Hi folks! Well I have been thinking this over.... after I bought a crate of 308 ammo, and was going to use it for cheap practice (cheap is a relative term here lol) for my bolt.... I figured, I would maybe be better off with a Semi-auto, NON-res black rifle in 308.
This would be a rifle I use at the range, and hunt with occasionally as well.
However.... Seeing as I never kept up with what is available in Canada as a non-res 308 black rifle, I need your help!
Question is: WHAT NON-RES .308/7.62X51 SEMI-AUTO BLACK RIFLES ARE AVAILABLE IN CANADA? (That DON'T cost an arm and a leg!)
Of the ones I know of:
- RobArms XCR-M
- M14 (poly/norc)
- FN FNAR 308
- Valmet ($$$$$$)
- ???
The one thing I DO NOT WANT is another m14. I had one, sold it, its too heavy and crude for my liking. Its a good rifle, reliable, etc. I just dislike its bulk and size.
Have a cz858, and I wish they made a slightly larger 308!
I am thinking the XCR 308 might be an option but it seems too.... well too expensive and tactical to take into the woods to hunt with as well.
**MIND YOU: I am not eager to buy RIGHT NOW, I am just trying to weigh my options, so if there is something coming out later this year, let me know!***
So any tips/advice/suggestions?
