Cetme or PTR

[MarkS]

I am looking at the new release Century Cetme 308 with Wood furniture, which is supposedly assembled with higher quality parts, or spending the extra for the PTR.

Is it worth the extra money, based on this will just be a range gun for having fun.  I will put a sling on it, and shoot steel at 50-75 yards.

I understand I can always spend more, but for having fun, is it worth $400 more?

If you buy the PTR you can guarantee you wont get burned....or as cheap as they have gotten just assemble a 308 AR and have a better gun lol.

Gotta agree with @Magiccarpetrides here. Skip the cetme, and anything else from Century. It’s worth the extra money to know you’ll have a working rifle.

More accurate, more reliable guns are always more fun. Save a few extra bucks and get an AR10 or FAL. 

Or find a 308 AK. Those are FUN.

Between the two you mention, I would definitely go with the PTR.

I have handled both at Bud's, the PTR seems better made.

I think I saw a video showing a head to head, PTR was more robust.

Saw a stack of PTRs at Bud's in Sevierville before Christmas for $579

I had both. Unfortunately I sold the my PTR and kept the cetmet. I miss my PTR every day. But not as much as my FAL. But yeah, PTR hands down.
