I don't own one, but I strongly suspect there are better options for the money.
I am looking forward to this next year...

I'd convert that 556 to an A1 or 552 clone before I ever gave DPbushingtonMS money.

I'd buy one to use as a range toy if I had money to kill, but not cause its not reliable. I just highly prefer AR's for their ergos and track record so they are my go to rifles.

In that price range, check out the brand new Sig 556 XI or 556R XI? It supposedly does most of what the ACR and SCAR do for 1.1 grand give or take.
MAC did a decent and fair overall rundown and comparison of the SCAR and ACR a few years ago here . |

I own both. If I had to get rid of one, it would be the ACR. The 556 has more support, the trigger is better, and it isn't as heavy. I do like the ACR for its control layout, better stock and rail, and ease of takedown. At the end of the day, I'd buy another ACR if they weren't so expensive.
I have several 556s and will pick up a XI at some point. Old photo.

The Bushmaster doesn't seem so bad now that the prices have dropped significantly on them, however at $1500 I personally rather put the money towards another SR-15
Now if the Remington revision was released in semi auto, I'd be all over that

I almost pulled the trigger on one a few months ago, but I decided against it. At this point I'm sticking with ARs until something else just blows it away. I have so many hours on the platform and with an M4 as my duty rifle I might as well stick with it.

I've been looking for a 551-A1 Swiss style lower and if I could find one that won't run me a grand to convert to, I'd probably do that. I have a late Gen1 Sig 556 SWAT with the long rail system. I traded a spare AR (that I built for $600) I had for it. Sig sells the Swiss style handguards but apparently dropped the 551-A1 lowers. |

I have one and like it. I did an extensive review, but it got nuked with the BM industry forum. I think I also posted it on TOS and LF if you are a member of either of those.

I bought one when they first came out in 2010, $2400 from aim. Nice rifle, no issues at all, routinely shot 400+ yard half silhouettes with it but the quick change barrel lever was very weak and would break (mine didn't but I only used it a few times). I sold it in 2011 and would like another one but at half of the price that I paid. There's some footage of my wife shooting suppressed it in this video http://youtu.be/NkIul_o-hUg

I did a little searching today, made a few phone calls and tracked down a 551 lower. I should be able to toss my factory 556 lower with the M4 stock and adapter on the EE and just about break even. WOOT

I love my ACR and recommend buying one if you want one, but Bushmaster/Remington/Freedom Group's lack of support for the platform in the form of new accessories and barrels is disconcerting. Never shot a SIG rifle. They seem cool, though I'm not sure if I'd ever buy a US made SIG. |

I have an ACR. I bought it about two years ago. It's a great rifle, but I own it purely as a range toy. And, I did not buy mine with any expectation of caliber conversion kits from Bushmaster.
It is a bit heavy. I own a SCAR 16 too and most of my friends who have shot the two side by side prefer the SCAR. I prefer the SCAR too, but I'll hang onto the ACR as something different to take to the range. |

Quote HistoryQuoted:
ETA: you can retrofit an airsoft Remington style handguard onto the Bushmaster ACR That's neat but what makes the Remington version so sweet is more than just the hand guard. There's a pound in weight savings just from the barrel change redesign. Plus the more ergonomic receiver, 1/7 twist barrel, and AR grip compatibility. As for the usual "It was a good design until Bushmaster screwed it up" comments in this thread, the reality is Bushmaster didn't change anything except for the barrel twist. Selling it to Freedom Company was a great move in that Remington has really refined the ACR into the best replacement of the M4 - if there ever would be one. I just wish Bushmaster would update their product line with the Remington revision or better yet, Remington Defense start selling semi-automatic variants. |
