HK MR762 - piston
LMT MRP .308 DI Or pick up one of the $110 lowers from Brownells and build your own in 6.5 creedmoor with quality components. |

Battle rifle and precision shooter? Get both in one gun: M1A National Match. Don't get me wrong...the M1A/M-14 is a cool rifle, but it hardly holds a candle to other options with regards to accuracy (without serious work), ergonomics, and optics mounting optics....not even beginning to discuss weight. |

For your needs I'd get the SCAR. It'll run nice and clean suppressed and will bang steel all day at 500 yards.

A battle and a precision rifle are two different things. This. But I would recommend a Rhino Arms .308. I'd put its accuracy against a Larue any day and I love Larue rifles. |

LMT MWS. Rock-solid reliable, sub-MOA accuracy.
ETA: mine had the stainless steel barrel 18" |

He needs a modern, ergonomic 7.62 capable of mounting optics in a non-retarded manner. For what it's worth to people in a similar situation, My AR10 shoots under, over, and around 1 MOA with black hill 168 and an armalite "infantry weight" chrome lined barrel. No piston nonsense. Just a geisselle trigger, decent optics, and a free float tube. And it's reliable too.

Of the ones you listed OBR 20". But a FAL is the Battle Rifle.

This is what I did;
Lightweight 308 battle rifle; SCAR 17 + Elcan, Giesslie, Handl Defense Lower for mag compatibility Midweight 308 is a LMT, 20" stainless barrel Heavy/Precision; Barret MRAD in 338 Lapua with barrel swap to 308. Works for me |

SR25 ECC, APC, or ACC with a mk8 CQBSS gets my vote. Accurate, reliable, and lots of features. You might be able to snag one of the trade in EMC guns if you look around. The LMT is pretty good. Ability to swap barrels is nice, and you can get 6.5/7.62/.260 barrels for it. Bit heavy, but pretty reasonably priced. SCAR H is light and reliable, and the aftermarket is slowly catching up. |

SCAR if under 500 is your goal.

Thanks for all the feedback and thoughts on this guys/gals .... Lots of really good options in the $2500-$3500 price range .... I would like a SR25 (KAC) but I am just not sure I can justify the price over one of the other options
Lots of nice rigs posted up in here as well
