My list:
1)AR-Real easy to make and maintain near bolt gun accuracy, though reliability MAY suffer. 2)M1A-Need to use high dollar scope mount and good bedding to ensure accuracy. The G-3 and FAL are weapons I've just plinked with (other folks setups), but from what I've seen they GENERALLY cannot acheive the accuracy of the AR or M1A. Scope mounting options are much easier than the M1A though for both rifles. HTH |

AR-10 tops the cake, all things being equal.

M1A with irons, who needs a scope?

In "Life After Doomsday," which is pretty dated by now, the accuracy of the HK91 (civilian G3) is praised -- something like 3/8" three-shot groups at 100 yds. That's why I've had the impression that G3 ranks at the top in accuracy. There's also some verbiage in various places about delayed blowback being inherently more accurate than a gas system, but I couldn't really explain why.

An AR-pattern .308, be it an Armalite, KAC, Bushmaster, DPMS, or other, has the potential to shoot as well as a PSG-1 for 1/5 the price or less. This is simply due to the basic design, which allows for an easily free-floated barrel and only a gas tube otherwise connecting it to the receiver. You could have a GA Precision-built AR10 for under $2,200 that would SMOKE *ANY* M14/M1A, FAL, HK/CETME (except possibly the PSG-1), and most bolt rifles.
That "stupid gas-tube design" allows for incredible accuracy if the rifle is set up right. -Troy |

That's something I hadn't thought about while cursing the tube design and wishing for a piston... Always during cleaning of course. Now that you point it out is seems like it should be obvious. Makes me wonder just how accurate I can get that SEBR AR10 rifle. Haven't shot for groups yet really. |

So far I'm impressed with my SEBR AR10. If _I_ can get 4" groups at 100 yards with my aimpoint red dot, poor form and caffeine-riddled body using surplus ammo and general lack of rifle skills, then a real shooter should be able to do pretty well with it.

I gotta say that I have been extremely surprised by my out-of-the-box AR10A2. Irons and Aimpoint sitting with bipod will keep groups inside two inches with several holes touching (and my eyes aren't very good). With a 10x optic, prone and bipod I have several groups under 1/2" at 100 yards. My rifle is very capable. I wish I was as good a shot as my rifle is capable. Good Luck |
