[ARCHIVED THREAD] - What 7.62 battle rifle would you recommend today? (Page 1 of 6)

Posted: 9/17/2019 4:04:05 PM EDT

Watching "siege of jadotville" and FAL porn has me intrigued...

Preferably rifle that doesn't weigh 20 pounds...

M1 Garand. Go with a classic. Sure, the M14 clones or FALs work, but there is something to be said for wood and steel.

Current version of the AR-10. Says someone who owns an M-14.

Inrange/Primary&Secondary just did a set of vids on it.
Spoiler- the BR10 won.

SR-25 pattern AR, and plenty of spare parts to keep it running for years to come

Or a well-made AR10 type. Hard to know what's what with that world though.

XCR-M or SCAR.

17 for a battle rifle, MWS for a DMR. KAC if I couldn’t decide. The KAC CC looks like a damn good compromise though.

A large frame AR with a lighter weight receiver set and a faxon pencil will get into the small frame weight class.

Posted: 9/17/2019 4:17:00 PM EDT

[#29]

As a G3 owner, uh, AR10.

Other than for retro reasons there's no reason to not get an AR10

FPNI

FAL is only about 12 lbs.

That's what I have, along with an M1A.

FAL, if you like camo shorts and hightop sneakers.
AR-10 is the answer
maybe a CZ Bren BR if you want to buy something different, if it's even available yet...

FAL. Or L1A1. Better yet, both.

I really like Imbel.

But short barrels on 7.62x51? No thank you. My tinnitus is bad enough from loud amps and shooting.

Sort of want.

I should probably clarify that I have a LWRC REPR for DMR work. Easily weighs 20 pounds with optic and bipod, etc. Fantastic at range though.

I was wanting something that could be carried vs only useful in static position.

POF Revolution. 7 lb 308. Piston or DI.

FAL or Scar are my favorites. DSA makes a great scope mount for the FAL and you can find smaller barrel lengths if you so desire. Mines a Belgian parts kit I had them build on their lower. I hit 4/10 at 1000 with it using an Atibal 1-10 FFP scope in a Larue mount. I had to use an improvised check rest.
If I had the money I’d probably get the Scar 20 because I hit at 1000 4/5 shots. So 80% is better but less than two grand on a scope and rifle is better for my wallet.
