I am looking for another .308 rifle to add to the collection. I want the rifle to be somewhat lightweight as I intend to shoot offhand with it, for example, the Sig 716 is too heavy for this requirement. In addition, a 1:12 or 1:11 twist would be preferred as I plan to only shoot 149 grain bullets out of the gun. My current budget is $2100
.308 Rifles I currently own: 1.Scar 17s 2.M1A scout 3.Sig 716 4.Remington 700 AAC-SD . 308 rifles to ugly to own: 
1. FN FAL 2. VEPR .308 Should I just continue saving and buy another SCAR 17s? Should I get an M1A socom? Arfcom, help me want a gun I don’t yet know exists.

Hell, you already have everything I would recommend!
If you want to try for truly lightweight, shop around for a 308 AR w either carbon furniture or MOE. You could easily do it for under 2100 w a DPMS 308 |

Built your own lightweight AR-10 pattern SBR? There you go...If you start now, maybe have collected enough parts to get started in say...2 years. 
Also, SBR .308s are great. Giant fireballs and noise and wake wash, very popular at the range.

This sounds interesting as I had never considered DPMS. How is their quality these days?

That pic is angling the ugly parts away. I just really don't like the way the receiver, pistol grip, and most of all trigger guard look on a FAL.
The SCAR is so amazing in every other way that its humble appearance can be overlooked and even starts to grow on you. So far doing my own build appears to be the best option. Quote HistoryQuote HistoryQuoted:

The FAL is ugly?
No. Not even on a bad hair day. That weapon is pretty well designed and darn functional. I don't like the operator controls for the magazine and bolt releases being too small to be smashed/poked like the AR pattern. That said it would be one of the last rifles I would sell in hard times. |
