I'm thinking of getting one and I'm looking for opinions.
I'm thinking about DSA's FAL, an AR10 variant, or Springfields upcoming SOCOM.
DSA Pros: price seems reasonable, decent quality, plentiful parts and hicap mags. Cons: ?
AR10 Pros: intimately familiar with AR family, same manual-of-arms as my other AR's(biggie). Cons: hicap mags (also a biggie, except for Bushmaster's offering of unknown quality, but apparently high price).
SOCOM Pros: Good company. Cons: new, unproven rifle (gas system).
I don't want to spend a fortune, but want more than the CETME/Century class.
Obviously I dont have that much experience with .308 battle-type rifles and would appreciate knowledgeble input. Please add a rifle if I've overlooked one.
