*** I have another thread running about a Garand scout and this will relate to that***
I am wanting .308 MBR and a Scout rifle.
Currently I have a Cetme which I didn't do enough research on and do not like the fact that it doesn't lock back after the last round :banghead:
1. I have thought of ordering a rack grade Garand from CMP and converting it to a 308 and making it into a scout. This could field a middle ground between the Scout and MBR.
I see cost running around $800-1000 with no optics and could probably be a handy rifle.
2. I am looking at the Soutmans 308 Enfields at $600. They look like nice rifles and more traditional scout rifles.
I am also looking at possibly a Ohio Rapid Fire FAL or some sort of 308 AR.
3. I could also go with the M1A from SA.
Currently the MBR is higher on the wish list mainly because I have no clue when they might not be readily available. I see the Scout as an easier rifle to obtain.
However if I go the Garand route it will be pushed forward so I can get in on the CMP rifles.
Thanks guys. These decisions always hurt me
