david,
if this is your first .308 then i HIGHLY RECOMEND the M1A standard. you can get one for just over $1,000 then put an aimpoint on it. let me tell ya.....that setup is one fun gun to shoot. i got addicted and here are my standards. you just can not go wrong with a M1A standard. awesome gun!

Even though I'm sooooo excited for the FAL I ordered to get here I have to concur that an M1A is not only potentially very accurate, but has such a rich and distinguished history that every enthusiast needs one in the family. It occurred to me that the reason I didn't even consider one if because my father has one from the civilian marksmanship program... otherwise I think I might have gone with an M1 before the FAL.

OK, the more I have the RFB out, the more I like it. About 500 rounds through it so far, without one malfunction... the forward ejection seemed wierd at first, but I'm getting used to it 
Finally have it set up the way I want it, with optics/buis/vfg Pricey, and if I could own a FAL here, I would... but if you want a .308 and like bullpups, I heartily recommend picking one up!

I'd recommend the Armalite ar-10, but that's because that's what I bought and I have just absolutely loved how it'll shoot whatever I put in it, it'll do it MOA, and it has already helped me harvest a deer while hunting. It is my favorite rifle that I own right now.

Took the plunge
I took the plunge and picked up a DPMS LR 308 C, was called the TAC 20 at one time. I have a little over 2000 rounds down the tube. Lots of accessories available to mod to your taste too. I already have an M1A1 and L1A1 and didn't want to pay 2G plus for an AR platform in 7.62 I'm happy so far.

Once upon a time I had an LR-308C, but I sold it because it was too heavy for my purposes. When I ordered it I didn't realize that it had such a huge heavy barrel under the handguards. I was expecting something about the weight of an M1A, but it was significantly more.
I did like how accurate it was. It would do 1 MOA with british surplus ammo.

Yes it is heavy
Yes the DPMS is a heavy rifle and after you add a free float rail and any other gear it's a muscle builder. But it is damn accurate for a semi. But mine is a range queen so I don't have to worry about humping it over ridge lines. I'm retired so I'm not out in the toulies wiggling weeds any more.
