Home Forums Hunting & Shooting AR and Tactical Rifles What makes a Knights Armament SR25 worth $3500+ ???

What about the LMT? I think its a little less money.

They are another very reliable .308 and I have never heard of anyone complain about their accuracy. Even their chrome lined barrels are very accurate. The only downside to the LMT's is the weight. They are a bit heavy from what I hear.

Maybe for some.

dunno, it is my life, true, but whatever we called the waist silhouette, I was at one time capable of 40-45 hits on it in 50 seconds from prone at 600, including a mag change, irons only, and slung up prone, no bipods or rests.

And if shooting swing target where I had to engage multiples, would be down around 32-35 total hits due to changing NPA at mag changes....

Pretty damn comfortable myself.... for myself.

it ain't the arrow, it's the indian...

Pigs.... People..... May be a difference. Might've addressed that already....

Would probably be a safe bet that I've put more rounds through DPMS rifles alone than the vast majority of those who think they shoot, have shot in their lives.

Oooooooooooo

That doesn't mean others can't have a differing opinion though. What works for some doesn't for others. It's all in the rifles application.

I shot a few of their 16" guns at Camp Butner during a course last fall. They had Leupold Mk6 scopes on them and were set up to be like the C-SASS. All of the rifles ran flawlessly and offered good precision. I didn't weigh any of them but they are light compared to the current M-110. The only complaint was the SOPMOD stock would occasionally collapse on guys if their sand sock pressed to hard against the lever; their is not much room on that stock for the sock without hitting the lever.

well that's an impressive resume. i'll be the first to admit that all ARs look the same to me. all i really want to do with one is pose with it

Which is completely legitimate. If one is hunting, plinking, competing, etc. there is no reason to buy a KAC, LMT, Larue, or HK 417 over a good DPMS pattern rifle. For sniper matches I use rifles built on DPMS parts but the reason to buy a KAC or similar is to use as a battle rifle with reliability under harsh conditions, harsh firing schedules, etc. being paramount.

And there ain't many posting here, that need or ever will need a true battle rifle.

And if the need arises, its usually only one round away from being in my possession...

Looks like I need to come down south and shoot a few piggies. We don't have them in Washington State.

I have a 223 with 65 grain Sierra Game Kings and a 308 DPMS Gen 2 recon with silencer.

And hence why no one understands why a KAC is worth $3,500.....

So that's whose side you are on........

Buddy of mine had one of those on the range recently. Was quite the POS.

Yeah, people seemed to think a lot more of them before they came out.

GII? Which version?

Correction. I just asked him and it was the older version.

Sure ain't to me. 3500 is the realm of i'll have built what I want, not what someone else thinks is the schizzle. And generally for less.

the internet, where grown men can still hang from trees and throw their feces at each other...
