no it's not. I could put together a rifle that shoots with similar accuracy for half the price. you're quoting pedigree (AKA name recognition), R&D (to justify the high price), and military contracts (just lol). those military contracts are why it's so fricking expensive. the price of an SR25 shouldn't exceed $2800-$3000 for what you get.
Why would you drop $5000 on an APC when you could spend $3000 on a rifle that's put together by GA Precision?
What components of the KAC are so much better than those of other quality AR-10s out right now? Don't just say "R&D"
To quote someone more knowledgable than me: "No dude is going to get shot in the chest at 300 yards and look down and say 'What is that, a 3 MOA group?'"
Sure, if you just want to sit on a bench and shoot for groups, most anything with a "match grade" barrel will be fine.
However, this isn't just about accuracy. If I'm buying a semi-automatic rifle, I want something that I can beat to shite. I want a work horse, not a show pony.
I'm not sure if you're aware of the enhance functionality and durability of the KAC E3 bolt.
The vast majority of military contracts are awarded for a reason, and those reasons are never "Gee, the milling on that lower receiver matches my purse!".
I feel like some of you on this board have never heard of Google. I'm at work and I'm not going to link or write about the R&D of KAC at this time.
If you think Brand X is as good as/better/looks cooler than something that is proven, then by all means go for it.

Yeah. It's usually political bs and connections. I have family in the large arms contracting business and contracts are all political crap. Just because KAC has a contract does mean it's the best out there.

You don't think a Daniel Defense or a Larue will run right there with a KAC?

I'm well aware of what it's touted to be.

there's your strawman again. im still waiting on you to offer up your list of superior components in the SR25 (just the bolt won't cut it) that justify its absurd pricing.

Really? Explain why the military is only now moving away from Beretta M9's despite there being vastly superior products when it comes to cost, firepower, weight, functionality, reliability, and ergonomics. Has the military decided to disregard all of that this entire time, or are there politics involved in all of this?
