Does anybody know how much the ACR went for that was auctioned a few weeks ago? Bushmaster's site doesn't say anything about MSR, yet. Only: "We know that all of our Bushmaster fans have been anxiously awaiting the release of the new ACR, so we want to give you guys a quick update. The ACR testing and analysis programs are running right on schedule. We are running it through every imaginable scenario to ensure that it’s absolutely ready to be released. Each day brings us closer and closer to the official launch, which is slated for the first half of 2010. Until then, sign up for our monthly newsletter for more updates and information as it comes available Team Bushmaster" |

The pricing on these new proprietary-design rifles really isn't the "bend over" some make it sound like. Get a monolithic rail upper. Build it gas-piston. Then a quality complete lower. Then get a Magpul PRS (or something similar) that folds. And decent BUIS, and a mag or two, and whatever else the manufacturers include in their rifle boxes. Warranty is nice also. You're not going to do much better, if at any better at all. I'm not trying to say it's small beans or a negligible amount of money, but I do think it's worth pointing out that they're not just hosing consumers. |

2K+ probably $50 cheaper on average than the SCAR L. Just a guess. Bend over, lube up, and open your wallet.  I thought MSRP on the SCAR 16S was $2500-2600? I agree it's too much money but I would consider something in the $1000-1500 range for an ACR. $1500 was the estimate 1-2 years ago from the Magpul guy demoing it, well before the Scar L set the new precedent for price. I highly doubt even the entry level model will be less than $1800. |
