Bored with AR15..........Thinking AR10? Should I?

[Bullets&Whitewalls]

I say build them all. Every one you can! The 308 is a little more challenging in that the hodge podge parts slam generally leaves you troubleshooting your first few trips out.

Are you snipering, or looking for a change of pace?

Stop building, start shooting. Or build an AK, refurb a C&R, or start reloading.

Seriously though, the AR-15 platform is played out. The AR-10 platform is where it's at. When you're done with that you can move to the Remington 870 platform, or the Savage 110 platform. Maybe get into handgun platforms via the Glock platform or the M&P platform. You could always try the AK platform or buy a black powder kit platform so you can build your own platform. Perhaps a cannon platform? You could get a full auto airsoft platform that allows you and your friends to practice drill platforms.

I dont think you said platform enough

Getting kind of burnt out on building and shooting in the .223/5.56 platform. Thinking of making my next build in a different caliber. I'm thinking 308 would be a good change of pace and fun to shoot with some good glass. I want it to be quality build so I'm already doing some on-line window shopping at Rainier Arms. Looking at the Mega Maten specifically. It would appear it's going to be spendy so I may have to stretch this build out as my budget allows.

Is this a good idea as a break away from my usual builds? Any advice for either building or shopping?

Thanks!

Competition? It does get boring shooting at paper from a stationary position.

IMHO AR10 is just another ar15 with bigger round. Plain and simple. I'd rather venture into bolt action.

May you suggest you move on to a non-AR platform?

I'd love to have a 338 Lapua as well, but damn that ammo is expensive! Almost as expensive as 50 cal rounds. I've been seriously tempted to splurge on a Savage 110BA more than once, but the price of ammo is the only thing which has held me back. You'd most definitely have to reload to get into that.

Buy some AR500 swinging targets, head out toe BLM land, and start having some real fun.

Shooting either a .22 cal or .30 cal at paper pretty much sucks, period.
