What rifles to consider?

[TacticalSpeed]

Looking for 5.56 only.
Handled a SCAR 16s yesterday and really wasn't feeling it. No pun intended.

Range toy to start. Might replace my Stag as SHTF rifle if proven reliable

I am looking for something very accurate, reliable and ideally lighter than my Stag. I know the MR556 is not light. Accurate and reliable are the 2 I am most concerned with. With optic & light, my Stag weighs 8.4 lbs

Are you specifically seeking something non-AR?

No, it can be an AR as well

Let’s face it the AR platform in the US is the most popular rifle around. Parts are available, plentiful, and somewhat easy to install. While other platforms are great to work with if you can’t get parts for those things and something breaks you just have a huge paperweight on your hands. Not hating on any other platform FWIW. If your ARis reliable and accurate as your “Go -To” rifle then why reinvent the wheel?

Variety is the spice of life.

I think it makes the most sense to purchase a quality AR. However, I've been very impressed with the Beretta ARX 100 that I own and if you can get one for the right price, I would look at one.

Is this TOS? SMH. Many garbage posts/threads.

Read more. Post less.

Let me weigh in as a guy who prefers AKs. If you are really asking all the 5.56 guns to consider.

Stop with a good AR - keep it simple and proven. Why? Because you are going to want to add useful stuff - lights, optics, grips, etc. Other types of rifles have a myriad of options and its a crap shoot finding the right combination - even on good systems.

On the AR it's simple and you can research the right accessories for YOUR use.
