I think for MY personal desires on what I want from a 7.62x51 semi-auto rifle- Reliable, fairly lightweight and maneuverable, simple design, battlefield accurate etc I think the Scar 17 fits the bill best. Is it worth 3000+ ? No, not in my opinion. But it is what it is. The AR-10 world seems to be evolving over time, with constantly updated features. Rifles are becoming lighter, and reliability appears to be on the incline as well. Honestly in my humble opinion the 762 is outdated for a caliber that would be deployed as a intermediate cartridge that would deliver more punch and power vs a 5.56 mm, yet still be nimble and handier and put people in the dirt from 0-800 meters. Something along the lines of a 6.5 Grendel give or take. A happy medium where you have a round that wont beat up a lighter rifle, yet still deliver strong performance. Anywhoo...little off topic, roger that. Ill move on. But some great advice in here, enjoy hearing the input. Think we can all agree on LMT making a darn good product, and there also seems to be few other companies building some good shit as well.
Get a 6.5CM, the sweet spot for bumping up potential from 556. Shot 130-grain pills and it's a soft shooter.
