Once you start going with a 18-20" 308 with nice glass and bipod, weight adds up and it goes towards a precision rifle direction which is not my intention. Honestly the SCAR 17 is probably the best rifle for my needs. It is not the best at anything, but it is good at a lot of things. But I also want to see what evolves as it seems the 308 AR-10 is getting more refined as time goes on. Also was to keep my eye on the 6mm ARC...but that is a different topic.
Thank you for some more information regarding the AR-10 platform. In my old Army days we had M1a rifles we borrowed from 1st Group, and our M24 bolt gun. Our unit was in the process of ordering SR-25's, however I discharged before I was able to play with them. So my experience is 0 with the AR-10. I know what I am looking for in terms of portable firepower, and now I just got to find it...and afford it lol.
I would rethink the ACOG on a 308. There are so many better options, namely 1-6 (kahles k16i, vortex razor hd2e), 1-8 (NF ATACR, NF nx8, S&B SD), and 1-10 (vortex razor) that are very well suited for a 308 carbine.
A NF ATACR 4-16 with a red dot in Arisaka offset mount would also be an excellent option if you want more mag.
