best general purpose rifle?
Gp rifles
ar15, 5.56, free float, lpvo, light, sling
*with an 11.5inch barrel
FTFY
>11.5"
The Glock
That's not very general purpose
AR10
Semi auto mag fed for combat, good accuracy and range, powerful enough for big game
FN FAL
In theory, a 12.5 inch Grendel with a nitrided stainless HBAR (free floated ofc) and a bravo stock.
But with the current ammo economy, a Mk.12 or something with the same capabilities.
The above was meant for you OP
A scout rifle
>Grendel
It's a compromise no one needs to make
I mean, probably a select fire battle rifle of some manner.
A 16" direct impingement AR with fixed frontsight, freefloat quad, BUIS, LPVO or holo/reddot with multiplier, light, sling. Socom profile with 1/7 twist with 68-77grain pills.
That's a pretty specific purpose rifle
grendel is cheap as fuck u dummy
RFB,
Fuck you guys, bull pups are the future.
This, but AR10, preferably 6 or 6.5 Mememoore (assuming resupply is not an issue)
Otherwise just stick to RFN.
Not recognizing the superiority of 18".
Pathetic.
The boring but ultimately correct answer.
AKM
You can use it for almost anything except small game hunting.
