Decent priced .308 semi auto.

[wasralex22]

I've looked in several places.


Is their a decent priced semi auto .308 out there?
I know the FAL runs 1200 or more. But, that is just far to expensive. Anything out there for user $700 ?

 

[not new guy]

One of the HK91 clones might be your best bet in or near that price range, just make sure you do your homework on the make/model.

 

[PatMcD]

Well, you can probably get a Remington 742 for under $500, but I don't think that's what you're looking for.

 

[Tallen]

I think you'll be hard-pressed to find a semi-auto 308 for under $1k now. There're a few on armslist and gunbroker but at that price point I'd spend the money on a bolt gun and more ammo.

 

[wasralex22]

I know I've seen several Rifles for under $800. I can't remember the rifle name or brand.

So you're gonna skinflint out on something that eats ammo that costs like $500 a case?

Beat me to it.

Get a semi auto 7.62x54r OP.

I think a Cetme is gonna be your best option. An AR variant is gonna be $1500 and up. You're going to have to re think what "decently priced" means in regard to .308 if you want a semi auto.

 

[JCV]

Can't PTR91's be had for around $800?

You are going to Alaska. Get an 338 win mag bolt - accurate and pretty flat ! It is about shot placement IMHO. You have to worry about the 4 legged creatures eating you more so than the 2 legged ones! LOL. YMMV.

Century Arms (CAI) makes a HK91 clone - C308 Sporter - $799.95.
Worth a look.
Zero Hour Arms

With ammo near $1, the rifle is the cheap part of shooting 7.62.

 

[NavelOfficer]

Seem to be plenty of Winchester 100s out there for $400 or so...unless you seek a black gun type...

I was thinking the same thing. Growing up my dad's friend had a few semi auto rifles. I always thought they where cool.

 

[SKS Ray]

The cheapest ones that will run reliably are Veprs and Saigas. Some of the Century Cetme /PTR rifles can be problematic.

Shouldn't that read, anything that century touches can be problematic? LOL

I don't think that whole grinding down bolts thing will ever go away.

It kind of looks like you can put together an ar10 using psa parts for about 700$ or less right now, no optic or mags though

Yeah, complete upper is $450 and complete lower is $240 - total is $690.

Weird thing is if you bought a rifle by combining these two, it would be $850. Must be the mag.

And they wouldn't ship the rifle to MA anyway. I'm thinking I may need an AR-10 soon, but I think I'll wait until I move to a free state.

Check out the Century c308 (I know, I know). Still rather new in the wild but there are some good reviews out. Built with a mix of PTR parts (receiver ect) and CETME. Other-wise, the PTR is a bit more but a great value.

Psgs go for around 6 but they have terrible quality

My .308 AR (which is NOT an AR-10) cost around a grand before optics. 80% lower as part of the group buy (no s/n!). DPMS stripped upper, BCG, barrel, LPK, buffer & spring. Troy handguard. Basic Magpul buttstock. Griffin muzzle device. I did spend some extra $$ on a Geissele trigger and Nikon M-308 scope which put me over $1500 all-in.

Now why'd you have to go and post that? Must. Not. Buy.

My Remington 7400 is 30-06 but with a Knoxx stock and rail setup and modified BAR mags will hang with any EBR.
