The .308 debate. What would you get?

I will never take the look over the precision... I agree the FNAR look is different, mines are tender blue and are not manly looking but IF A RIFLE DELIVER SUB MOA PRECISION, I DONT CARE WHAT THEY LOOK LIKE, i cant understand, why someone would choose lack of precision for looks... Just saying... JP.
PS: after you stripped your rifle for the first time, they are quite easy to maintenance... JP.

Not shallow at all, "a man's gotta know his limits.";)
Speaking of limits I've finally come to realize mine. It doesn't matter how functional a firearm is, if I don't enjoy it's form (and this lesson cost me a few hard earned dollars on resales before I finally conceded) it will most likely always be an issue of ownership and the end result will be a short lived stay in the old safe.

I think it's true for everyone (with differing degrees of course) as it's hard to like what doesn't look cool...


Now back to a NR .308 semi., I passed on the FNAR because of it's somewhat complicated strip-down procedure and no Canadian legal 10Rd. capacity mag.'s.

The more I think about a .308 semi. that's NR, the more I dream of an ATRS MH.

I tell myself what's another $1,000+ in the big scheme of things and then my thoughts turn to the part where I tell the wife I just spent $3,500+ (basic MH taxes in) on a rifle w/o optics and the only optics worthy of this rifle are another $1,000+ easy...

Lord what have these Gunnutz done to me...

I completely agree, it needs looks and function. I compare this to my vehicles, if I purchase a plain Jane car I find myself in a year or two wanting the next latest and greatest car with the new lines, new interior etc and usually ended up purchasing another vehicals. Now with my truck I went balls out and bought it with all the luxuries and features I wanted. After five years I still enjoy sitting in it and driving it.(and its paid for) Yes I paid more than the plain one but I feel I will still be in my truck in another five years because of the looks and function, it just makes me feel good. Something to think about. It's kind of the buy once cry once thing.

Does the FNAR deliver consistent sub-MOA precision?

I like that rifle.

It's never worst than MOA, 90% of the time, it's between .75 and MOA with Lapua Scenar 155 gr or Hornady 155 gr Match factory ammo... Being a 1 in 12 ROT, it favor 150-155 gr bullets... JP.

Easy for you to say with 5+ of every type of cool rifle available.:d

So if only keeping one rifle would your FNAR be it?

...and I seriously believe it would take many more strip downs and reassembles then one to be competent at managing a FNAR's complicated small parts dis/re-assembly (as compared to most other rifles), especially away from a well laid work area like when it may need to be done in the bush...

If restriction was not here, an AR-10 would be my first choice as a keeper, for the precision and the ease of operation, the FNAR since it's NR get a lot of attention, for it's precision, full reliability and reasonable price tag...
Now this MH stuff is gaining on me, my FNAR's may have to be pushed under the bed near the Nemesis if this new ATRS NR rifle is as good as they predict...
The shooting world is a wheel and i have nothing against turning the wheel... JP.

Why would you only be allowed to own one rifle and why would you need to fully strip a rifle in the bush?

Even on a budget if a person has some cash management skills he or she should be able to save up a couple thousand dollars a year for a new toy. Now if on the other hand it's a problem with permission from the significant other, well that's your problem and only you can deal with that issue.

As for having to strip it in the bush? Why would you do that, any quality semi auto should be able to run a few hundred rounds through it without cleaning, usually more like a couple thousand rounds.

I agree with Caramel, function over fashion. Accuracy and practicality are more important than silly quadrails and tacticool mall ninja junk.
 
I've been hunting for 23 years . I've never had to field strip a rifle. It seems most of you that want to buy the MH is primarily for hunting because of its NR status which is fine but if it was me , I too would buy a BAR or a FNAR less money and just as accurate. With the money you save you could put that towards better optics. Just saying
