New Gun

I've never had a gun that's been accurate enough for anything beyond about 300. The Barrett 98 is specialized for long range shooting. It's accurate out to a mile for a man-sized target. I'm sure I could compete with it after a few years of practice and a few grand in bullets.

If you're going to invest that much time and effort, then you'd be better suited by a custom rifle. Of course feel free to support Ronnie Barret. He's the man.
 
And technically, this gun is a tripod. That's probably cheating, but man that would be useful for sighting in the optics.

It's too high, but I figure it's an investment. And I thought it balanced very well actually, I think I could have shot it one handed (though not with any modicum of accuracy).

It balanced very well. It just felt odd to me. I am so used to muzzle heavy rifles.

I thought you were saying it was rear heavy, a problem encountered on the AUG family of rifles. I agree, it takes some getting used to at first. But it's too much fun and, honestly, looks too cool to pass up.

McMillan is getting into serious gun porn. They build some beauties! I have looked at their hunting rifles and drooled.

If I were looking for a custom hunting rifle, I'd go either Lazzeroni or Dakota, but I would never turn down a McMillan either.

It felt odd, but was not unwieldy or anything. I never fired an AUG, but I do like the bullpup design for a combat weapon. The FS2000 is accurate too. I was able to ring the gong repeatedly after a few rounds.

I like the idea of a bullpup, but the sloppy trigger is what puts me off to them for serious work. I've been tinkering with a new trigger setup that would eliminate that problem, and if it works out well, it'll be easy to produce. We'd finally have an accurate (as compared to the semi auto standard, the AR-15), affordable, bullpup.

I have a Bushmaster that is as accurate as anything I have fired in a semi-auto. Its as accurate as many bolt actions I have owned. But the 24" bbl doesn't do much for making it a handy sorta gun.

Bushmaster is still a AR though. And I agree, a 24" bbl is a bit unwieldy on such a rifle. You should handle my M39. over 29" bbl and over 10.5 lbs.
