Thanks!

1/4-3/4 moa at 300 yards. Not bad!

But 1 mag for a $3400 rifle!

Ever seen what a Scar 17 comes with? A cardboard box and 1 mag, that's it.

Honestly, the whole point of magazines is that you reload by changing mags, which is impossible with only one mag.

Looking good Armalite. I wonder if you could offer the smaller version you used to make in 308 in something like 260/243/6.5 creedmoor. Might be a cool setup

So what other precision rifles in that range come with multiple mags? None that I have seen. Call up one of the custom builders and pay 5 grand and it will still come with one mag.

The parts for the AR-30 that were also used on the new AR-30A1 could be placed in a sandwich bag.

Looks awesome I have one of the first AR30 out the door. The little (yuc yuc) still shoots 1 hole 5 shot groups at 100. With a little design work and the help off a friend who is a machinist I put a Magpul PRS on her what a difference a good stock makes. She is going to go up to Elite Iron for a new barrel crown and a quiet procedure that will make her a lot more pleasant to be around. Glad to see they worked out a few bugs but the original shoots just fine.

That was my only dislike with the original.

Mine in .300WM is ordered.

If it's a Colt, it's a copy of an original ArmaLite.

I am not LARRYG36.

Racing is life. Anything that happens before or after is just waiting.

If your AR10 is marked Geneseo, IL, it's still an AR10 no matter what some people say.

Got the call Friday while I was at the Rolex24 at Daytona.

It's on the way to my dealer.

can't wait fo rmy dealer to get a 300 win, it is already on his wish list with 2 outlets.
I hope it isn't forever like all the other cool new guns out there!
Besides it's big brother .50 is all set for a family reunion, has a space reserved in the safe and all.

Got it! Here are some pics of it with the NIB old style AR30 in .300WM:

Well, I finally got it to the range. This is a 5 shot group and the flyer was all on me. I jerked the trigger on that shot.

SS 20x42 and Hornady 180gr SST.

Yeah, it's not centered as I have not decided on which scope and which ammo so I won't zero until then:



Got a new scope on the way. The 20x SS may stay on there. The new one enroute is an SS 3-15x42.

Tried a Millett. Not impressed.
