so im down to the short strokes in picking up a Stag-10 and i had a question for people who know more than me on this subject.
i decided that since im a left handed shot and i was gonna be putting out more than $2000 id wait and get myself a left handed Stag-10.
not that it really matters because 90% of my rifles are right handed ones so its not a make or break it thing.
BUT, i figured since im putting out some good change id get a lefty.
so my question is this.
what my plan was going into this originally was to pick up a AR10 of some sort in 308 for hunting and pick up a second upper in 6.5CR later on for playing around with distance shooting.
so this is my dilemma.
there are no left handed (or right handed for that matter) Stag-10 in left hand in canada right now in 308.
BUT, there is the top end 6.5CR one in both left and right available at a few places.
so im kinda thinking about going about this backwards from my original plan and getting the 24" 6.5CR Stag-10 and then either building or picking up a 308 upper when i can find one.
my question then is this....
is the 24" 6.5CR Stag-10 worth the extra money?
they are about $2500.
compared to the base price 308 that is like $1900 and the LEV2 that is $2200.
am i truly getting $300-$600 worth of rifle?
or, should i continue to wait and get the 308 and save myself the $300?
now, i should say my plan all along was to get the 2nd upper in 6.5CR, i was hoping to get just the upper receiver then pick up a nice match grade barrel for it, so is the Stag 6.5CR barrel listed with this one a good barrel?
i guess im kinda chomping at the bit to get a AR10 and im kinda tired of waiting.
here is the vitals on the one im looking at:
so, boils down to this, should i continue to wait and go with my original plan and get the 308 if and when they come back into Canada and then build a 6.5CR with a match barrel later - OR - should i pick up this top shelf Stag-10 with the 24" 6.5CR barrel for top shelf $$ and pick up or build a 308 hunting upper later?
direct me oh Yoda's of the CGN.
