308 AR?

[JockItch]

Looking at purchasing a 308 AR. I was thinking about getting a piston rifle (POF or LWRC). Not sure it is really necessary. There other makers that make great weapons (LMT and Noveske). So its really hard to pick. Any input would be helpful.

Piston is not necessary.
It adds recoil.

I have a 16" upper with a flash hider, compared to the POF 20" with muzzle break there's almost no difference in recoil. They're nifty, and seem to stay cleaner, but I wouldn't invest in one unless I just had a bunch of cash to burn.

Just add a silencer....You won't recoil a bit.

No need to go piston in .308 AR, if you are dead set on a piston you might as well get a FAL

Thanks guys!! Any manufactures you might recommend for 308s?

Lwrc is great but the repr is the most expensive. Bout 3700

I saw and it not got all the extras that the POFs have.I like the side charger though.

How much do you want to spend on the rifle and optics and what do you want to do with it?

Go LMT. Seems to be the ish right now. I think Ima go with it as well.

I'm still waiting for this answer too.
It's amazing that people can make recommendations without this crucial information.

Hopefully the OP is aware of the LWRC and LMT prices. If not, it may indeed be an extreme boner kill.

So ya, OP, will this be a fun blasting DGAF gun, a hunting gun, a heavy long range setup, or?

[JockItch]

I would like to say money is no object but it dose matter. I want to get the best rifle i can for now and get the optics latter. Im looking just for a shooter, nothing super long range. I have already a M1a for that.
