Posted: Thu Oct 16, 2008 5:37 pmLooks well-made... what does a gun like this cost?
Re: Got my Eotech.....finally
Posted: Thu Oct 16, 2008 6:01 pmHaha before I say the price let me sort of justify it 
I chose this over a normal ar-15 for several reasons, the biggest being the piston system. Essentially uses the same system as an AK, very reliable and easy to clean. Ive always loved sig rifles as well so that was another big factor.
While it depends on which version you get, the base gun with a side folding stock is around $1349, keep in mind though ive added swiss made 551 hand guards and a magpul ctr stock. So that ll add about $200. The eotech retails for around $520 but I got that one brand new for $360, so I jumped on it.
I have a Bushmaster ar-15 and comparing the two is like apples and oranges, while they shoot the same caliber, that's about the only similarity.
I'm sure that's more info than you wanted but I'm in a bit of a typing mood.

Very nice setup, and I like the photo too, looks very professional, like a magazine ad...

Posted: Thu Oct 16, 2008 8:03 pmShoots 5.56, ive kinda gotten out of airsoft as of late, still have some guns, but the real ones are a little more satisfying
I'll also toss in a little Bushmaster action 8-) Got two eotechs for a reason

I wish I had the money to invest in stuff like that but for now I'll stick with my M91/30, and .50 cal muzzle loader ;)

Posted: Thu Oct 16, 2008 8:27 pmI laughed my arse off when I first heard the term "boomstick". Partially because it was a big ol guy with a shotgun.

Posted: Fri Oct 17, 2008 12:45 amthe .50 is by far my favorite to mess with
It doesn't have as much kick as you would expect and its accurate for shooting lead balls.

Posted: Fri Oct 17, 2008 2:18 am A very nice looking rifle indeed. :) It has tones of the M-16 A2. I like it, but I somehow can't see it next to my old "cowboy" Winchesters, Marlins and Colts.
