so I've wanted to have a precision .308 for years but costs always kept it a dream.

prices have gone down and funds have been better

what recommendations do you have for an AR in the MOA or less category

hoping to stay under 2 grand

Probably going to have to build one to stay within budget. Keep in mind that part of your MOA or less variable means a quality scope unless you've got that box already checked.

Is this 2k before or after optics?

It would be nice if it included a scope but I know that might not be possible

If you don't mind buying factory assembled, Aero Precision is within your budget. Unless you feel like you have to build it yourself, that is what I would do. I got a used Maten with SSA-E and UBR for less than $1500, so the deals can be had.

Here is mine. AR10T got it used on the EE with the barrel already threaded for the comp and prs stock already on it. Just added my glass and bipod. Have roughly 1800 in it total. Shoots sub moa all day. These guns can be bought on CTD for around 1600 iirc.

I'd second the Armalite complete rifle. I had a 20" A4 upper, and it shot very well. I never shot for tight groups, but how well it shot for me, i know i could've dialed it way down if i really tried and had a scope. This was with a non free floated barrel.

I shot with only irons, but it was extremely consistent.

You can build a very nice rifle for under $2k. Just try to find all your furniture used and you'll do real good. People swap out hand guards and stocks all the time. Just gotta be ready to jump when you see it.

I think it's possible. Aero M5 set from Schuyler Arms, fixed Magpul stock and budget FF rail with some very focused shopping on a good barrel and trigger and a Vortex scope. Smart shopping for the little parts and this will get you fairly close to the two grand mark.  Maybe...or maybe I'm crazy...
