[QUOTE="henschman, post: 1454163, member: 4235"] I also would have liked to see them go with a longer barrel -- I know what a flamethrower a 16" .308 is, and I don't think a massive muzzle flash that blinds you and gives away your position in low light exactly fits with the whole "scout" concept. It is fine for use on a shooting range during broad daylight, but not so great for the role Col. Cooper envisioned. I also think they should have given it a stripper clip guide. Stripper clips work great in rifles with forward-mounted optics, and it would minimize the need to buy more of those expensive mags. It would be pretty sweet to have the option of either loading from the top with strippers, or carrying extra box mags. I like the long sight radius aperture sights, but I wish they were more easily adjustable, with click-adjustable drums like on an M-1 or M-14. [/QUOTE]
