Re: PWS MK214

I needed an AR platform that was "Anvil Tough and Swiss Watch Reliable" that was able to make a cold bore "T-Zone" shot from arms length out to 150 or 200 yards.
Why so short of a distance? Well, my intended use is the Law Enforcement arena. As a Law Enforcement Marksman, I may be called upon to make a cold bore cranial vault shot in a hostage situation... or a barricaded subject scenario. If the suspect is holding an innocent hostage at gunpoint, I need to be one hundred percent certain that I can completely shut that subject down, without fear of a sympathetic shot, harming the hostage.
I chose to try an AR platform. I wanted a short barrel, with enough velocity to penetrate barriers easily, and hold enough accuracy for a T-Zone shot out to 200 yards. The short barrel and collapsible stock would make getting in and out of the Bear Cat a lot easier, and also make rappelling easier.
So, enter the MK214. I went with the 14.5" barrel, to retain decent muzzle velocity...
So, stay tuned... much more to follow. </div></div>
DMack,
The above (snipped)quote from the first post in this thread got my attention.
I've read the entire 8 page thread and if it's in there, I missed it.
"IT" being photos of paper or steel targets shot at 50-200 yards with 168-175 grain ammo and all rounds in the T-zone.
So will the rifle and scope combo you have achieve what you were looking for? Or not?
Your review got a bit side-tracked with LR steel shooting. Great shooting and nice rifle, but I'm still waiting to find out if the rifle/scope combo will deliver the precision goods at 50-200 yards.
I would love to see some pics of groups that represent what you were first looking to explore. It's more in line with my potential needs for the rifle. I'm trying to decide between the LMT/PWS. Based on your review, I'm liking what I see with PWS.
Can you help a brother out?
Thanks,
John
