Ok folks. Need some input, please and thank you.
I have a Sig M400 Tread AR. I thoroughly enjoy it, but like most, I look to upgrade portions. Fast forward, visited LGS, and by the time I upgrade handgard, trigger and some other goodies I'm approaching cost of a Virtus MCX.
Now...here is what I'm wanting. Ability to shoot 300-400yds. While I really like the Tread, it is definitely a new AR owner's gun. Nothing wrong with that...BUT why spend the $$$ when I could get a MCX Virtus 11.5 or 16.
I've ruled out the CaneBrake as I would like to stick with 556/223. The Virtus allows me ability to carry rifle collapsed, potentially in truck.
Please give me your thoughts on 16 v 11.5....distance, flexibility etc. All comments welcomed. I am currently on the list for a 11.5, Grey, Virtus at my LGS. Had to peel myself away from the P229 Legion staring me down..alas, I prevailed, kept $$ in pocket for my prize.
Talk to me about DI v. Piston and if any concerns about the 2 platforms. TIA.
