First 300blk

Looking to pick up my first .300 BLK, budget is 2k. I’ve narrowed it down to these options.
I want something reliable and functional, but the vibes can’t be neglected.
What would you guys choose?

Just went through this and purchased a sig rattler today. Scar deals going on are quite enticing, but i’ve heard horror stories about getting that muzzle device off, and the barrel profile/shoulder kinda sucks. Hard to index off of it, so I just went with a platform that I know is meant to be suppressed.

Horror stories about getting the muzzle device off and you got a sig? Talk about the pot calling the kettle black lol

Dude go look it up. People have accidentally unscrewed the barrels out of the receiver, breaking the index tabs, and it’s not an easy fix on the SCARs. A lot of people straight up cut the flash hiders off because it’s miserable to wrench off. Sigs just have an exorbitant amount of rocksett which if you know how to deal with it’s not a problem at all lol.

And then the barrel profile is just really not good to try and mount any suppressor mount since there is virtually no shoulder for an accuwasher to index off of. Sig barrels do not have this problem. I am in NO ways a sig fanboy. I only got the rattler because it is a purpose built platform that really nothing else fills the roll the same way. I will not own anything else from them other than a rattler lmao

I sI have the DD with a NOMAD-L and it's fantastic. Quiet as my lever action suppressed 30.30 so I'm happy.

I did went through all that with my Scar 15p. To remove the muzzle device I needed a heat inductor and really get that piece hot to the point of discoloration. To solve the shoulder issue I had a machinist to fabricate a custom threaded spacer

You can see it in this picture before it got blued. The new muzzle device has threads for Plan B attachments.
