While im not tryng to sway your opinion... I know you said your not into bullpups, but if you never tried one, do so. just to keep yourself honest . I was a bullpup hater for decades. I never tried one . I was at a gunshop in the boonies of NC and a lady pulled up and was showing off her new toy. A stery aug . I handled it and fell in love on how the thing handled, shouldered and pointed for me. I'm 5'7" ..... bought one and love the damn weiord space alien looking rifle. The overall lenght with a 16" barrel is short.. No reason for a SBR and still have 16" for the 5.56 cartridge . Can get in a Nato stock so it takes all your AR mags also. I just got a Tavor but haven't shot it yet. The AUG still shoulders better for me. I have owned many many Black rifles and battle rifles. I still have most of them... I will say the reason I don't have a SCAR in my inventory is I have a Colt 901 already .... Good luck in your hunt, cheers WarDawg
P.S. The triggers on a Bullpup are not Match percision triggers. It's a field , battle , run and gun rifle. I personally have never set up a go to run and gun rifle with light triggers. I have good triggers in rifles that I bench shoot . But not in rifle I might be dropping and diving to the ground and knocking the crap out of. Thats just me .... I just care about hitting the silloette ..WD
