Looking to buy a new .308 "battle rifle", because you know... BATTLE!
What I want:
Semi-Auto, mag fed
16-18" barrel
correct lop (short) stock or adjustable stock
20 round magazines
open sights and red dot capable
Will eat military ball ammo.
Hit where I aim it out to 300 yards or so (I'm a realist and my eyes suck).
Budget is pretty open.
Currently what I'm looking at:
DS Arms 18" FAL ($1500 range and mags are plentiful and cheap)
HK MR762A1 ($3000 and mags are $75-$100 each and somewhat hard to find)
KAC SR25 ($3500 and again KAC mags are $100+ and hard to find)
I'm leaning towards the H&K right now because it seems to be the best all around bang for the buck.
I really like FAL's but have no experience with DS Arms builds, it'd be the cheapest way to go but unsure of how well they take a red dot.
KAC is mucho nice, mucho expensive and can be a PITA when it comes to parts and accessories.
Anybody have anything to add?
