Had the opportunity to try out the Spear on Sunday. Was a very short trip and was only able to get a 50 yard zero (Didn't want to start at 100, as I didn't know if the scope was going to be close to zero on the Spear). Genuinely surprised by how soft shooting the 13" Spear is, especially compared to my LMT MARS 13.5". Hopefully I can get out and get a proper 100 yard zero sometime soon but the Spear has become my favorite "rifle".

Hi @coregon, there are rumors of an imminent release of a black cerakoted MCX Spear version, is that correct?
If so any ETA? Is this going to be some kind of Gen 1.5? Holding up to put my hands on one of those. |

No problem ... this really needs a muzzle brake ... once you install one ... it really tames it down ... to be fair ... any 308 semi needs a muzzle brake ... flash hiders just kind of suck ... if you have a suppressor or planning on getting one ... a brake also acts as a sacrificial blast baffle ... |

Just picked up a basic bitch 16" SIG 716i Tread 308 for $1499.00. Tossed on a spare Vortex Razor HD 1-6x Gen II-e on a Badger mount and a Magpul FDE CTR..
I might like this more than my 16" SIG MCX Spear 308 for a basic DI rifle, so light! |

Good feedback, looking for local engravers that could do the mag well lip.
Also considering what stock is best stock. I like the kate moss style because of how flat it folds. I have seen the standard 6 position that’s comes in it and it seems to hang out there a bit. I’d love to hear other users thoughts. |

Folding flat is nice but it is something I find more important for a "bag" rifle, like a Rattler or even the 9" setups. 13" Spear with the stock folded is still on the long side for bag use. The factory stock folds "enough" to be carried/stowed folded and gives it some weight in the back to counter the front. |

Keep the factory folder. While laying flat is desirable. It folds enough to be good for vehicle deployment and/or putting it into a smaller hardcase. I tried to throw on my Minimalist Plus … which is great for a MPX but the Spear Heavy wasn’t that fun with it. |

I tried putting a Magpul SL-S on it. Just a tad too thick to fold properly, but I really liked the cheekweld-pulled it off to maintain foldability.
I need to try a telefold on it, which is my favorite MCX stock. |

Entertaining video, and cool to see the cartridge reaching 3000fps out of a 13" barrel. Wish they could have gotten their hands on the correct projectile/load however, so the test would be a bit more useful. Of if they had compared the performance directly to 5.56 or 7.62 NATO.

There are multiple rounds/loadings that exist. The load GT is using is the Army's RRA (Reduced Range Ammunition) loading, so definitely see your point that it isnt the most efficient testing to test vs gel/soft targets, etc. But, it's what he was given and is, probably, the least effective loading, so it could be considered a low-end threshold/baseline. |
