I was tossing around the idea of building my own AR, but lamenting the fact that I don't yet own a bolt action .308 for longer ranged target shooting. Then I realized that I might potentially combine the best of both worlds.
What is involved with building an AR in .308 vs. the customary .223? Are there any companies that would be a better choice for a .308 upper? Does the lower have to be different at all? What kind of accuracy can I expect from an AR in .308 vs. something like a stock Remington 700?
