Ever since I got my Mk12Mod1 I've liked semi auto precision rifles more and more (with the Ops Inc suppressor and USO 1-8 this thing is unbeatable within 500-600 yards). I always thought they were kind of meh from my hands on experience with the G3A3, but that was more of a battle rifle pushed into a SPR/DM role than anything.
Right now, I'm on the fence and have slowly been kicking around a 308 AR. I already have all the dies, brass and projectiles I can stand as my bolt is a 308; thinking I may go back into 300 WinMag territory with the bolt but we'll see. I just foresee myself using the semi auto 10 times as often as they tend to be lighter, just about as accurate and more modifiable in general. The only thing I'd need are 308 magazines, and that shouldn't be hard.
So I've been watching a lot of 308 AR / AR10 threads and anytime I start to lean towards one, I read not so great reviews or negative field reports about it as well. I would vastly prefer to 'buy once cry once' rather than buy one and then spend the next year dicking around with switching out the barrel, add this, remove that, etc. I know there will be people saying get a GAP 10, and while I am interested in them, their wait times are a huge turn off for me and I feel that there can be some custom and/or factory rifles out there that can closely compete with the GAP 10; I would like some input.
Was looking at the Armalite Super SASS, but think it may be one of the rifles where I'd want to re-barrel it, etc. The REPR has 50% great reviews, and the other 50% are meh. Also not interested in anything LaRue for multiple reasons.
Thoughts?
