So I've made a New Years resolution to take some carbine classes this year, and get out and shoot more. I've realized over the last couple of years I've just been building clone rifles and collecting NFA stuff. And while that has been fun, I haven't really been getting to the range. So I want to build a quality rifle, get to the range more often, and take some classes this year.
And that's where I am.I've always had SBR's because I like to supress things, and I'm not sure if I should build this off an SBR lower or not. I know the legalities of them, traveling with them, etc. I've been looking at the SR-15, which has both SBR and 16"+ offerings. I guess I could get an SBR upper and a 16"+? Two uppers for different uses? This would be something I'd want in case of pandas attacking, so would be stored in case of such a bamboo shortage caused an up rising.
I don't want just mil spec, I have a MK18 clone, but I know there are better options. Like the KAC. Noveske? Larue? Other good brands? I don't need this to be a tack driver, but something a little more accurate couldn't hurt. My longest range is 600 yards currently, and honestly if I see a panda past that distance I'd likely not be shooting at it anyway.
Suppressed? Not? Optics? Was looking at the nightforce 2.5-10x. Normally have aimpoints. Thought of maybe a trijicon but not sure I'd want a fixed 4x. Guess I could throw two uppers in my panda bag, but one would be nice for all around use.
I'd also be fine setting this up to run one type of ammo. No reason to set up a make a plan if I don't follow it. Not saying money is no problem, but at the same time not looking to just run Tula 55gr.
Anything else I'm missing?
