How much do you want to spend? Armalite AR 10-T, AR 10A4, AR 10A2 Knights Mfg SR 25 H&K PSG 1 Springfield Inc M1A SuperMatch, M21, M25 H&K SL7 H&K SR9 H&K 91 FMP G3S FAL---Custom built by a FAL smith who knows what he's doing... FAL---DSA FAL---Springfield Inc SAR 48, SAR 4800 M1 Garand built with 7.62 bbl These should give you a starting point... |

Well..the $800 or less certainly puts a cramp on things...other wise I would advise you to go with a new M1A. In your case the best route would be to get a hold of a CMP M1 Garand then send it in to a good gunsmith to have it rebuilt into a national match .308 M1 Garand. Gunsmiths such as Accuracy Speaks can build you a very accurate M1 Garand for a fraction of the cost of what Fulton Armory charges. There are also a lot other very good M1 Garand specialists out there as well. |
| There are lots of cheap 308 bullet launchers out there...$800 will not get you max 2 MOA unless you luck into that 1 in 1000 rifle/load combination. I gave up on that quest a long time ago. Best to save your pennies for an AR-10T or M-1A. Next best bet is to find a used Browning BAR with BOSS like BigDozer66 said. It can be "tuned" to the load, but still no guarantee for 2 MOA. Only other alternative is a bolt gun - Savage 10FP. |

Imbel receiver $199. @ Aims. Grade 1 Stg-58 parts kit $300. @ JT US parts $100. @ DSA arms You can build up the rifle in less than 20 min. What you will end up with is a rifle that will shoot 1 1/2" @ 100yds with surplus ammo(Port/Radway/SA). When you order the parts kit, Make sure that the barrel is clean and fresh. If it's not, call JT and have them send you a new kit, or barrel. Spend some time @ www.fnfal.com Or, you can e-mail me and I can walk you threw the build. So far I have built up 24 rifles(mine and friends) all have shot under 2" moa. A "like new" barrel is the key. If you want to shoot under 1" moa, you can hand load and turn off the gas sytem to acheive the goal. So far my best is .70 with hand loads, gas system on but just enough to cycle the action. This rifle was built on a DSA receiver using a Global parts kit(like new), DSA US parts including one of there muzzle brakes, with the trigger worked to 3lb with zero creep. The rifle is loud, but I can shoot it all day long due to the lack of recoil. P.S. Goatboy, the site is loading really slow. |
