So, some of the threads lately have got my daydreaming about the SCR.

Say you were gonna do a fuddly AR15 build ala:

(I actually think this rifle is amazingly cool and it makes me jelly)

It seems to me no self respecting fudd would have anything to do with the poodle shooting 5.56x45, so what caliber would you choose.

The ground rules (that most people will ignore)

1. must be a centerfire rimless cartridge (I.E. no 30-30WCF, the ultimate fudd caliber)

2. Must fit in an AR15 sized action (No .308 ect.)

The obvious choices are of course the 6.8SPC and .300BLK but I like to be different.
I think I would choose either the 7.62x40WT:
762x40-WT.jpg
Cause mo' powa than .300BLK and because .30 is the only caliber there is.

Or the 25-45 Sharps:

'Cause the hyphenated nomenclature and the name "Sharps" brings to mind the black powder breech loader and that really jingles a fudd's jimmies (the JFJ factor).

6.8, 6.5 Grendel or 350 Legend. I need semi-affordable off the shelf ammo.
Setting up my reloading bench is a few years off still.

Ooooooooh! 350 Legend is a good one! Prolly the best fit actually! A fudd would likely turn up his nose at the 6.5 Grendel since it is derived from a commie case and uses a European bullet diameter. Europeans are Nancy boys after all.

Currently I would avoid 350 legend. Sounds like its having a lot of teething issues (ie still new and may be came to market before it is ready)

25-45 sharps would also be a good option, especially if we are doing 'ala fudd.

And it looks like the sharpa is just a barrel swap from any 5.56/223

Agree, I'm giving it some time to see how it sorts out.

I'm currently following Tim at Military arms channel since everyone keeps talking about how wonderful the round is (but sound more like reading material from the company) and he seems to not even have proper sized ammo, and I guess accuracy is a real miss

Look at the initial accuracy

Au contraire mon frere, that is based on an AR10 action so no go. C'mon man! What are you building right now?

Wait I thought the 500 automax was for the 15.

And it's still a toss up but very heavy leaning .450bushmaster (I still want a socom but that would not be very fuddish way to tacticool)


Edit... yup looks like the 500 automax is ar10


And the more I look into the. 450 the more it seems like a pretty decent round

No, if we just change the name from the tacticool ".458 SOCOM" to the fudd friendly "45-70 Auto Rim" we have a winner. From what I understand the .458. SOCOM duplicates midrange factory 45-70 loads and what fudd can resist the grand ol' 45-70?

Yes the .458 (and seems well loaded .450bm) are mid range 45-70 loads

And I do belive the 45-70 auto rim also requires an AR10 magwell. Which the 2 AR platforms I have seen set up for that 45-70 were super nice looking.

But until fightlite gets on their game and comes out with the big boy lower.

I'll say my two suggestions would be.... 25-45 sharps because well it's a "sharps" duh lol

It 2 would be .450bm because its straight walled because fudds are ok with people launching 12g slugs at deer but .458socom no thats a no go... but the. 450bm is also good because its straight walled ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Oh, @Edwardteach72, the Big Horn Armory 500 Automax is an AR10 platform that takes AR15 magazines.

Big Horn Armory AR500 Auto Max Rifle Review

Which I think is bizarre, if you are willing to accept AR10 bulk why not just go with a .308 or other cartridge of that class?

Ok so that's why I got confused.. and am still trying to grasp that concept.. ar15 magazine but using an ar10 reciever.. if the 500 automax is to much for the ar15 (I get that) might as well ditch the magazine and go with the AR 10mag and make even more of a thumper..



Side note the .458socom could fall under fuddish since it was actually the brain child in many ways of Cooper

***edit*** I got mixed up again... the .450bushmaster was born of Jeff Cooper's "Thumper" concept not the .458socom... been doing to much back and forth between the rounds...
