    Lets say you got some change to play with

    You got $2000 bucks and you want an AR in .308.

    What would you get?

    Why?

    The above cost does not include optics or any other accessories.

    I will be paying cost for actual gun, not retail.

    M&P 10.
    The next cheapest 7.62 semi auto gun I would consider is the SCAR17.

    You don't like the LMT MWS?

    If you can find one for 2000. Very easy choice. The LMT MWS

    M&P-10 is the best value for an AR 308. Receivers are forged from 7075, barrel made from 4140 steel, full ambidextrous controls, takes PMags and one of the lightest rifles in it's class


    Needs a bit of tuning to soften the recoil and the flash suppressor is a bit long but it's a good rifle otherwise. After buying the rifle, you'll have at least $500 left over from your $2k for sights & ammo

    Sounds like he can get it for cost so he'd probably even have more to play with. For under $2k, he'd have a pretty decent M&P 10, depending what optics he chose.

    I read your review and must say it was an excellent read. The more I research the more s&w keeps going to the top.

    There's a lot of good info here also: https://www.m4carbine.net/showthread.php?t=121627
    It's a long read so you may want to skip to the pages where there's dialog from the guys that actually own them.

    Armalite AR10. Particularly if 16" barrels and chrome lined bores interest you. Little bit of cash left to spend on accoutrements.
