More power to whomever ends up w. the above described rig, to each his own
Some companies I guess just seem to stomach the R&D costs better because KAC and SB certainly are not the only makers of fantastic proprietary kit in their respective markets.

i'm way out of my lane of course, and speculating wildly, but my guess is that those other vendors (also offering high quality at half the price) spread their dev costs over far more units sold. probably by several orders of magnitude.

I'm resurrecting this thread rather than start a new one...
I came across a pre-ban Knight's SR-25 lower with a clone SR-25 EMC upper (supposedly built by GAP with a Bartlein SS barrel).
The rifle is used, but it didn't look too bad upon inspection. Is it worth $5,000?

SB has no equal when it comes to optics. Hensoldt has better eye box and edge resolution but lack the user friendly features like reticle selection, zero stop, ect.
I think the EMC is over priced for what you get but theres no one else who makes a 8.XXlb 308 AR with the features and accuracy. If you want better accuracy or a cheaper price is means more weight and less features like the ambi lower.

I obviously love EMC's and I equally respect SB...my above replies were in no way meant to degrade the stellar products both those entities happen to be, but rather just point out that $9k for a civilian rifle and optic is....
No way....that sounds like a $3k rifle honestly, I would be all over a EMR or EMC for $5k

The EMR is about ~800 less than the EMC. No barrel dimpling or flash hider, A2 stock instead of carbine with SOPMOD, ect.
I used to shoot ATA trap with guys that spent 15k+ on a shotgun. 8-9k on a precision gun with world class optics doesnt ring my bell. Sure its a lot...but theres worse things to spend money on.

Dear lord....if I spent $15K on something it better be a select fire gun.

I visited their showroom, and they were cool as ****. Nothing like being 16YO and having the guy there telling you to go handle whatever they had...50k shotguns no problem. They do 12, 20, 28, 410 sets that start north of 200k.
