Bren vs. SCAR 16

They're both overpriced meme guns that don't give you any performance that justifies their price tag

I'd vote for the SCAR 16, looking for a second.

>>33849995
>>33849802
Because that's what I found on GIS and I was too lazy to rename it.

>>33849987
BREN 2 is ugly

>>33850015
Yeah, but let's be honest. The SCAR isn't winning any Miss America pageants, either. Er, it's brown so maybe Miss Belgium is more appropriate.

>>33849704
Thanks, broseph. That's exactly the sort of info I came here for. What didn't you like about them?

What did you replace them with?

I'm a slavshit shooter looking to get into 5.56 and I'm trying to get over just how "meh" the AR platform leaves me feeling.

I'm *this* close to saying "fuck it" and just getting an SLR-104 instead.

>>33849987
I meant for the 805 and 806 to be interchangeable. I do like the 806's looks more, fwiw.

>>33849445

rented and shot a couple mags through a full auto 805. Impressions: first, very well made. Excellent machine work, few if any tool marks. Weight didn't seem too out of line compared to an accessorized AR. I'm not wild about the looks of the stock, but it was functional and not uncomfortable. The gun looks much better with the ACR stock conversion.

Shooting the gun, recoil was minimal probably due to an efficient brake and the fact that the gun isn't super light. I found it controllable even on full auto.

Verdict: would buy if I wasn't living in Cuckifornia.

>>33850341
I can't stand the look of the stock, but some of the variants with the more SCAR looking stocks make my pants tight.

>>33849445
You get like 90% of the SCAR at 2/3s of the price with the BREN.
I would buy one instantly if it came in real fucking nato.

>>33850053
Sold them for money to buy an engagement ring. But honestly even if there was no ring I would've sold them anyway in time. They just didn't do anything better than my AR did. They're cool in the beginning but the novelty wears off real quick once you realize that you paid into the hype.

Glad you took the plunge instead of me. I shudder to think of all the funs i could have gotten for what I just paid for my engagement ring.

[Spoiler]a hi-point, a hi-point carbine, and maybe a Maverick 88 if we're pushing it[/spoiler]

Same shit

that guy is fucking retarded

the BREN is top-tier

>>33851185
agreed

>>33851024
You spent less than a grand on an engagement ring?

Granted I think marriage in our age is retarded for a man, but if you're gonna actually go through with it, why half ass it?

Wrong

>>33851185
It took CZ years to get it right, with rifles in use by end users. Its still undergoing revisions.

>>33849445

I've handled a SCAR-16 once. Those ergonomics were fucking comfy.

>>33851226
not that guy, but diamonds are intrinsically worthless and hold no value. wasting money on an expensive ring is a fucking joke, would rather buy them a fucking car or something..

SCAR went through several revisions as well, mostly internally after the 3rd Gen.

hit the nail on the head

Yes there were post release revisions, the contract specified shitty muzzle brake was replaced.

Literally no reason to not go AR-15 in 2017

>>33852067
Speshul snowflake millenials don't want a gun other people they know have. And to be honest, if other intermediate caliber auto loaders could be had for what an okay quality AR can be, I'd probably get one. As it is, I can't even buy a century ak for what I can use to put together a pretty okay AR

>>33852067
A lot of people already have an AR-15 and want a different rifle.
Who wants 20 AR-15s?

You can literally build an AR-15 to any size, spec, and caliber. I understand wanting a different rifle, but they are really inferior at 2-3x the price of a Tier1 AR.

>Then explain why Diamonds do not meet that definition, and why a car does


When a ring goes to pawn, they dont even give a fuck about the diamond. All the actual value is in the gold. Unless you're talking a D, Flawless 1.5 carat diamond, nobody wants that shit.

Get her a heavy 18k rose gold watch, a sensible wedding band and an exotic honeymoon.

90% of women stop wearing their H-K color 2 carat, SI diamond ugly setting engagement ring withing a year of the wedding. They're just too gaudy for almost all day-to-day occasions, and come out a couple times a year. Terrible waste of cash. A Honeymoon in a private cabin in Puerto Angel, Oaxaca, Mexico is a excellent waste of money.

Watches hold value, wedding bands hold value, gemstones are shitty wastes of money.

Almost as dumb as that guy saying a new car is a smarter financial move. Just...

I own a SCAR 16 and I've shot the Bren.
The Bren is a decently made knock-off of the SCAR.
I wouldn't steer people away from it, but it does have it's problems. Maybe I'll write a longer post in the morning.

the bren 2 existing already implies that

>>33851294
get gems instead of diamonds. diamonds are actually worthless, at least with gems there's scarcity

>>33849445
The only thing I didn't like about the Bren was lack of a bolt release.

>>33852721
i cant wait for the bren2. its something im getting for sure, barring some kind of major issue

>>33852710
Oaxaca is a nice part of Mexico. You may as well say the same thing about the United States based on a handful of news reports about LA and Detroit.

>>33852710
>enjoy getting beheaded with a rusty machete after you watch your newlywed wife get grangraped in front of you at gunpoint

I said Oaxaca, not fucking Nogales or Monterey.

I walked through the worst fucking parts of Oaxaca city, even the mountainside squatters and shady tire repair guys are nice down there. Not much drug running in the far south of mexico. They tend to take subs and fastboats straight from South america, all the way to the baja peninsula, skipping most of the country.

Not that Id walk around Mexico City without a clear idea of where was safe, but Northern Mexico is generally a whole different world than anywhere south of Puebla

>>33851226
I was given $3500 worth of diamonds by my folks (old-ass earrings that me mum never wore), and I ended up getting a sapphire in the color she liked for $20/carat (post-wing season blowout at a high-volume place my folks have a history of doing business with).

All in, I paid about $900 out of pocket for a ring that ended up appraising for $6500.

Where are you, Bren anon?

>>33857409
Doing my Term paper. I assumed that what >>33852721 said was true and they fixed all the problems, but I've never shot a Bren 2, so I don't really know.
I also don't own a Bren. So I'd be "SCAR anon".

>>33857469
