Save the rest for a nightforce on top and ammo.


I just need a cheap thermal pig hunting gun that will be suppressed

yeah, you can build a very nice, rifle for around 1500 with all "the good stuff"
I have 4 Wilson Combat complete rifles but I get a smoking deal on them... you can buy all the same parts and build it yourself for much less.

I just did a complete build on their site and it's right under 1500
I saved it as a PDF file if anyone wants it

You get less when you buy a fully built rifle as opposed to putting it together yourself. The hard part in building a rifle is the upper and Blackstone has dozens if not hundreds of AR68's [Linked Image]
sold on this site alone. Mine is a tack driver. It is sub MOA but unfortunately I am not. LOL


Well said-exactly what I did.

So exactly what do you guys put your 2k dollar AR's through? I do have one in 308 that is well north of 3k, but I also have a 700 dollar AR-15 that I built many decades ago that is my main shooter. I am sure some of the high dollar ones can shoot a tighter group than my beat around AR, but my AR-15's and Tavors are for self defense, so I don't care about .5 MOA groups out of a AR-15. If I can hit 300 yards unsupported and it functions it is all I need. Just trying to figure out what yall use the expensive AR's for?

The 6.8 is the #1 choice for hunting deer and hogs in an AR15

When I get ready to purchase, I'll probably do that. I'm shopping right now as I appropriate funds.
