From VB3

Nice, but 8.3 lbs without magazine?

I have to agree with VB3 that I thought it would be lighter due to the use of polymer over metal techniques being used. My Robarm XCR is listed at 7.5 lbs without the magazine. The Tavor is listed at 2800 grams without the magazine which comes to roughly 6.17 lbs. I'm surprised considering soldiers already carry so much gear that it would be heavier than most of the new generation of combat rifles/carbines.

Apparently Firemedic281 is a Man Loving Pole Smoker... who knew?....

Anyways,.. nice rifle..

 

[Raytheon]

Yeah... Not sure how to get rid of that...

Must have been passing it off as his own pic.

I didn't take the picture, I just found it on the internet.

I really hate those fish tail looking stocks.

 

[shatthatkilledelvis]

dunno...i think its ugly. I'd rather have an Robarm XCR. Just this man's opinion.

"....man loving pole smoker" that's funny.

Suddenly, the 7.5 lb SIG 551 seems very reasonable.

$3000???? msrp

I guess that will translate to $10,000 from wolverine.

 

[omegaboost]

suddently, I feel even happier I ordered my tavor....

 

[ESQ]

1/9? Bleh.

 

[fred flintstone]

why the heck did they do 1/9???

while we were all waiting, i think they were just boozing it up. the design appears to have gone downhill in 2 years ??!!

fn scar is now in chambered 308

if i could, that would be my choice by far, for this kind of extreme pricing

the acr is toast in my books, and the robarm xcr's accuracy doesnt impress me at all for its price & rattles
... don't go into battle with loose change lmao

 

[cableguy]

Don't like it.
Too heavy.
Fish tail stock.....no.
1/9......why?
Magpul MBUS......plastic and too bulky.


Oh well, what the heck, I'll buy one.

 

[GilesG]

When I saw the MSRP I laughed.

 

[Gundoggy]

Was interested in it, but for that price and weight I'll stick with my LMT MRP/Piston gun.

 

[P12]

I was planning to get one but will now reconsider the XCR or Tavor.

 

[sprint]

I'll have one in the collection cabinet.

Just because.


My appreciation for this rifle is almost entirely cosmetic. Just like any other range only gun. Yes. I'd like 1 in 7. But when was the last time you fired a volume of ammunition requiring 1 in 7? OTOH, I have thousands in 63, 62 and 55 grain.
