base or 80%?

If Rick believes that only 20% of his customers for this particular rifle will be using it elsewhere than at a range, then perhaps he's willing to deal with that risk and mitigate it later down the road on a V2 model and only concentrate on precision AR10 customers for now?

I see your point, but logically if someone only shoots at the range what is the point of a non restricted rifle? A .308 AR variant would probably be less costly than this rifle if all you are doing is bench shooting...

Because I want to shoot it on my own land or crown, I have a LMT MWS I'm itching to take it pass 200 yard, my local range only has 200yards rifle lane, and I'm not even a member because they have one year waiting list, so statt every trip to the range.

If atrs make a LMT/kac sr25 type of battle/DMR rifle I will be all over if the price is similar, of course providing the quality/handling is on par.

That's my point if someone only wants to shoot on the range then there is less priced options if someone wants to shoot on private/crown land then that's what this rifle is for...
 
Totally agree, however the price of this rifle should not be excessive, around $2500 and a touch better quality than all other NRs out there would be ideal, you will have a winner. Maybe few variant of it with different stock configurations or simplified version for cheaper to put more NR semis in the hands of hunters. It's a big win here for you got a Canadian designed large cal semiauto action approved as NR.

It's in their best interest to do so. From what I read their rifle uses an upper and a lower. Not compatible with AR models. But as it's a 308 like the AR10, big bore uppers are wide open. 50BMG? No problem. Getting people sucked into the AR, I only need one lower frame of mind. Then they get another upper and pretty soon they realize two guns are cooler than one and they only need the lower! So on and so on. We all know how it goes.

Have to wait and see I guess.
 
You evil bastard ;) that's as bad as Austin Martin and the wheel they showed at the car show in Dubai and sold out a complete line of cars in 15 min.
 
heavily dependent on what it costs....... I was sold on the idea from rick's first post LOL
I can't wait to see this one. version 2 is perfect for my needs.
.308 is perfect for my needs but I'd be less inclined to worry about the price tag if I could get ya to build me one in .338federal for my elk huntin :D
how much how much how much and I suppose a full pic would be nice :D
 
Speaking of pics...














Does it look anything like... this?

(minus the dust cover, of course)



Even kinda' similar? Cuz if it does, I'll take two! ...no, wait... make that three. Yup, three! One for the range. One for the cottage. And another one just... well, just because.

No way it will look like that and be NR. But would be awesome.
