S&W M&P10 .308 - SHOT news?

Looking at S&W's website and I found 3
1. One obviously marketed towards hunting (real tree, no flash hider among certian features) - the one seen at SHOT. Listed at $1729 on S&W's website

2. A black, optics ready M&P-10 - no price listed

3. A black M&P-10 with Troy BattleSights - no price listed

I looked everywhere to find something other than the camo/hunting one but couldn't find it, sorry I am having to link to S&Ws page for the specs on the black M&P-10s.

Looks interesting. Always room for another 308 on the AR market. I am glad to see companies like S&W moving forward with new products in the face of the tidal wave of BS from DC and in the media.

What's ETA to market?

Held it at Shot. Is LITE! I made a couple reliability suggestions, but other than that, it looked good.

Yup, it sure was. A little under 7 3/4 lbs, with an 18" barrel.

Exactly what I was looking for.

Grant, any idea when you might start seeing these become available to you as a dealer? I'd like to pick up one of the # 311314 model.

Thanks.

None (as manufacturers don't give ETA's). We did order a bunch of them along with mags.

Nice to see more 308 ARs hit the market.

For what it's worth, the rep in the booth said they already had some in inventory. Probably enough for T&E's, rep and distributor samples, etc.

Looks good! Impressive weight, but would have liked to seen higher quality barrel, and a modular floated rail for that price.
