[QUOTE="backwoods83, post: 799255, member: 29890"] If I were buying a semi and never wanted to tinker with it, just shoot it and clean it, I would probably give Les Baer a call and get one of his match AR10s 1/2moa certified. If I wanted to do my own setup I would get an upper from AR-X, and stick it on a Rock River Arms or DPMS lower with a Magpul PRS stock, and a Jewell or JP 3# or less single stage trigger. So many options anymore its just a matter of what appeals the most to you, most of the newer ARs are or can be made accurate and the M1s are as well. If you really want the most range out of a semi with a 308 size case you may want to look at the 260rem, 6.5 SLR (260 with 30* shoulder and slightly longer neck) 6SLR also the same as the 6.5SLR just in 6mm, then the 7mm-08 with 162 amax or 168 berger would also do well. The 308 to me is about out of steam at 800yrds, not that its not capable of farther distances, just don't want people to start hollering about ethics. [/QUOTE]
