 The Future of Battle Rifles?? - Geissele Joy MRGG 14.5" 6.5 Creedmor Looks cool. But whoever came up with the $7k price is smoking some dank. |

Great rifle! I think there’s a place for it among those that strive for a “full feature/full tilt” gun (and can afford it), but for a person looking for simple, practical and effective platform, there’s nothing a SD can’t do. I love my SD and will never need more, except of course for “one more than I have”….. 😉

Geissele didn't even win the MRGG-A (the 14.5" variant), at least not yet. They won the 20" contract.
So calling it the MRGG is kind of misleading. Someone else could still win the 14.5" contract. |

Hmmm, during one of the annual big sales, I bet the price would be down around 5-6k. At that point it would be the same as a KAC 14.5" upper, if KAC ever gets around to actually make enough to be available.
The gap between the end of the barrel and the rail really bugs me though. It's close to flush on their 14.5" 5.56 and 6ARC rifles, so why can't they do it for this 6.5CM gun? That gap is ugly as hell. Enough for me to not even daydream about buying one. |

I think Geissele is pricing these high and will keep the price high because the federal govt is willing to pay the stupid high price.
I am surprised there is no indexing or anti-rotation tab from the handguard to the upper receiver like on their normal Super Duty rifles. I guess the barrel nut is a whole new design. Would be nice to see the details of the bolt, bolt carrier up close. |

Why sell something for $2000 when you can fleece taxpayers and your country for $7000

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By cone256: Why sell something for $2000 when you can fleece taxpayers and your country for $7000 Case in point is what the USMC pays for their M27 IAR (essentially a 16.5” barreled HK 416). Initially it was $3k a rifle, but the costs have gone down to $1300-1700 a rifle from what I have read on the error-net. The JSF program is sort of going through the same pains as production ramps up. Another consideration is the “budget” for X number of rifles. Geissele may be pricing based on that calculation and to recoup development costs (barrel, suppressor, new handguard and internal components no one else makes etc). |
