I sold my HK-91 and have an AR to sell to put me where I need to be to purchase a Knights SR-25 EMC. I've looked into the FN SCAR-17s as well as the LMT MWS. I'm not into the cheap feel of the SCAR and the lack/price of mags. The LMT is a very nice looking rifle but I'm not looking for a precision rifle. The extra weight is a turn off and I don't need the quick change barrel feature. If they offered a rifle without this feature in the 8lbs range I'd be all over it. Weight is probably one of the biggest deciding factors. With that said...I can't really find anything I don't like about the EMC other than the price...and it's the price you pay for getting what you want I guess. Buy once, cry once. It's expensive but I can live with that if it does what I ask it to. Are there any reoccuring issues or known issues with this rifle I should be aware of before spending this much money? The only experience I have with them is handling them at gun shops. Fit and finish seems excellent but I'm a function over form type of person. I have no clue how they shoot/function other than what people have posted online. Reviews seem to be good on accuracy (under MOA) and I've only read about a few people having function issues...mostly with surplus ammo. I'm looking for reviews and opinions from people who own or have fired this rifle...not internet hearsay or "overpriced". Any help is appreciated because I'll likely make a purchase in the next 3-4 weeks.
Looking for imput on:
Reliability (what mags and ammo if you are having issues)
Accuracy (what optic as well for how your rifle shoots)
Repeatability of the front BUIS? (seems to wobble a bit front to back)
Any issues with the trigger? (Have past issues been worked out)
Any other opinions on the rifle as a whole. Do you feel like it was worth the coin after you have owned it for a while?
Resale? For those that have sold them used...did it hold it's value well and why did you sell if you don't mind saying.
Sorry for all the questions. I'm a little apprehensive when it comes to spending around $5k on a rifle. I though I spent a lot when I purchased my TRG-22 and though I'd neve spend that much on a rifle again. Any feedback would help make this decision easier. Much thanks!
