The cost of R&D to develop and refine the SR-25 is passed on to the end user.

The latest iteration of the SR-25 (APC, ACC, etc,) is lightyears ahead of its "competitors".

As I always say, "It's your money; do as you please".


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"

Hell, I would take the MWS 100x over the SR25 at their respective prices

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.
