Best NR rifle

[mikethebike]

If the SHTF who is going to care about shooting ranges? Out will come the ar's and at least they will be accurate enough to hit you before you can hit them.
But who really cares. All this SHTF talk is irrelevant stupidity. In the reality that we live in today it's NR rifles all the way for me. Safe and Range queens are effectively useless show and tell pieces.
Even though I own some of the rifles being discussed here I still think your best rifle is your simple, basic, accurate, nothing to go wrong with it bolt gun.... even if the s#!t does ever hit the fan.
Just my 2 cents worth.

nothing beats a trusty little 30-30 lever gun, she's 50 years old and I still rely on her for my life when I go in the bush

aside from that I have tons of heavier 18.5 inch semi auto but really aside from the rapid reload of the 10 round pistol mags the 30-30 is better

You can purchase all the spare parts through Gravel Agency. Barrels and triggers are just tweaked AR components.

This year has been regarded by many as year of the ACR as the aftermarket has seen huge support BOTH Canadian and American.
RPM Tool has produced 2 forend lengths, Nexus Tactical has produced 2 forend designs in 2 lengths (4 different forends) and extended mag release's, Templar Precision has produced remington style folding charging handles, extended bolt releases, and made cores for Battle Arms Development safeties to work.

Custom barrel assemblies/conversions have been available in Canada from Herron Arms, and from Nefarious Arms and Templar Precision in the US.

The factory barrel assemblies have been finally started shipping so onward and upward from here!

Word is the first factory caliber conversions will be released soon as well, but one thing I have learned is that Bushmaster moves slowly, so chances are soon means in the next 3 years. Haha

Getting back on topic... I have to agree with onetwenty's assessment of the ACR. While not necessarily a complete 180, it's definitely a step in the right direction.

I'm 3/4 MOA with my handloads consistently in my SL8, I could probably do something up thats a bit tighter but at 3/4 MOA I'm happy

As far as weight goes, the SL8 and ACR are pretty close to the same.

Stock gun?

Can I ask what the load is?

Everybody trashes the Tavor 21 accuracy. Mine with hand loads was consistent 2-2.5 MOA once the trigger pack and trigger were swapped out.

Moe

2.5moa Sounds like my sks lol.

Your tavor, with handloads and an aftermarket trigger, shoots groups twice the size as my out of the box AR with factory ammo, at almost half the price of your tavor.

Cool! Want to meet me out in the bush to do some shooting? Oh wait..

Hmm, interesting. I may pick one up then, when I can find them in stock. The speed of replacement parts doesn't bother me. I think most parts in the ACR will last longer than 3 years anyway. It will be a weekend range toy and occasional hunting rifle if anything. I've always liked the out-of-the-box features this rifles offers. It was just the lack of 3rd party, and actual manufacturer support that held me back.

Me as well. I've been itching for an ACR for a while. I think a non restricted in 6.8 would be awesome...
