Many rifle designs are available using the. Murphy’s law of combat applies: INCOMING FIRE HAS THE RIGHT OF WAY (3). Party says, “Boys, give up your carbine toys for a real man’s weapon-a. Because you can kill game efficiently, shoot through large cover (12″ diameter tree), and drop the enemy well beyond 600 yards I choose a MBR that shoots the 7.62/.308/.30-06 round. My wife and daughter can shoot it comfortably but, it is more a ‘multipurpose utility’ type weapon. I own a AR-15 and I like it but, I limit it to defense and close quarters use mostly. When shot from a 20″ barreled AR-15 the round is below that impact velocity at about 150 yards and from a 16″ barrel at 75 yards.(1). The 5.56/.223 55 grain round requires 2,800 fps at impact to produce a large wound cavity. So, what rifle should I choose Let me start by saying that a 5.56/.223 in a AR-15 or any other light caliber rifle does not qualify as a MBR with me. FYI, I own a MWS, OBR, REPR, NM M1A, and FAL.I am getting along in my years but, I recognize that I may need a high power Main Battle Rifle ( MBR) in the future if significant issues surrounding our standard of living within the US remain unresolved. The REPR is novel with the side charging handle, but I do not feel that the piston adds anything and I have a hard time justifying the cost in retrospect. The SR25-EMC is excellent, but expensive at more than $4K. Of the ones that I listed, the most practical is probably the MWS, SCAR, or OBR.

All of these are also much easier and less expensive to maintain over the long run than the M14/M1A. A DSA FAL is more reliable and durable, but a little less accurate. Thanks for the input.The MWS, OBR, SCAR, REPR, N6 and SR25-EMC are all just as reliable and accurate. Would a Noveske N6, LMT MWS, or some other AR10 be more reliable as a battle rifle than a good M14? 308 battle rifle as well as the precision rig. Perhaps I am going about this the wrong way, so please let me ask:Īre any of the AR10s out there as reliable as a quality M14 for a battle rifle? I would like an N6 as a precision rig out to 800 yds but I was thinking I should have a.
