My dads looking to buy a tactical semi .308 and asked me to look into it for him. he wants a Non restricted .308 kind of Similar to an AR looks wise. all i can come up with is the Bushmaster ACR (my personal choice) and the Robinson arms XCR. also the Famae 542 but Ive heard they're kind of junk and over priced.

haha i didn't mention the Valmet lines because of the ludicrous prices.hes looking for accuracy and function not the one legal Ak.
 
M1a/m14 doesn't fit the the bill at all. and the ACR is offered in .308 i thought so anyways. almost sure i saw one for sale. but i cant seem to bring one up so maybe not.

Buy once - cry once. Pre-order a Modern Hunter (even the base model would be pretty good).

I have an M305 that I'll probably never shoot. Front site is crooked - I have a replacement flash hider, but my local gunsmith won't touch it (welded FH, need to remove castle nut, etc). Even after that - I don't have any faith in the rear site (plus the front site is too wide so that should be replaced too).

In summary - buy something that you can actually use with proper vendor support (not a fixer-upper or something with poor to no parts availability - like RA XCR's).

My XCR-L works OK - but is gone as soon as the Modern Varminter is available.

MODERN HUNTER hands down!

Bushmaster ACR is not a 308, well at least my ACR is not a 308.

I'll be honest here as I'm a fan of ATRS and the MH, I preordered on the first run in the low 30's. I think it's a great design and looks fantastic. But there's not enough info from real life users yet to call it the best non res semi 308. I'll have a better idea when I get mine and do a comparison, but with the groups shown from MH users, my LRB's will shoot the lights of the MH (with factory ammo). They are also at the similar price points if you stay with a SS barrel instead of CFW. Now I can't wait to get my MH and I know I'll love it but until I get it and shoot sub MOA groups with it, I have to say the best non res semi auto 308 is an LRB M25/M14SA
 
Again. the M1A/M14 completely misses what im looking for. wrong set up altogether and too much tweaking to gain fair accuracy.
 
Tweaking? Do tell as I've never "tweaked" a thing, capable of sub MOA from factory. You asked for the best non res semi auto 308 available and I gave you the answer.

Cheers


Edit: is a FNAR on your list? If the m14 platform isn't your thing I would suggest the modern hunter or FNAR

I'd say the FAMAE is you best bet for what you're looking for, now.

I wonder if the ACR will be available in .308?
