Looking to spend about a grand on a .308. Give me pros and cons for each. Quality? Reliability? Accuracy?

Quoted:
Not a fan of DPMS and the PTR91 or G3 clones are a PITA to clean. If you want something in .308 that's handy, reliable, and accurate then buy a Ruger GSR. Just my .02 I've been looking at a PTR/G3 myself and have heard how dirty they can get. I own several DI AR-15's and have let one go about 400-500 rounds between cleanings. How would a PTR/G3 compare to this? Thanks. |

if i was in the market i would look for a vepr in .308. centerfire systems had som stragglers in the $400-500 range.
maybe a saiga conversion. can't get much simpler than ak fieldstripping 
i have dsa stg58, but i hear pretty bad reviews about the newer dsa stuff. |
The PTR is simply a few notches above anything from DPMS, and I have had both (traded the PTR for an M1A and never looked back  ). Recoil on the PTR was very mild, and the accuracy was acceptable at roughly 2" at 100m with older early 80's LC M80 ball. The DPMS was just a piece of junk. Picky eater, super tight magwell (PMAG's didn't fit), improperly staked gas key, loose gas block from the factory, etc etc.
