Thoughts on building SDM-R ?

Been kicking around the idea of building a version of a Squad Designated Marksman Rifle, the SDM-R.  I'd stay very true to the design, and just change a few things that I like to run.

This long little bastard could get very expensive, very quickly, so that leaves me up in the air on it.  I've already got a badass 20" 5.56 precision rifle, the YHM upper, lower and 1:7 heavy barrel - one of the most accurate 5.56 rifles I have.  Then there's the Woody, 20" .223 Wylde rifle.  Love that thing.  Then the Mk12.  'Nuff said on that.

 

I'm just feeling the need for a SDM-R, for some reason.  Changes I'd make would include the Rainier Arms UltraMatch SDM-R barrel, DD Lite 12.0 rail, and a few other things, but it would be damn close.  I'd paint the $hit out of it, too, but tastefully.

What say you?  Toss some input in here and let me know.

I'm REALLY itching to run that Rainier UltraMatch barrel, and see what it does.  I looked at the WOA barrel already (beautiful), but didn't think to look at Compass Lake.  Gonna go see what they have now...  By the way, they have THE BEST free-float setup for a National Match A2 build - that one trumps all others in strength - smart design with the modded gas tube.  <thumbsup> <thumbsup>

But you would be leaving out calibers like ;

40S&W , 10mm , 357sig

And 5.7mm , 6.8spc , 300wm , 338fed

Everybody NEEDS a couple of those just to keep things interesting.

Mike, my brother...  That's why I like to shoot with YOU.  <thumbsup> :banana:

 

I want to keep this thing 5.56.   Modern, free-floated version of the Woody.

Uh huh, yeah. 

 

 

Here's my prediction regarding the outcome:
