I did hear there was a recall on the bushmaster where the semi auto were auto.

I like the 416 because its a reliable version of a weapon I am familiar with and tons of aftermarket support.

I like the Scar-L because it being lightweight and reliable while maintaining accuracy.

I like the ACR because it is everything I think I am looking for. I have followed this rifle since it was the magpul masada, but because it is such a new product...I have my doubts.

Any input?

Edit: As far as the ACR goes, I would have much rather bushmaster and remington didn't destroy magpul's amazing weapon...and maybe the reason I am drawn to the ACR is because I know what it was with magpul... Its the least likely option for me, and it really comes down to the 416 and scar-l.

I can't relate to SHTF...geography being what it is, I'm not a true believer. AR15 for home defense? Not around here. I keep all my firearms locked up, but I have three golden retrievers on a hair trigger.

Personally, I wouldn't own a Bushmaster of any kind. IMHO, the whole ACR project has turned into a huge fiasco. Scar-L and SCAR-H...underwhelming in my experience. The 416 is a nice weapon, although I don't think it brings anything to the table that makes it worth its premium price. Not a believer in gas piston rifles either.
