Quote HistoryQuoted:
.308 Winchester chambers, not 7.62 NATO, eh? That will handle 7.62 NATO fine, correct? If anyone here buys a PA/PX-10 I would recommend using only .308 ammo as the case wall is thinner like the chamber was designed for. It would not be my choice of a rifle if most of the ".308" you have is 7.62x51mm. The two FAL's and M14S i used to have never had a problem like this for me to think about as they all had chrome lining and 7.62x51mm chambers. Its good if all your going to do with it is scope it and tune it for accuracy, but not a good rifle for military surplus ammo blasting. ETA: My PA10 is a Gen 1 near when they first came out to replace my Norinco M-14s that was a PITA to put a scope on correctly. I wish I still had my first FAL. Don't get me wrong though. the PA10 is ok if your going to load your own or use .308 commercial loads for hunting/accuracy etc.. Hopefully this issue has been addressed in the Gen 2 or PX10. I want to shoot 7.62x51 personally and will swap out when the PX10 is available with a CHF FN barrel that is Chrome-lined and 7.62nato chamber. -or other brand if I see one. Maybe the Ruger. |

So if you have no .308 rifles, but get one of these, what optic would you recommend for distance?

I need to start learning more about glass. The thing is, to me in a store all the scopes look great. The only time I went wow was when I looked through an acog. But then I have never asked to see the scopes upwards of a thousand. And I never hardly shoot at a hundred, just mainly plink and peck at about 50yd. Got the room but just don't much.

My current .308 AR started off as a PSA special, except now it has a MI forend, Rainier match barrel, and POF drop in trigger. Even with the PSA barrel, it was a solid 1.5" gun with 168s.

If it does b/c of your cheerleading I will hunt you down and beat you with all 10 goddamn pounds of it, and then dump my standard load on your head. The M4A1 w/ M855A1 does just fine, thank you. The interim combat service rifle will not be adopted because of my cheerleading trust me. I think it's a horrible idea, but if it must happen at least it can be a small frame AR-10 that weighs 7.8lbs, and is only barely larger than the AR-15. |
