Hello folks... here once again to get the collective opinion of the high road, who so far have never steered me wrong.
I'm a multi-handgun owner, and have been looking lately into getting an AR-style rifle. Primarily for self-defense and plinking, but it would also serve as a backup in case I ever decided to go hunting (never been yet, but I moved up to Wisconsin last year and here's to hoping...)
Long story short, I had originally decided on the S&W M&P15 tactical model, because I like S&W's quality and because I want to put a vertical foregrip on it. However after some research and conversation with an ex-military friend, I have decided I'd much rather have something chambered in .308 instead of 5.56/.223. So even though technically if it's .308 it's not an AR-15 anymore, can you guys recommend a decent AR style rifle in .308? I'm a big fan of FNH bit the FNAR just doesn't seem practical/tactical... as I said before I want something I can put a vertical foregrip on, maybe a reflex/red dot sight. So, any suggestions? I'd prefer to stay $1,500 or under.
Thanks in advance!
