Which .308 semi-auto rifle?

The DSA FAL that's currently in the classifieds here would serve you well.  You wouldn't be disappointed at all.

I was eyeballing that myself. I already have two DSA FAL rifles so I should branch out instead ... with a DSA FAL pistol.

A little more than your budget but man that Scar 17 in the classifieds is calling my name. They have trades listed that could offset the $ difference.

 

Maybe we could go in half&half. I shot it Sunday,Tuesday, and Thursdays and you keep it warm on Saturday, Monday, and Wednesdays. Well let or transporter have Fridays to cover his services.

The ONLY AR10 style rifle I would own would be the DPMS G2. All other AR10s, in that price range, will have issues.

 

The DPMS G2 is a total redesign making it a much nicer, and more reliable, weapon. It is lighter than any other AR10 on the market and from all accounts pretty accurate as well. It is the only "budget" AR10 that can actually stand up to heavy use.

Take a look at the DPMS Oracle, LR .308.  For the price you can't beat it and with my hand loads, it produces sub MOA groups at 100 yards.  It comes with one DPMS mag and additional mags are very affordable plus, it works with PMAGS!!!

 

Mine likes heavier bullets, 165, 168, 175 grain perform very well.

 

Our local Dunham's store is running a special on them at $799.  I waited until they ran another special at $759 but, on Black Friday, they dropped the price to $699.

 

For the amount you are willing to spend, you can acquire this rifle and have funds available for a quality scope.  I have an M1A that i shot in service rifle competition for years and it is a sub MOA rifle and I have an FN FAL.  Both are reliable and the FAL is a wonderful battle rifle but, 2 MOA is about as good as it gets with that platform and I am very pleased with it for its intended use.  If I had to select only one at this point and time, it would be the DPMS.
