I've got a semi-auto .308 itch...

[DeadLiver]

Oh man, I've had this itch for a long time! Now that I've traded my Glock away for my 1911, it's time to figure out how to scratch it...The SOCOM 16 speaks to me, literally. It has to be the most fun I've ever gotten to shoot in my life. However, I keep looking longingly at DPMS or a full size M1A to truly harness the capabilities of a .308. Ideally, I'd just buy them all and sell any I didn't like to you guys, but I don't have the funding atm for even one...But on a budget I'd probably find myself to a DPMS Sportical.

They are a blast! I was blessed to fall into a great deal on one with a number of magazines, barely used, at a decent price a year or two back...

 

[DeadLiver]

Hardshell, I'm very jealous. The last one I saw in my neck of the woods was $1879. $1200 or so would be more realistic imo.

XCR-M, maybe.

Supposedly should be out this year. I wouldn't be surprised if it got delayed to next year, don't get your hopes up.

These are old photos, Just imagine them with DPMS/SR-25 mags. And minus the grip safety.

 

[Wolfsburg]

That's pretty cool. One to keep an eye on...

If you're not intothe saiga. Go to jgsales.com and look at the cetme 308. $600 for a great rifle and then accessorize to your hearts content.

My M1A national match is by far the nicest gun I own.

Here's my little semi-auto .308 "puppy".....



Here's my best load & grouping with it......& it's only a standard model...nothing fancy.

My local gun shop just had one of these come in the other day ...

... it has the SA58 Extreme Duty Para Scope Mount installed. Asking price is $1,850 ... seems like a fair price.

At the other end of the spectrum between the Saiga and the FAL, the Remington 750s are available for $612 (synthetic stock, carbine or rifle) and $692 (walnut stock, carbine or rifle) delivered at Buds Gun Shop.

Classic Arms also has the CETME rifles for $600 with two mags.

 

[H2O MAN]

When it comes to a semi-auto .308 it is best that one sticks with the reliable FAL and M1A/M14 variants.

... or AR-10 variants.

H2O MAN, I just noticed that you have that LaRue QD mount "backwards" on that M1A with the folding stock ..... very clever!!

That's not my Mod 1, but it is a clever use of LaRue's SPR-E LT-139.

I prefer the LaRue LT-608 on my SAGE EBR stocks. The 608 is made for the Mod 1.

 

[MCMXI]

Would that LaRue LT-608 work on a Springfield M1A Scout? It does look like a rigid and practical set up with QD capability.

 

[H2O MAN]

I don't think it would work on a Springer forward mount.

I know I really want a Fulton Armory FAR.308 Titan
