I was doing some research on it and the whole idea has started to grip my mind. With proper twist, ammo and optic it really truly does extend the authority of the AR to 500 yards and perhaps more.

Anybody here deploy active duty with one in the sand box or know anybody that did? Where and how were they more effective?

As I understand it the unique aspect is the 18" 1/7twist, 77grain smk's and a good variable optic up to 10x.

Anybody doing the 3gun thing with a MK12/SPR style set up?

My only experience is with a 16" and xm193.

My only thoughts are that if you cannot keep the weight down might as well go 308, and also; how are the fellows retaining the ability to do close quarters with the MK12?
