I am looking to buy a good semi auto .308 rifle. I have narrowed my list down to Armalite's AR-10 Super SASS, Larue Tactical's OBR, or Knights Armament's SR-25 (or a M-110 if they ever get around to releasing that to the public). I am looking to find some firsthand knowledge and experiance on these weapon systems, both good and bad. Any info would be greatly appreciated: too long, too heavy, jamming and malfunction problems, problems with replacement parts, etc.

Re: first hand knowledge of semi suto rifles
Search function below in my sig line is a good place to start with general "Which One???" type questions like your post. Tons of excellent information to be had on each of the platforms you referenced and likely some comparisons for your reading pleasure.
Also, Knight Industries made crappy Trans Am KITT cars for crappier 1980's TV shows...you mean KNIGHT'S ARMAMENT!!

Re: first hand knowledge of semi suto rifles
Based on my personal experience.
Armalite SASS.....mine would double feed and jam every mag and couldn't get it under 2 MOA regardless of ammo. Sold it after 3 months, hated it.
I've never owned an OBR but have shot one. Dead nuts accurate and great build quality.
Knights Armament.....too expensive when other guns costing much less do the exact same thing.
You left LWRC REPR out of your choices.
Mine is 100% reliable and is very very accurate.
This was a 10 round group with Federal Gold Medal Match

If it was me I would look at the LMT MWS, the new Monolithic MA-T from Mega machine build by a gunsmith of your choice, The JP LRP-07H, Remington RSASS, The Kaiser Works KR7 has some nice features as well.
