Thread: ar15 or howa etc package?

So no difference in terms of accuracy or range? I thought from the popularity there was real benefit from an ar but maybe its just wank value!

They're reasonably accurate.
They're also very "pointable" if that makes much sense. Having a protruding grip makes any rifle very quick to shoulder and aim.
I think the other advantage is the ability to have more than one upper for your AR. I suppose as a disadvantage you can only shoot short action calibers.

Fair call, but you can buy a new howa for the cost of another upper, more toys!
And if its an ar15 as he suggests he is very limited on calibres.

A sporting rifle is nicer to carry slung for those long walk ins!

The howa will probably be more accurate than a cheap ar and about the same as an expensive one out the box.
No range advantage either way.
So basically, yeah, firepower and wank value!
