Help! Talk me out of getting into .308!

Heck yeah!

You did, but dang those things are expensive and there is no such thing as a bargain on a used one. Guess I'll just have to shoot yours now and then.

My 2nd one was a bargain

Bargain is relative lol

Without a bipod/tripod my AR10 just feels large, heavy, and clunky to hold while shooting. For hunting and mobility I would go with one of the AR15 rounds. Don't get me wrong...we all need one!

Nope, look for cmmg mkg guard that take Glock mags. Cmmg simplified their naming, Those are the same thing as a banshee mkg. So it was about 40% less than my banshee.

(Fixed it, it’s a guard not guardian)

The weight of an AR10 over an AR15 is one reason that I have been hesitant to get one. Some AR15 rifles are even heavier than I care for.

Maybe I should look into one of these. They are only three grand.

The Revolution is designed to handle like an AR-15, because it's the same size and weight as one! No corners cut, just pure Innovation!

Ruger makes something similar now. That said, my 16" M5 isn't at all heavy. It's not a bare bones AR15 by any means, but it's light and I can ring 10" steel at 300 yards all day.

The Ruger SFAR? I was just looking at that. The 20" version shows 7.3 lbs. and the 16" is 6.8. Only $1100 for the 16" version. Getting better.

Yep.


I should have went this route when I wanted to build my 16". I got into mine kinda heavy, but I do go high end on a lot of stuff.

I've been looking. Where do you find one for sale and what do you consider a bargain for one?

SFAR here. Runs great!

Edit: yeah I know it’s on the ground, but she’ll be fine. Was as soon as I got into blind. And was using a 1997 camera tripod to get somewhat steady on. Need that BOG death grip.
