you might as well pick one up Jedi. It is not like the .308 you want will be available by the time you have all your money saved up. At least with the STG you will be able to attend appleseeds with it.
I have no desire to go to an appleseed with a .22lr. Actually I don't think I'll ever go to an appleseed p-e-r-i-o-d.
Besides I'm not sure I want a .308 SCAR Heavy anymore anyways. Its either that or an M1A like TV has. I'm not fully sure yet and want to bring turn4shoot and TV's again before I make up my mind. Need to figure out the cost of say 1000s rounds of brass .308 and then have them bring their toys out so I can shoot 500 into each before I finally decide.
Plus need to start looking into the reloading components. Cause from the looks of it reloading for a .30 carbine right now is very close to just shooting with a .22lr.
I am also tempted by this. It would have to come out of my AR fund though, which would really limit what I could get.
Don't do it. Thinking of the overall cost .22lr is **SO** not worth it anymore and I don't think the price is going to come down until next year as well as the availability.
I just finished reloading the last 100 rounds of .30 carbine for the meet & shoot. It's running me about .15 with platted bullets and .15 with FMJ.
So as I was putting it away I figured let me just get the ammo I plan on shooting for the meet & shoot ready.
When I was done doing that I noticed that
1) did not have any .22lr in the box
2) had removed all the 10/22 magazines and replaced them with .30 carbine
As this year I want to focus on the .30 carbine and Mosin only so don't see myself using my 10/22 and by that token needing .22lr. The STG is a cool gun but it's has no real purpose in my safe right now. It would just be another .22lr taken up room. Now if they make that STG in say a bigger caliber then oh boy... oh boy....
But in the current market place .22lr now equals .223 in price so it's not worth it anymore. So unless I win the lottery no STG for me. Heck if I win the lottery still no STG in .22lr since I could probably just buy the FA version.
Like thesePics or GTFO
