I fondled one at a gun store; it looks and feels like a nice rifle. I want one. I'm not paying 4-6k or whatever they go for now. I would probably, grudgingly, buy one at MSRP if they ever made it down that far. But not a dollar more. Personally I think this rifle should cost 2k.
I'm hoping the line of people willing to pay 4-6K, or even 3K for this thing is not really that long, and that they come down out of the stratosphere before any potential ban.
I do agree that if they are banned with only a few hundred out the door,4K is going to look like a hell of a deal in a real hurry.
Based on my (admittedly not perfect) understanding of the SCAR design, I feel that the XCR design is superior anyway in several key aspects. To be fair, the SCAR comes with sights and a PWS comp, so you can't compare direct MSRPs without adding in some stuff to the XCR. The XCR+Troys+PWS break comes to just short of 1900, so the actual difference in MSRPs between the two in similar trim is about $800.
