They used to be quite a bit cheaper if I remember correctly.
The SCAR comes in both a light and a heavy version, the light is the NATO 5.56 (can take 223) and the heavy is NATO 7.62 X 51 (can take 308). I'm not to worried if the ACR can fire faster than the SCAR since mine will be a semi and the 625 round per minute rating on the SCAR is considerably faster than what I would ever need or want. I did hear that the ACR trigger is nicer than the SCAR trigger. I agree with you on the ACOG's they are way overpriced, but boy are they nice. I'm really considering just getting a SIG 556 since they are running a rebate.
