I'm about done with a mishmash build of V Seven parts / Aero / Faxon barrel and really love everything about the V Seven parts. Kind of wished I went VS for the barrel too but I figure on the 308 lightweight build I'll probably spring for the extra and go all V7.
But their barrels are a bit expensive to put it lightly.
Anyone have one on here before and also gave a Faxon possibly also?
Are the V7 barrels really worth over double what a fluted Faxon costs?
$720 vs $330ish.
I'd actually save about 6 ounces going Faxon so I'm unsure of what I want to hear. Buy once, cry once mentality being used to justify this one. A $755 matched receiver set is already a bit much. Could go with a Roam set and save 9 ounces and nearly $250 but unsure of how much I trust magnesium receivers still.
A 6 pound 308 AR sounds awful fun though. Especially since going with roam I'd be able to stretch to a 20" barrel and still be at 6.6lbs without a pencil barrel.
