Hell, I saw a couple of the Bushmaster ACRs at some gun shows recently and they cost almost as much as the SCAR.

I thought they were supposed to be a lower cost alternative?

Unless you just think you are the shit for owning one, why anyone would pay that much for a carbine when there are good, solid M-4s out there for less than half as much is a mystery to me.

Hmm, I could score an LMT or Bravo Company M-4, kitted up with an EoTech or Aimpoint, a weapons light, all of the bells and whistles, cleaning gear, several dozen mags, and a thousand rounds of ammo for less than the cost of the stripped SCAR or ACR.

I guess for some people, looking good/cool is more important than actually being good.
