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 |

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. |

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. |

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 |

Originally Posted By PointBlank82: 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. |
