Building a precision .308 semi auto rig around a suppressor

[Eurodriver]

I have a spare, brand new AAC 762SD that's just wasting space.

I'd like to buy a rifle for it but I'm confused as to which platform would perform best while suppressed.

Of course I like the AR series. The M1A has the usual scope-mounting issues.

I had a SCAR-H. Great weapon but the recoil on that was pretty stupid and it just didn't lend itself to being a precision rifle setup.

The MRP seems to be a fan among many here, but they are unavailable everywhere.

The Larue series seems to be 50/50 on people liking them or hating them.

Anything you guys can recommend? I was hoping to get a Colt but I can't find those anywhere either.

I will be doing 500+ yard shots in the prone. I'm not lugging it around at the alert but would still prefer it to be as light as possible.

there are 300 blk barrels all over the place. just build an upper and an SBR lower

I'm looking for a .308 long range rifle. Unless supersonic 300BLK has gotten ridiculously potent in the last few months, I don't think it's going to do pretty well at 700 yards.

I already have two SBR lowers and a 300BLK upper.

You can watch me shoot them here.

I'd love to recommend H&K MR762. I run a can on mine occasionally, and it is surprisingly accurate weapon. But, as much as I love the rifle it seems to be bit picky on the can/can type. There are some conflicting reviews on function with cans, and some people haven't got perfect function out of it.

Mine (MR308 with 20" barrel) has been 100% reliable for 1500 or so rounds of varying quality, naked, braked or canned. And it is cabable of half a MOA at 300 metres.

Ps. a switchable gas block would make functioning certain, but they run at $800 even in Europe.

Yes, the issue with the MR308/762 is the lack of the AGR of the HK417.

Our HK417's have shot very accurately ( consistant sub-MOA and 0,5 MOA at best ) and reliably.

Apart from the MR762, I would recommend either the LaRue OBR or the LMT MWS LM7 / LM8.

For the MR762 you really would need to find the AGR or have a gunsmith install a gas adjustment screw on the gas block.

I'm running a SDN-6 on my LWRC REPR. So far it has been reliable and accurate. I haven't seen much shift in POI using the suppressor.

^Yep, I was just gonna say that Rainier seems to be getting a pretty steady supply of these lately. That LM8 w/ the SS barrel is my dream .308AR.

I found a 16" MRP w/ CL (I'm assuming) barrel for $2899 locally.

Is this accurate enough for precision work or do I need the SS Barrel?

Will it function suppressed? Will it function well?

Why is this rifle $2899 and Rainier wants $3700?

They have two. One is 1/10 twist w/ the rail system and the other is 1/11.25 twist with the slick rail system.

Slick rail vs old rail, ss vs cl, .308 vs 5.56. That's why Rainer charges $3700.

MRP refers to the LMT monolithic upper 5.56 rifle, MWS is the .308 version.
