Ohio Ordnance HCAR

We posted about the HCAR earlier this year. Well apparently it was released this month. Kit Up! got a chance to play with it at the range.
According to Kit Up! it has a hydraulic buffer which dampens the recoil to that of an AR-15. The one complaint is the weight. 11.75 lbs with only a 16″ barrel and that is empty not even loaded. Retail is set at $4,700.

This looks like the aftermath of a 3 way between an M60, a Highpoint and an AR
"Heavy" in .30-06 is not a bad thing. Shooting a .30-06 1903A3 from the bench with the metal buttplate pretty much punctuates my sentiments on the subject. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE the 1903 and its history, but at 60 I find myself getting a little recoil sensitive.
And a .300 Win Mag in a 1950s J.C. Penny Parker Hale lite-weight "Safari" rifle that I recently won at a gun auction? Wow! Good thing I replaced the crusty recoil pad with a modern one before shooting that combo!
