I'm looking into getting a .308 to supplement my AR-15 and need help deciding. 1. AR-10 2. FAL 3. G3 4. M-14 What do you guys suggest? Pros/Cons? I'd like light weight, low price, max effective range. |

I have owned or shot all of the rifles you listed. 1) G3: great gun, mags available, no frigging gas adjustment to fool with, just load & shoot. Groups are a bit to be desired though. Still have mine, Federal receiver. 2) FAL: decent gun, frigging gas adjust to fool with. Every time I changed ammo brands I had to readjust, a PITA. Sold mine. 3) M1A: had the real thing in the Marine Corps, shot many civvy versions since. Good rifle although accuracy with the standard set-up may not be perfect. Op rod problems are a bitch if encountered. 4) AR-10: just bought an Armalite. WONDERFUL gun!! Recoil is almost non-existant, great accuracy. Mags are seemingly a bugger to get in 20rd sizes. Conversion kits from Armalite seem to be the way to go there. I'll not part with this one!! Hope this helps. |

All are good guns. I prefer the AR10 out of all of them. A lot of the decision about an AR10 can be made by basically asking yourself if you want a gun just like your AR15. Some say no, they want more variety. Some say yes, it's eaiser to maintain/troubleshoot a rifle you're already familiar with. |
