Last September wifey asks me to give her some ideas for a new rifle.

I like this one.

Last I heard was that they were asking something around $2700+ for the rifle, which even with some discount from MSRP is a lot for a rifle that offers, from what I can see, little more than a piston AR-15 does. But I could be wrong, as I don't know a whole lot about it, and welcome any info I missed.

It's definitely very cool though.

Also, it's an excellent gun in MW2

Something like $2700-$3100 + ... I think they will come down once the commercial sales production is ramped up later in 2010 (?) ...

Seems like it's a 'best of' collection of parts and modules taken from 3-4 rifles/carbines ...

Threadjack- it seems like "they're" always talking about replacing the M4/M16. I know this one was in the running... What's the latest news?
