Here is what I want:

Does anyone have any first hand knowledge of an AR 10 type rifle ? I like the fact that it takes FAL mags which are cheap and easy to get. The $$$ is a different story. :(

I have a buddy that has the Armalite version of the same weapon. I have only fired about ten rounds through it. From what I saw, I like the weapon. Recoil was very slight, but beyond that I can't really comment.

His was set up all fucked up, with great big tall (unstable) bipods, and a huge fucking BSA optic with shitty eye relief that made it almost impossible to get a solid sight picture. You don't need a 24x optic for a 7.62mm.

I am interesting in this type weapon as well, but I want to see what kind of accuracy this thing delivers before I drop the greenbacks.

The fact that it takes the FAL mags is a plus, I would like to see a magazine do a comparison between a good FAL, M-14, and something like this bushmaster, I am really wanting a good 308 carbine for out here but the cost has made me wait.
