I am in the process of putting together my interpretation of a modern patrol rifle. Not bleeding edge top of the line, but well above budget options. This would be suitable for a work or home defense weapon.
There are a couple things I am waiting on before it is complete. Sadly, the latest Surefire Scout is unknown on ETA.
The goal is to find a balance between lighter weight and capability.
I settled on 16" barrel, since it requires no special hoops to jump through. I have found great results from 11.5" and 12.5", even 14.5" barrels but unfortunately paperwork is needed (yes, unless I pin the muzzle device to the barrel on 14.5" or if I go pistol).
I have done longer distance shooting with an RDS, I have a lot of experience with shooting an RDS - BUT - modern patrol rifle concepts are going LPVO.
My current first world problem is: throw everything I have together now or wait the two extra days for the Geissele 2.04" mount to arrive...
