So here I was saving up to build my first bolt gun, and now I've realized my head wasn't in the right place.
I need a proper go to gun, as a prior service marine (albeit pog)an assault rifle just feels at home in my shoulder. Something reliable beyond a shadow of a doubt, and powerful enough that engaging a soft or hard target within reason is not an issue.
I have seen people try and compare the MK214 to weapons like the GAP-10, but designe aside, their intended roles quite different. I think this is a proper battle rifle matchup. I have never shot a semi automatic gas piston weapon, I have shot many a DI. The local dealer (Scottsdale Gun Club) has LMT's on the floor which is a plus, but they are 16" weapons, where as with a 90-120 day wait, they could order me a PWS in 14.5 with a permanent muzzle device. Seems like the LMT is a bit more accurate from what people have said here--mostly likely a result of things like a free float barrel. But the MK214 is no slouch. I DO NOT need to engage targets past 500 yards (realistically prob 300) I DO NOT <span style="font-style: italic">NEED</span> a sub MOA weapon, just sub minute of man. Weight is important.
I have almost 2k in my pocket, I'll hit 25oo ish in a month or so and be ready to pull the trigger. I'm torn right down the middle. I have friends with SCAR's and ACR's but no one with a either the LMT or PWS so I will put my faith in the HIDE.
