so ... someone could not otherwise mount a light, sling, and flash-hider on a free-floated, mid-length DPMS (or Karstog), and have a "true HD" rifle?!

DPMS for a "true" home defense rifle? Yikes!

Lights can be taken off when used in competition and be put back on when used for home defense. It doesn't need to be zeroed it's not that hard to unscrew a few nuts

I never said you couldn't. It is our business practice not to speak about other manufacturers rifles, however I would highly encourage anyone looking to buy a rifle to compare some hard specs before they spend their cash. Once you look at some hard specs and facts it is very easy to see where you should spend your money. I am not even going to go so far as say someone should only by our brand, however I do feel they are very high quality indeed. There are several manufacturers that make a very high-quality rifle and like I have said before a quality rifle is just that, a quality rifle. Sadly, there are other manufacturers out there who do not make as high quality of product as one would be let on to believe.

Like I said before, you can set up a great home defense rifle with light, sling etc. and use that in three gun competition and still do very well and have a lot of fun. My first three gun match, I was rocking a rifle that had a light on it and it ran just fine even with the light still on it :-).

I would take a Korstog over a Colt 9 out of 10 times and that one time would be to sell the Colt to some idiot on gunbroker for $2k during a panic.

My 3 gun rifle has a 350 lumen light, 11" Larue handguard, AAC flash hider, and a quick detach Blue Force sling, 16" bbl. No special trigger or comp. I may not be the fastest in the world, but never wanted to be. I just want fun and trigger time. It works just fine. Around the Fort Wood area, I am not alone with this type of configuration. It goes back to the shoot what you carry philosophy.

My old 20" heavy bbl is retired from 3-gun and sports a 400 lumen light and bi-pod. The Arredondo quick release bi-pod mounts are fantastic.
