Any .308 Semi Autos Left In NR?

[SuperCub]

Look at conventional (ie unchallenging) deer rifles, like the Remington gas auto family. Winchester Model 100 is a semi. Benelli make several nice ones, as well as Browning.

What is an "unchallenging" deer rifle?

That is the Brugger and Thomet (B+T) Advanced Police Carbine in .308 cal (APC-308 ). The weight is 11.2 lbs (5.1 kg) Bare with ACR Stock, VFG and Magazine, or 15 lbs (6.8 kg) all-up including the Bushnell DMR IIi 3.5-21x 56mm Optic and Atlas Bipod.

My advice when it comes to the bullpup options is to try before you buy if at all possible. I owned a Keltec RFB and sold it because of reliability issues. I also had a Tavor 7, but quickly sold it because I could not group it accurately. It felt to me like it had a very "bouncy" recoil impulse that sent rounds all over the place. YMMV.

Sorry to hear that Bartok. Luckily the tavor 7s can group very well with good ammo.
I understand what you said but I'm posting this photo in case someone misreads it as "tavor 7 not accurate"
5 shots at 100m. It also does this with a few other loads.



Beautiful APC308 by the way!

not gona lie that looks pretty sweet

The tavor 7 weighs 9lbs unloaded. My setup you saw in previous post loaded with 5 rounds, vortex LHT scope and sling weighs 12.5lbs.
It is still not "light" but I believe the saving grace lies in the way these rifles are rearward balanced making them easier to shoulder/shoot but also easier to sling. They have a short overall length and I believe are perfect for bush hunting which is why this year I'll be trying out a 1-10x24 LPVO instead of the Vortex LHT 3-15x42. Getting close is more my style anyway. Some people laugh me off for even considering it as a hunting rifle, but to me, a short magazine and the right glass makes it a potent tool out of the many a hunter needs at his disposal for success.

Didn’t the Valmet Hunter come in .308?

Absolutely, and the Hunter and the M78 versions pop up throughout the year.

Didn’t the Valmet Hunter come in .308?

Yeah (had two of them) but
- Stupid expensive (and so are the magazine)
- I guess they are minute of deer accurate

HK sport rifles are still out there...

Not common, but they exist.

I was going to suggest the HK770
