In the back of my mind for a while has been this little nagging voice--"you need an accurate, scoped autoloader in .308".
I have a DSA Standard and Carbine along with an SAR-48. None of which are ideal platforms for scopes. I was hoping to find a sub MOA autoloader with match ammo.
The possibles:
DSA--Medium contour or Hbar gun with a custom fixed scope mount and trigger job (pro--takes FAL mags, con--expensive for the gun/mount).
HK 91 tricked out with PSG-1 goodies or at least a good adjustable buttstock and Williams set trigger. Pro--it's an HK, Con--very expensive.
HK PSG-1. Pro--it is an HK. Con--my wife would rip my nuts off if I ever spent $13k on a gun (and I am rather fond of most of my body parts, and would like to keep them attached).
M1A--a definite possible, accurate enough if worked over by a good gunsmith. Pro--not as expensive, mags are moderately priced. Con--Doesn't have a pistol grip.
AR-10--definitely accurate enough, Pro--not terribly expensive (especially as an Eagle Arms gun), Con--mags are godawful expensive for it.
So, I am back to a new possibility--the AR-10 from ASA that takes FAL mags. I realize ASA had some quality problems in the past, but I seem to recall someone mentioning that they are doing better lately. The FAL mags would be a definite plus, and the flat top is a nice built in scope mount.
Does anyone have experience with their recent products or this gun in particular?
I would have asked this at the ASA industry forum, but it is kind of dead over there.
Thanks,
