My wife bought me some .308 by accident.
I'm going to try and justify the purchase of a new gun, which is a tough sell in that the ammo only cost $25.
Anyway, I'm looking for something on the lower end of the scale, like under $600. I know that pretty much eliminates a lot of new rifles right off the bat, especially semi autos (other than maybe a Remington 740/742)
I don't mind used, sporterized, milsurp, etc. I've always been interested in the Ishapore Enfield rifles factory chambered in .308.
I had my eyes on a CETME (HK G3 clone) but it seems they've increased in price.
The Remington 740 series and 760 series are within my price range, and of the two I'd prefer the 760.
.308 conversions of the French MAS 49/56 are hit or miss, but they have my interest as well, and are in the range of what I'm willing to spend.
What else is out there? I know I've got to be missing something. Not really looking for run of the mill stuff available on every gun store shelf nationwide.
