Tactically better? You decide.

Wow, everybody is coming out with tactical lever guns. I do like the twist rate in the .308.
It needs a holder for a cell phone for use with proper apps for calculating wind drift. In a pinch those phones can be used as a tactical flashlight too, again, with the proper app.
Rick, before you ask, here is a little more information.
You may have heard people talking about using an application or an app. But what exactly does that mean? An app is a type of software that allows you to perform specific tasks. Applications for desktop or laptop computers are sometimes called desktop applications, and those for mobile devices are called mobile apps. When you open an application, it runs inside the operating system until you close it. Most of the time, you will have more than one application open at the same time, and this is known as multitasking.

I don't know what is more upsetting. The look, or the price.

I always thought the BLR looked like an elephant in a bikini, not trim and graceful like Winchesters and Marlins. But you can't beat the design for function, smoothness, and strength.
So, Rick, if you want to hunt some piggies at night and you want to run a suppressor for both sound and flash so you don't fry your ears or your night vision scope, and you also need a mount for your IR illuminator, and you want a repeater that is not an automatic so you can get maximum suppression and not fling hot brass willy-nilly, what rifle would you suggest fits the purpose?

Not so, I don't feel threatened in any way. Nor have I destroyed any machinery. Nor do I feel any need to be a sheep following the herd to the latest fad.
Now Brad if those definitions fit you by all means jump right in.
I don't do tactical. Not my way of looking at the world. I'm a shooter, not a mall ninja playing spec ops
I find it interesting that the gun makers feel there is a big enough market in non black rifle friendly states for this type of thing. Then again, new 35 cal rifles often come out too......

I've been all over that Troy since it came out, the price is sure right, too. Here's the show-stopper: Due to the short OAL with the folding stock folded, they pin/weld the muzzle device, and most of the brakes they offer are not can-compatible. I didn't see the A2 one like in the pic you posted before, but not many companies make A2-mount silencers, and most of the A2-style flash suppressors for 5/8 x24 TPI aren't made to exact NATO spec on the outside so who knows if they'll fit a HALO or such.
One thing I did notice is Troy is making those pump ARs with conventional carbine tubes and nuts on them (sporter rifle series), so the OAL of the rifle should be sufficient to avoid needing to pin the muzzle device, yet they're still pinned in the pics they have on the website. If I knew the thread pitch of the 300 BLK version and it was standard .30 cal I would have no qualms drilling the pin and re-pinning/cap welding a sufficiently long, silencer-compatible brake.

Took the words right out of my mouth.

It would be a nice compact rifle for use on a snomobile, boat, or 4 wheeler. Be interesting to see how the aluminum receiver holds up in extreme cold climates, after the barrel has been attached and reattached a few times. There are alot of trappers and Inuits shooting .223's in Ak.
