It's 2024. I'm thinking about moving into the 308 world, and I'm curious on what the options are with the following criteria:
1- Reliability. Using precision standard loads that are magazine fed.
2- Handling. I'm not looking to build a DMR. Lighter is better, within context.
3- Accuracy. 2MOA with common match ammo, if possible.
4- Spare parts. Murphy and all.
5- Suppressor compatibility. This is negotiable, for now.
6-Price. I'd rather spend 2k than 4k, but I'll happily spend 4k on something that works.
The role is for increased performance on target out to 800 yards, and for use in the heavy class of 3gun comps. At this time, I leaning towards a 16" barrel. I don't want a gamer gun.
I've shot M1As, FALs, and SCAR-17s before, I liked them enough for what they were. The SCAR is a possibility, but I need to look at their issue with breaking optics. I've thought about building an Aero M5 with a Criterion barrel, but wonder if there are better ways to go.
What are the forums experiences and recommendations?
