    Again, what are you trying to do?

    Why do you want this rifle?

    What do you want to do with it?

    Well, First I Thank Those Who Answered!!
    I Will Build A .308.
    I've Got A Ruger P-89 And A Colt King Cobra For Home Protection.
    I Think A .308 Would Suit My Needs For Hunting And Distance Shooting.
    What Are Some Of The Down Sides Of The FN-Fal vs the AR 10 ?

    If I was getting ready to retire, wanted the best .308 semi-auto rifle, and had the money to spend, I would buy a Knight's Armament SR-25. It will be everything you ever wanted in a .308.

    I waffled around for a few years and ended up buying other toys, but I too want "the best" AR-15 I can get.

    This means an A2 that is as close to mil-spec as possible for me.

    If I wanted a carbine or short-distance weapon I would get a PS90, not an AR. (jmho, but 50 rounds and UBER reliability and less muzzle blast is enough to tip the scale).

    If I wanted an 800 yard varmint/hunting/target shooter I would get a Weatherby SVM or Remington 700PSS in .308.

    I don't. I want an AR15 and to ME that means an AR15, not one of it's derivatives designed other than Stoner originally designed it as after it was tested/updated (read: thicker barrel, A2 flash, ect.). Are these derivatives "bad"? No, just not what I want.

    People on here LOVE! the Colt 6920. It just doesn't do it for me. Why? IT ISN'T THE STYLE OF WEAPON I WANT.

    You need to narrow down what you what. Try this:

    "I want to compete in Service type matches"
    "I want the most reliable carbine to protect my loved ones, self, and home"
    "I want the most accurate rifle I can get to kill crows, chucks, and other vermin"
    "I want a rifle that will reach out and anchor a deer"
    "I want a reliable open-sight/scoped plinker to shoot at cans"


    Pick which phrase best suits you, or tell us what DOES suit you. For me, my wants are based on: Needs, Aesthetic appeal to me, and a certain part of me that enjoys collecting. What drives your purpose?

    Best car: Is it a H1 Hummer or a Porche 997?

    answer: Are you in Iraq or on the autobahn?

    I saw just that rifle the other day, I think it was going for something like 2200 or 3200. I don't recall. The SR-25 got a black eye from the DPMS .308 from what I hear at the local gun-shop (Clark's Guns). Seems that the DPMS was outshooting other rifles way out of it's league $$-wise, the Stoner included. This IS gunshop hear-say but I consider the man I heard it from and the gun shop to be more reliable than most.

    So, you want THE BEST! in a .308 semi-auto platform and money is not an issue? The PSG-1 would put you in some really rare air, although I think that technically a well-made AR could best it.

    I would buy an AR-10T from Armalite and then properly stake everything, send the upper off to Krieger, buy a US optic scope, upgrade the buttstock with one that would allow a good cheek-weld, have the trigger replaced with a JP or something, and call it a day. IF I was after the most precise long-range AR in .308 I could get.

    I am sure you will get a million opinions on it though.
