I've been wanting an AR chambered in 308 for a while now, but have stayed away from most secondary to you guys saying they will get to heavy to hunt when scoped . Well I've recently handled both of these rifles and they seem much lighter than the DPMS's, Sigs, and Armalites. I'm leaning towards the M&P 10 just because it's super simple and seems to have a great reputation for accuracy with the 5R rifled barrels. Then there is the Ruger which is a piston gun for just alittle more and seems super nice as well. Does anybody own one or both? I have a budget of about $1500 minus optics and both fall right in that range. I know the benefits of a 6.8 and I will save for that one after I get a 308. Any opinions will be greatly appreciated. Thanks guys and let me know what you think.

I had a Ruger SR-556 chambered in 6.8 and it was a great gun but a bit heavy. I can only imagine how much the .308 version weighs. Havin said that, I bet the Ruger is awesome and will never fail with the piston system. Make sure you are comfortable with the one you choose.Comment

I would go with an Armalite AR10 Budsgunshop has several in stock between $1100-1500
But either way I wouldn't hesitate to shoot any of them.Comment

Few weeks ago I got the Ruger 762, mounted Nikon scope, bipod, purchased 300 rounds 308 Hornady hunting rounds, 500 rounds federal 762 fmj, work and weather haven't let me squeeze a round off yet! Although I have been hugging it every night!

Torture! Please give us a range review when you get a chance. Not that you have it scoped does it seem light enough to tote around the woods without much hassle?Originally posted by hammackc View PostFew weeks ago I got the Ruger 762, mounted Nikon scope, bipod, purchased 300 rounds 308 Hornady hunting rounds, 500 rounds federal 762 fmj, work and weather haven't let me squeeze a round off yet!

It's heavy, haven't weighed it, but with loaded 20 round mag, I'll guess 11 or so pounds, a caddy would be nice!Comment

Heck I'd be happy with just touching one! I've never seen an OBR in person and have only seen 1 maybe 2 SCARs. Baby steps Artos baby steps!Originally posted by Artos View Postsave your money and get a Larue OBR or SCAR 17...

The Ruger is super heavy! It is nice. There are a few different M&P 10's... Decent guns. I'm really liking the new CMMG CBR MK3. It's got all the goodies and it's still pretty light. I would check it out before you buy something else.Comment
