Quoted: Yup. SCAR was a huge disappointment for me. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted: Quoted: It's how I imagine finding out I need to spend another grand on a trigger, grip, sling mounts and basic loadout of proprietary mags after throwing ~$3K at a 2MOA rifle that eats optics. http://i.imgur.com/pQzDcYc.jpg Yup. SCAR was a huge disappointment for me. If they were ~$2500 they'd be worth the price of admission with all of its flaws. Quoted: I've got an LRP-07. Its a hammer. But heavy and a different gun than my APC308. You can get an APC308 for less than a JP or LMT. IM me if you are really interested. https://i.imgur.com/fc8rEjR.jpg https://i.imgur.com/FyFETTd.jpg?2 I wish but these days squeezing a Tisas out of my fun budget is a stretch. I'm just bitterly window shopping until after election/riot season ends |

Quoted: See, I really want an APC308 but not for more than an LRP-07 or a spare MWS. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted: Quoted: My APC 308 was okay for accuracy but the LMT MARS-H kicks the other rifles to the curb in accuracy. https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/2851/IMG_2874_jpeg-3188244.JPG See, I really want an APC308 but not for more than an LRP-07 or a spare MWS. @feetpiece Bereli has a 14.5 pinned APC308 with stock and elf trigger for $2800. Also have the DMR, with stock and elf trigger for $3100. I paid substantially more for my APC308 DMR and it didn’t come with a stock. Also you can usually find 10 or 15% coupon codes for their site too. |

I have owned a few 308 rifles and liked them all but the scar has been the best. |

View Quote Of those things all mine was is lightweight. Lost the tinnitus inducing brake and that smooth low recoil shooting goes away. 1/12 sucks for any decent long range bullets. The MWS blows all the battle rifles I’ve tried clean out of the water. |

Owned a number of HK91s, a couple of M1A's a couple of FALs, & one Mega MATEN...
If you don't have stashed a bunch of 308 I wouldn't bother. Go with the Ruger in 6.5 or 6 CM |

I haven't pulled the FAL out of the safe in ~20 years |

That’s the spirit! |

What city are you in?
I see you already bought an AR-10. If you are interested / in the market for a new SFAR or one of the other things used, there are some local possibilities, depending on where you're at. Lots of used, like new condition, M-1As floating around here lately. |

They had a new SFAR on the wall for $969ish (with cash discount) and 5% sales tax. Used M1As, a pretty beat up old FAL and some G3 knock off. Some Dudes selling some decent looking .308 stuff on Colorado gun trader too. |

Quoted: For an autoloading .308/7.62NATO, I'm partial to the FAL and BM59. https://i.imgur.com/YxgkJ5c.jpg View Quote This is my AWB induced collection: Attached File SCAR 20S, SCAR 17S, APC308 (pinned 14.3"), LMT MWS .308 (Piston), GALIL ACE, POF Revolution (14.5" Piston) & TAVOR 7. I've shot all but the GALIL and TAVOR7 (just got those out of jail last week). I also just got my Huxwrx FLOW 762 Ti today... going to have a long Saturday soon trying all of these suppressed and will report back. So far, shooting unsuppressed, the APC308 is the smoothest (with a KAC MAMS brake I'm gonna have cut off), the POF is smooth, super lite and handy, my SCAR 17 is a do-it-all. Once I've put 1k rds through that POF, it might be my favorite, depending on how it behaves suppressed. The APC parts situation is questionable. |

While I was transferring the lower, I saw a buddy of mine at the shop. He bought a can.
He picked up his can before Kalirado let me have my lower. Now I'm 7.62 can shopping. |

View Quote You could have done worse than a PSA AR10, especially for the price. Good start. My personal favorite is a POF P308 Gen4 with a fluted barrel. But then POF ceased production and ditched it for the “small frame” Revolution, which has not had the same reliability and accuracy, “but it’s 4 whole ounces lighter and 1.5” shorter!!!!” Here’s a taste of the San Bernardino Sheriff’s Department’s experience putting 68,000 rounds through a 14.5” full auto P308: https://pof-usa.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/AfterActionReport.pdf |

Quoted: WTF? My SCAR 17S does .75 MOA with handloaded 168 gr HPBT Noslers. View Quote Did about 10 MOA at first. FN tried to blame the Smith Vortex flash hider I replaced the garbage PWS brake with. I told them to take it off and shoot it bare muzzle then. They did with the same result. Century Arms must have the sub contract for their barrel crowning. Either way…FN fixed the crown and it came back for some actual accuracy testing. Only thing it ever shot decent was 155 Palma’s. And that was after replacing the trigger and gas jet. It was still nowhere near accurate enough to be a DMR type rifle. Ditched that turd for a LMT MWS and been sub MOA ever since with zero effort. |

Quoted: Will this kill my Romeo5? LPVO soon... https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/21318/IMG_20240506_183547663_2-3207486.jpg View Quote I had one on a M1A Scout mount. Moved it to a Piston AR10 never an issue. |

Gröövy.
It got hits with my SBR out to 300. Thinking it'll do the same here for awhile. |

Had HK91 years ago. Sold it like an idiot.
Edit... And yes, 3.99 mags back in the day. Lol |
