Have a Sig 716 which is a great shooter. Short stroke pushrod operating system, free floating barrel, aluminum quad rail forend , telescoping stock, and Magpul furniture. With tax around $2.2k for FDE, shop around could find it cheaper or wait for sale, but 9.5 lbs.

I don't think you need to spend a bunch to get a good AR10. I have the S&W M&P10. It eats everything I feed it, is accurate as hell and only weighs 8 lbs.
Sure, some parts are proprietary but I don't think that's uncommon in an AR10. |

I don’t mind spending money to get a reliable gun. Would like chrome bore as well.

Hello all. So I have been saving for a bit now and am at the point where I can drop some money on some gear and a new rifle. Bulk of the money I saved is going for night vision. However, I have a few extra bucks for a rifle. Was thinking about getting something in 308 in an AR configuration. Decided the scar is not for me. Was looking at dd5v1 or colt 901. Trying to stay around 2500ish and unloaded weight of the rifle be under 9lbs. Any opinion on these rifles? Any other suggestions? In fact, get one in 6.5 creedmoor. There is a pretty big 6.5 creedmoor thread that has a bunch of nice rifles in it. Might want to check that out. Anything that's available in 6.5 will be available in 308. https://www.ar15.com/forums/ar-15/Official-6-5-Creedmoor-AR-Discussion-Photo-Thread/121-713912/ |

I'm real impressed with the SR762.

Psa has AR-10 for $600 ish. I bought a DPMS oracle for $700 ish. Have 1500 into it now with hanguard and scope, sling PG and bi pod. Over 3k rounds and she shoots. I only have a 100 yd range though. If I were going to spend over 2k scar 17 it would be.

I don’t mind spending money to get a reliable gun. Would like chrome bore as well. I have the LM8 and can run it with either the 16" C/L barrel or the 18" SS SPR barrel. I run both set-ups suppressed. Theoretically, the LM8 is a bit lighter due to the omission of rails on the forend at the 3, 6, and 9-o'clock points. But you have the option to add modular railage as needed, say, for a bipod, light, or foregrip. The Brits adopted the MWS after extensive field trials involving a number of different 7.62 gas guns. |

I have an Armalite DEF10 and a S&W MP-10.
Both are under 9 lbs, both are very accurate, and both have been 100% reliable. ETA - Both work with Magpul, DPMS, Fulton Armory, and Remington 7.62 AR mags. |

I bought a DPMS GII. The Recon model. Stainless steel barrel. Around 8 lbs.
I've changed the handguard, gas block and butt stock. Only malfunction was a failure to feed correctly on a round from the third SA battle pack. Brass ejected, next round didn't get picked up from the magazine, had one bullet hole 2" below the others at only 25 yds. I assumed it was a weak round. |

The Daniel Defense rifle is a fine choice I would buy anything from them with confidence. Myself I went the SCAR 17s route but I do plan to add an AR10 to the family but I am looking at building or a LaRue OBR or tOBR but that is out of your price bracket. Knights Armament makes great 7.62 rifles as well but I think they are going to be out of your price bracket. If you have a line on the DD rifle in your price bracket I would go for it.

I have a few more to add to the list after doing some research. I like the the DD, colt, aero and Armalite. I know the DD is the most expensive but I like DD. Great company
