.308 Win Rifle, Your top three choices, make and model, and why?

MDP, there are alot of resources out there that will tell you if you want to shoot a pistol caliber, use a pistol. (Albeit I would LOVE to have that H&K USC .45)

My experience with carbines is limited to the M1 in .30 carbine and Ruger's little .40 offering, but it is enough to tell me that if I were shopping for a MBR, it would be in a suitable rifle caliber. In all actuality, I am not all that impressed with .223 for MBR purposes either.

You ask any of this over at www.thefiringline.com yet? Bet you'd get a hell of a response over there. Prolly wouldn't have to post anything either, just using the search function alone would produce volumes of reading.

Just another note on the rifle selection process. Two guys go shopping for spare magazines. One guy shoots an AR-10 and the other a FAL. Both take a $100 bill with them. At the end of the shopping day, the FAL guy has a DOZEN mags and the AR-10 shooter has ONE.
 
Anyone have DSArms' "FAL Rail Interface Handguard"? They say you can mount a Scope on it, but would it be an accurate and reliable scope mount? I'm thinking a FAL with a forward mounted Aimpoint of Scout-style scope on the FAL Rail Interface Handguard and the stripper-clip dust cover would be a great alternative to the M1A Squad-Scout. it would be really cool if you could add the para stock, but that might be too much to ask.
 
The 'para' stock ain't all she's cracked up to be...

And, it's not just a stock...it's a dust cover, a recoil spring, and some other widget part that I've forgotten the name of...

At $500+ for the set, (that buys you zero performance inhancement), I'd recommend that a person spend the same amount of money on 'shootin' ammo...and then shoot some... ;)

I dont think one can call it magazine fed but I picked up a M1 Garand from a vet,well used I might add, for less than $500.00 and it'll pick boogers out of your nose at 200 yards with the original iron sights. I'm considering sending it to Fulton Armory for a 1000 yard tuneup but I stake my life on its reliablty when searching out feral hogs in the swampy bottoms of Eastern Texas. For the record driving rain,black slimy mud,bits of twigs,leaves and other humas and not even once has it ever failed to set off the live round or to chuck out the empty.
