Stag Arms: 2012 Executive Survivor's Kit

[CmdrSlander]

What do you guys think of this silliness: http://www.stagarms.com/product_info.php?cPath=13_45&products_id=368

I think it isn't all that silly actually, the idea of having a rifle, some food and ammo ready to go isn't silly at all come to think of it.

 

[Aiko492]

Nice concept, good marketing. Price is insane.

 

[CmdrSlander]

The Eotech isn't cheap, neither is the Pelican case, and the gun's MSRP is around $1,000

 

[ACP]

Yeah, CEOs need a rifle/meal kit to keep them safe on the run from all the workers they are laying off.

Ain't that what the BGs are for??

What's the 'mid-level manager's kit' ? A revolver and a Snickers bar?

And the line workers get a ballpoint pen and a peanut??

Stupid x2.

 

[CmdrSlander]

I believe the idea is that it is "Executive Grade" not for executives specifically

1 MRE? will let you survive til lunchtime i suppose

 

[DDawg]

2K is chump change to the people this setup is geared to..
Still a good idea!

I think shoving your boomstick in a golf bag might be wiser.. more capacity, blend in better and your hands are free.

That is freakin hilarious, LOL

 

[Zerodefect]

I'd eat the MRE immediately. I love those things. Unless it's chowder, Who invented the chowder MRE?

Looks like I could fit a bunch of mags where the MRE used to be.

 

[cthulhufan]

I like it. I'm not really big on AR rifles but if that's a decent rifle it's actually pretty cool. Price is up there but it is a good sight and great case plus comes with a field repair kit. MRE should get you by until you find a fishing hole or some tasty tree rats

 

[jogar80]

I just think there should be a lot more MRE paks in there. I mean at least 7.... mmm, it's lunchtime... maybe i'm just hungry

 

[NeuseRvrRat]

if you really wanted to be prepared for "survival", you'd be better off just dumping out the case and filling it with food and water.

 

[LoonWulf]

MRE is kinda goofy if you ask me, i could see using the space for something else, whole crap pile of tigers milk or something LOL. I could also do without the Eotech, but other then that it looks kinda nifty to keep in the tool box of my truck, or trunk of my cars. Not that i can afford that kinda price tag LOL

 

[Rembrandt]

Some of you are missing the obvious.....with the provided ammo you can shoot your next meal and dress it out with the Gerber. If you really wanted a more balanced package...add a .22 conversion kit, couple hundred rounds of long rifle, and a small water filtration unit.

 

[cthulhufan]

Yep. Plenty of room in that Pelican case for a conversion kit and several hundred rounds of .22 LR. Good point.

 

[Thefabulousfink]

the price for the gear is good, but 1 MRE is kind of silly. Sure I could nurse 1 MRE for 2 days or more if I had to, but for this kind of kit I'd either want more food, or more equipment.

get rid of the MRE and add a belt with a mag pouch and gp pouch to carry all that gear if you need to hightail it in a hurry.

 

[jeepnik]

Expensive, yes. But, think of the target market. As to the parsity of food stuffs, well, this isn't designed as a bug out bag. Just something to be kept in the car/office for emergencies. And, let's face it, most emergencies are fairly short lived.

In addtion, I would imagine that anyone with the where with all to afford this, and the desire for it, would likely have additional supplies on hand. Besides, it does have a certain James Bond cool factor to it.

Heck, I've already got a Stag, I think I'll pick up an appropriately sized Pelican case and make my own. I always wanted to be James Bond when I was a kid.

Hmm, maybe that's why I bought my AR-7 in the first place. Helicopters beware.

 

[hogshead]

Loved ACP's reply. Still laughing. I noticed the first aid kit was for pets too. Maybe if the mre gets gone they could eat their pet.

 

[kfgk14]

I could do far better for the money. Well, I have done far better for the money. But this isn't a "my go-bag is cooler than your go-pelican case" thread, so I'll drop the bone now.

 

[Fishbed77]

An Aimpoint (with its insane battery life) would make a lot more sense on this rifle than an Eotech.

But lets be honest - this is just a novelty item for people with more money than sense.

Two magazines and sixty rounds? Seriulz?

Overall, the price isn't too bad once you really look at what it includes, I just think there should be more than two magazines and more than sixty rounds. Conversion kit and a brick of ammo is an outstanding idea. If they are going to stick with two magazines, I don't know why they wouldn't include a little stock pouch for the second magazine, like the M1 Carbines used to rock.

 

[CmdrSlander]

The stock pouch would likely interfere with the operation of the charging handle.
