Ahhh... .308 version of the Masada, I mean Bushmaster ACR

Looks really light, with lots of recoil. Maybe they should change the name to "the donkey". Smaller creature, plenty of kick..

That would be badass from the hip.

Sick!
Bushmaster ARC, XCR-M, LWRC SABR, FN SCAR-H.... Don't care... I'll take what ever gets here first!!! (And is Non-R)

I would love to own one of each but I don't have $12,000 sitting around.

Looks like the charing handle is reciprocating, unlike its little brother. Hope thats just a pre-production thing cause it would hurt to take that in the thumb.

Why the hell is it called a Massoud?

They really have to work on the names of their rifles.... they've got good engineers, they need some marketing help haha

Yes, call it something tactical and ###y. The "Max Ricochet" or "Spartan Crusader". I'm guessing their next rifle will be the "Hamid". Armshouse should bring a few in.

Massoud is a great name, Ahmad Shah Massoud was assassinated in 2001, this rifle is a tribute to this fallen fighter.

I don't care about the name - it's sweet. Too bad we're looking at a late 2009 release at best.

Looks nice.
