    My handguns (55 of them) are in the same boat as my ARs and other long rifles. I am not complaining one least bit.

    Obviously there is a point of diminishing returns.
    I look at it like golf clubs. Different ones for different uses.

    I don't have oodles pf ARs but I would keep four or five minimum.
    At least two of which would be exact duplicates.

    Excellent idea to have duplicates but that shit gets $$$$$, especially when we're talking about quality components.


    OP, I'd stop over thinking of it and just get out and shoot the 16" rifle with 1-6. I think you have a good combo as is, I wouldn't put the Vortex on the SBR, I'd keep it where it is.

    Instead of selling it, just put on a lighter stock, a lighter rail, and swap out the EOTech BRICK for an T-1.....boom now you have a much lighter rifle. Sell the stock, rail, and EOBrick and you come out about the same as you would if you sold the rifle and bought a different one.

    I'm with MarkM and others, I'm just now thinking of thinning out my herd of 10 rifles and I would feel naked with only two.

    BTW - you know the Razor with mount weighs over 30 ounces...

    That's a nice pair you have there. For me, an SBR, Standard M4, Recce, SPR and or 20+ inch tack driver is the minimum. (3 at the moment. Subject to change. ) I rotate so they all see some action but, there are my favorites......

    HA!! I was thinking the same thing as you about 3 months after getting my SBR. I put my optics from my V5 on my SBR and bought a 3-9x Leupold on to replace them. Now it just sits there. Maybe I need some offset sights or something. I might have made a mistake getting a 3-9x scope and should have saved a little and bought a 1-6 or 8. I shoot in pits mostly and only shoot my V5 when I go to the rifle range.

    Your rifles look great!!

    What chu Talkin about Willis? 1 rifle? You Sir, need at least one spare. Perhaps even two. I would build a duplicate or even consider picking-up a Colt 6920 with the prices being soo low. Particularly considering, God forbid that Billary bitch gets elected.

    OP, I agree with others. That is a nice rifle. Keep it and reconfigure it to better meet your needs. Having at least one back-up rifle is essential in my opinion.

    Renegade, LOL. Every time I see one of those pictures with your large collection, l just say to myself WOW, that is a lot of guns. More power to you Sir.
