Well my plan was to use iron sights until I save up for a scope, was deabating on an ACOG or HAMR...both are kinda pricey but I love the idea of being able to have some range and attach a red dot too.
Realistically, if I just wanted a gun for shooting at the rage, I wouldn't get this. My main thing will be small game fun (coyotes and prairie dog and beaver etc) and honestly, yes "COOL Factor" is a huge reason why I am looking at the assault rifles. I have always just really wanted an assault/military style weapon. I also want something I could deer hunt with as I will be trying that out eventually.
So I guess....cool factor is technically #1. I like to be different too which is why I don't want an AR15 or similar gun. Otherwise my needs a DPMS panther or something similar would be plenty.
But I do like the idea of shooting a heavier bullet (60 grain and up) and being accurate out to 500 yards+ which the SCAR is good to (assuming you know how to shoot
).
This help paint the picture at all? I find it easier to talk with people about these kind of things, back and forth is a lot easier then typing a ton of shit.
