If you have any questions just let me know. I think I covered everything. It was inspired by the Video Game Destiny. The Arcus rifle is an rare battle rifle within the game.

Mike at BDL is pretty amazing. Great looking build man!

Thanks man I appreciate it. I figured not as many people would do a Destiny theme vs halo or Star Wars. Wanted something cool yet different.

You should have got inspiration from something other than one of the most disappointing games in history :jester:

Haha no that would be titanfall… Fun for 5 minutes…

As a pretty hardcore gamer I would have to disagree there, atleast Titanfall’s content was fun and PvP was enjoyable. Unique rifle though for sure.

It was fun no arguing that and thanks!

Okay, Have have ZERO shame in me for saying,… I haven’t got a CLUE about what you’re saying, other then you’re talking about some kind of game(s) :moil:

BUT, what I do know is… Your Acrus Rifle, she’s Defintely looks BAD @$$ and I’ll bet 100 bucks, she shoots AWESOME too! :cool:

Peace :cool:

No shame at all and yes you are correct all around. So if you did bet, you’d be $100 richer!

Nice gun, but its SUROS regime. It was changed from Arcus to SUROS.

BTW: Destiny thread!

Indeed it did! Most people don’t know that. I just liked Arcus better lol. Good catch!

Anybody who knows anything destiny, knows 1, Arcus was never the real name they used and it was only that name during testing, should of kept it at SUROS if you want to be authentic and true to your inspiration, and like the guy before said, should of picked a game WORTHY of making a tribute to not the biggest let down in history due to listening to the masses and catering to them and making the game retardedly easy and no fun for gamers who actually enjoy a challenge

To each their own I suppose. Can’t please everyone… Good thing is it shoots as good as it looks and have a member here that can verify that… [emoji1]

That is a seriously wicked rifle.

Thanks voodoo! Glad to see a familiar “face”…

Agreed…but isn’t the scope mounted too far back? Holy eye relief Batman!

Not everyone likes the charging handle up their nose. It’s got an adjustable stock, afterall. Since I’ve actually shot this rifle, I can tell you the eye relief is fine. :slight_smile:

Totally depends on the user.

Interesting rifle but until you explain why you chose the components used in this rifle and what role you expect it to fulfill (as per the rules of this sub-forum), this is nothing more than a FB “look what I did- ain’t I special?” post and belongs in the AR picture thread

This was build as a 16" gun that to could use to run drills with when a 16" rifle was warranted. The place I train at has several type of classes and each class is designed around a particular “style” of rifle (IE 16" for standard fire team within 100 yards, 18"-20" rifles for long range, SBR for CQB) I have several rifles but at the time I had gotten rid only my 16" and then decided I wanted another.

The parts were picked as I wanted a build that was around 7 lbs. I don’t want to say a LW build as there are far better parts for that but did want a lighter than average rifle. This rifle balances very well and it also shoulders and falls in line with my natural throw perfectly, which really helps when running drills. As I stated this is a 100 yard gun so that’s why it has a 1-4 scope. I have run RDS’s. But wanted a scope this go around. I have also benched this gun and was able to hit steel consistently at 550 yards as did slippers that day.

Just because it looks pretty doesn’t mean it can’t have a purpose and perform. I have plenty of those scary black rifles and I wanted something different that no one else had. This definitely isn’t for everyone but most do enjoy it!
