AAC. Look at the history (I have no inside information):
5.56 - Updated with new M4-1000, M4-2000 models in 07, 08.
22LR - Updated with new Prodigy, Element in 09.
9mm - Updated with TiRant in 09.
45 - Updated with TiRant in 09/10.
7.62 - New 762-SD(N) can announced recently, but no announcement yet on this technology going into 762-SD or SCAR-H-SD or “whatever”. Seems to me the 762 line is due.
I would love a little hint drop Jason… I have pretty much settled on a 7.62 SD for my next can. But now that you guys have the SDN-6 with the “new technology” I guess I will have to wait and see in January. I don’t need all Inconel, but quieter would be nice.
The updates inside the 762-SDN-6 don’t necessarily translate to better performance across the board in other models.
If i was looking into a 308 can soon, I’d be very happy with the current 762-SD. I am not aware of updates to it in the near future.
It is also a very good value at it’s current price.
Sorry, can’t give hints on other stuff other than to say at SHOT there will be awesome stuff for rimfire, pistol, and rifle. Variety is the spice of life, right?
