I'd never seen the FR-8 before. Very neat little carbine. I may have to track on of them down. Can anyone post pics of their FR-8? I'd love to see more.

Looking for something unique in .308
My wife bought me some .308 by accident.
* * * Anyway, I'm looking for something on the lower end of the scale, like under $600. I know that pretty much eliminates a lot of new rifles right off the bat, especially semi autos (other than maybe a Remington 740/742).
I'm actually okay with that. Just looking for something fun to shoot that doesn't have clones up and down the range.Well, you can have "unique and cheap," which usually doesn't end well.
Typically, the result looks like a Bubba's-basement rendition of what was once a fine rifle.
Just watched a few Forgotten Weapons YouTube videos with the FG-42. If they were within my budget, then yes, I'd have a semi-auto .308 version.
A Remington 600 is a fun, somewhat unique bolt gun that can be found in your price range. They are extremely light and handy... even more so than the FR-8.
I have a 99 Savage in .308 myself -- it's the ultimate "deer rifle," powerful, accurate, fast-shooting and easy to carry.SAVAGE 99-E LEVER 308

4sixteen, Zastava makes a nice Mauser copy! How do you like your .308?
