My dad told me this morning he wants another AR, but something other than a .223/5.56 (we got enough of those as is). He pretty much gave me free reigns to use his money to build/buy an AR of my choice. My first thought was obviously 300blk, but then I started wondering what else I could do instead.
Now, in the very near future I will be getting a 7.62 suppressor (Huntertown Arms
). So the 300blk has a lot of appeal. But, I already have alot of .223/5.56 AR's and suppressor on the way for those. The good thing is obviously the availabilty of parts and compatabilty. But it doesnt seem like I would be gaining much by going to 300blk other than one more caliber to buy.
Im also thinking about gong .458 SOCOM. The plus side, I can use it for deer so it gives me a little more use out of it. However, theres not a whole lot of choices out there for it as far as parts availabilty and compatability. I also dont think I can suppress it, maybe, not sure what would work with it, and lately that seems to be kind of necessary for me.
So INGO, If you were to build an AR other than the norm, what would you go with and why? Oh, I cant do anything AR10 because he already has a lower, and I doubt ill be able to talk him into SBRing anything (although im gonna try).
ETA: He's also brought up his wants for 450 Bushmaster. But I dont think we can deer hunt with it, can we?
Thank you for your insight
