.308 rifle

[dkryan]

I told Momma I wanted a 40-42" flatscreen TV and a .308 rifle for Christmas. She shrugged her shoulders and said, "buy 'em yourself." She seemed more excited about finally getting a flatscreen TV than she was about me getting a new rifle.

That said, does anyone own a Springfield Armory .308 Scout Squad rifle or a Rock River Arms .308?

I've seen the SCOM version used in a few USPSA rifle matches.

I've got a M1A Fulton build.

My father has an M1A National Match by Springfield. Great Gun.

Australian International Arms ?

Chrome barrel will last you a long long time.

A short barrel .308 is loud.

+1 16" 5.56 is bad enough. No real need for a short barrel .308 unless you are getting in and out of vehicles or fighting in close quarters anyway.

Take a look at the FAL platform before you buy.

FAL?

 

[Shannow]

FN FAL

They used to make a variant here in my town.

Yep, nice rifle!

No bolt action this time around. Otherwise, I could easily pick up a Remington 700 (with a left-handed bolt!)

The Springfield Armory would either be an 18- or 22-inch barrel, depending upon the model.

The Rock River Arms .308 would be a 20-inch Wilson chrome-lined barrel.

Anyone have a DSA .308 rifle:

I have a Springfield Armory M1A-A1 (pistol grip stock) but it was finicky with ammo. I sent it to Springfield Armory years ago. They replaced a lot of parts, sent it back to me but I don't think I've fired it in a decade.

Bror:

Your M1A was a .308? With a pistol grip stock?

 

[Bror Jace]

Yes ... found a pic on-line:

TV is a waste of money.

 

[daves66nova]

what's the diff on the Remington 700 .308 letters? I see PSS and other letters like that.

 

[chevrofreak]

PSS means Police Sharp Shooter

Here's something that might help. http://www.chuckhawks.com/rem_700.htm

That's only true if you believe your signature, Steve S.

Like everything else in life, it's the quality (what you watch) that counts, not the quantity (every 30-minute sitcom and endless re-runs of CSI).
