    You make a good point re: optics. Frankly that's what makes the difference in "general purpose" for a lot of folks. RDS are seen more as short range, too much magnification is long range, so the low-powered variables or magnifiers for the RDS come into play. I agree that an RDS with magnifier is a great solution, especially in something like the Larue mount that allows you to both tip it out of the way and remove it completely depending on need.

    I think the really interesting thing about GP guns is optics choice.
    Right now it is wearing an XPS3-2, but if I thought I might be out for more than a month I would want my T-1 or a COG.
    I think that 3x magnifiers are a good thing to have for 1x optics.
    I like low-powered variables, but I am waiting for something particular before I dump what I currently have.

    Is this "something particular" from Trijicon that I keep seeing obscure references to beta testing here and there?

    Any idea when it might be released for general consumption?

    Steyr Aug A3. 26.5 inches long, ready to fire, without extending/unfolding the stock. About 20 inches long if I take the barrel out. T1 Aimpoint. Surefire light. 42 round magazines.

    If discretion was not part of the equation, I'd take my FAL with the 1-4 trijicon and my HVT can.

    BCM 16" mid-length, Troy BUIS, Gunfighter CH, variable scope.

    In the process of thinking through a lightweight 16.25" go-to FAL. Like the idea of a heavier round and penetration to cover the unknowns. I also like the durability and track record of the rifle. Downside means carrying less with heavier rounds etc. May be a decent compromise.

    If I could get anything I wanted, I would get a Colt 6920 with DD Lite Rail, Surefire X300, Tango Down Stubby, Magpul ACS Stock, MS-2 Sling, PEQ-15 to be used with NODS, S&B Shortdot, Geissele Service Trigger, and 10 PMags. What might be just as important if not more important would be your rig that you have set up including your vest, loadout with sidearms, nightvision and knives, etc etc.

    BCM 14.5", DD BCG, Vortex FH, Aimpoint Micro, Surefire G2 LED on an Aero Precision lower. M7 bayonet - hey why not (it stays on my back pack at work) This carbine stays staged in front of the others in the safe along with a go bag full of P-mags, batteries and an ammo can marked "ICE". The ammo can is loaded with 4 - 200 rd sealed "battle packs" of 5.56 and 200 rds of pistol ammo. I keep the SHTF items marked so that my wife can grab them and go in the event that I'm not home to meet up with me.

    After reading The Road I think I'll just stay at home.
