    Don't get me wrong, I shoot my 5.56 out to 600yds regularly in High Power comps but if you want to make an impression then you will want more gun, a 30 cal does nicely at that distance.

    If you want a single gun that is good for everything that you don't plan on changing much, go with the FN 2000. Same range as your normal 16" AR but on a shorter lighter platform. It takes normal AR mags as well. You can get a tri-rail on the front, same sight set up ect. and again, it is lighter and shorter.

    If you want something with a little more power, you can get an AUG in a 6.8 now.

    I just can't afford the .50, I like it just fine but can't afford to shoot it.

    He wanted something that was also good up close. I also like the M1A platform, could look at a scout model in 18inch.

    18" AR in 6.8 SPC? I'm thinking that it would fit the bill plus the AR swappability.

    It's good up close.. you don't even have to hit them... just blow out their ear drums and beat them as they are disoriented!
