If you want a .308 semi-auto, I recommend the FN-FAL. It's heavy, but a real attention getter. Check out DS Arms for the SA58 rifles.

+1 I have numerous and I mean numerous firearms and of all my semi-auto rifles the best round on the planet IMHO is the .308 so completely superior to the .223. Worth the extra weight. My DS Arms SA-58 is not a tactical version (solid buttsock and longer barrel) but man I can hammer nails with it, and YES it is an attention getter.



I also want a SCAR chambered in .308. Maybe thats just my absolute distain for AR platforms unless they are piston driven. I have a couple ARs but not a fan my favorite .223 rifle is my good ol mini-14

Larue Tactical OBR 7.62(capable of 1 moa at 300 yards) or Predator 7.62(Lighter and cheaper but still a sub moa gun) even with a 16" barrel.


Opinions should not be based of the AR10 platform. These new 7.62 KAC, LMT, Larue Tactical ect. are leaps and bounds ahead of its previous forms.

FAL accuracy leaves much to be desired.(kind of a cult following)

If I were deployed and could only choose one rifle it would be a 16" .308 period. And many many know why.

I also believe one of the more recent Ranger competitions sniping event was one by a team using the OBR. I might be wrong about the second part, but the semi auto 308 platform is coming on fast. The TAC teams where I work just went to GAP 10s from Rem 700s. The snipers I talked to said it wasn't as accurate as the REM 700 (with the same ammunition used in both) but said it was more than accurate for the job.

Ive seen test targets at .36 inch. Cant remember if it was 3 or 5 shot strings.
I cant do much better with my custom Rem 700. (shooter of course)

LMFAO you get what you pay for, buy a quality FAL. I did and its just as accurate as my bull barrel free float AR, if not more so.

I thought price was the selling feature of those guns. Now that Ive seen the prices for a quality new one ($1800!) I just ask WHY?

I do own one. FN FAL worth hella money and one of my safe queens. Heavy as hell and a b1tch to mod.


I would kick a puppy for a SCAR-H in .308

Yes I have been watching the prices of the SCAR drop for the last couple years when it gets a bit closer to 2k I will pick one up.

What do you guys think of the .50 Beowulf by Alexander Arms? The availability of the ammo is the main thing holding me back on that.

I'm gonna look at all of the .308's mentioned by you guys and that's why I posted I already have an AR15 I wouldn't mind if not prefer a different platform for my .308.

I built mine thinking I was gonna save a few bucks. Well, after wasting around $300 for gunshow parts not to mention paying for head spacing (thought it was cheaper than buying all the shoulders) twice. I could have bought one from DS Arms. I ended up buying an Aussie inch pattern chrome lined barrel and having it installed from them. Good people. Even though I paid too much, I love it and it's probably the most expensive thing in my house (excluding the garage). Like cars engines, I think "displacement" is important. The 30 cal stuff in rifles is always gone back to as the 45 cal is in handguns. Oh yeah, I do like my AR, too. Just not my favorite.

Hey guys, I think I have decided on what type of gun I want to purchase next - it will most likely be a .308 bolt gun. With that said I'm looking for some good recommendations. I would like something affordable but really good. No $3000 rifles please.

Remington Sendero SF 2. Comes built like a custom gun. Value wise great choice. Check out Sako .308s too. They have rifles that shoot from the factory like a custom built rifle(sub moa guarenteed).

Link to the Remington. I personally own this gun and cannot praise it enough.

I ordered a new pistol for the collection. Sig Sauer 1911R-45-tacops. Can't go get it for a few days. Pumped up.
