Swiss Arms .308 semi???

[Otokiak]

Any news on the subject of a Swiss Arms .308 semi-auto non restricted? I recall a thread and pics about a year ago or more ... just curious?

Nothing new since than, but Wolverine do have a entry on their SA price list, but without a price.

From your link this would be TSE? I'm curious if Swiss Arms will make a heavy barrel sniper version like they did with the .223?

The RCMP has a rifle in their possession and are examining it for FRT classification. Not sure when a final decision will be made.

The 308 rifle is fine, but what is the point if there is no ammunition readily avialableto feed it?

lol. yup screw it. I don't want one any more either. 308 is too hard to come by.

What are you guys talking about you just need to buy ammo when its available i got 3 huge cases of SA ammo when wolverine was selling it its out there it just gets put on sale ever couple years so you need to be on your toes.

 

[Otokiak]

I wanna see one and purchase as if it's anything as close to the quality on my 223 version it's going to be a keeper. I would definately use it for hunting ...

.308 is easy to find it's just expensive, especially if you want to shoot a lot.

It does suck taking out the m14 and only being able to put 200 rounds through it at a time unless I'm only shooting the m14 in which case I might push 300-400 rounds, but then I don't go back to the range for another couple months.

Reloading .308 is the key.

Any pics of the rifle, this is new to me?

.308 is easy to find it's just expensive, especially if you want to shoot a lot.

Easy fix:

Go buy a Dillon 650 progressive press with case feeder, all the bulk .308 Win Brass you can find, scrounge, beg, borrow or steal; buy your 150gr FMJ bulk bullets in case lots and hit up Higginson's for a big-arse bulk surplus powder order and don't forget the primers!

Buy in big enough volume and you can shoot .308 very, very affordably. Upfront costs may seem a little daunting at first, but if you do any amount of shooting, the equipment and components will pay for themselves in a season or two of shooting.

What you load yourself will be far more accurate than any surplus ammo you're likely to find these days - even with bulk FMJ.

Plus the SAPR is going to end up costing excess of $5.5k, so it's not for the thin of wallet...

it absolutely sucks that it'll be a $5000 rifle but at least we'll have 1 black .308 semi in the country
