Help me pick a Black. 308 option

[copeland]

Hey,

So I'm looking for a 7.62 x 51 or .308. I'm currently leaning towards Daniel Defense DD5v1 or 2.

Help me figure out what I want. Restricted or Non restricted. Famae, Robinson Arms, which ever.

I like the quality in Daniel Defense, but not necessarily the restricted status. Famae doesn't really appeal to me because of quality in a stamped receiver. I am open to discussion and arguments for and against.

Let's hear it!I'm

M17 s is approved NR. Quality is fantastic and it’s a bull pup with an outstanding trigger

And roll the dice, come on lucky rifle that works... darn, craps (NEA'd)


For a 308 class semi I would go with a Modern Hunter. It all depends on your budget and your intended use but for me there is no better option available right now for a non restricted.

Depends on what you want - what you've listed is certainly viable, but the DDM5 is a very expensive rifle (almost twice the price of the BCL102, but VERY MUCH twice the quality, in my opinion).

Have you considered building an AR10? Aero Precision builds the M5, and parts are available from a variety of sources (but look at Saskatoon Gun Works - they have a huge Aero order coming in shortly).

Snap up a Troy PAR, you won’t regret it. Love mine, got over the lack of semi auto pretty quick.

HK MR308. Whatever version.

I'm really sitting in the fence. May need to see some end user reports.

Thought about it. Pros of NR but the price seems daunting. I'll have to think more about it.

I haven't really. I'm not sold on Aero quality - on the 5.5.6 caliber. I'm concerned it may be a stag/bushmaster which I had a bad expierienced with

Yea good call, just gotta get over the price on it for a restricted rifle. They are piston driven? I need some substantial reasons to beat DD5 at the price gap.

Browning 1919?

 

[mildot]

Colt 901, it has modular upper so you can use both 5.56(.223) and 7.62(.308) uppers.

 

[airbatic]

Any thought of the m1a? Or not black rifle enough maybe

Just save the cash and go Robinson non restricted , have both L and M models both shoot Nader 1 in with good ammo.
Talk to Tyson at Wolverine!

Actually I Have. I've been looking at a national match and my only hang up is that it doesn't take an ar10 mag. Not that's it's a deal breaker. ideally if I could build one on an ebr chassis id be pretty happy with the non restricted platform.
