ive decided that where i live, 5.56 just doesnt have the range or power, its all flat and open.. i want a rifle that has the added range and energy.. i used to own an M1A and a PTR91, but the M1A may be out of my budget which i'm setting to about $1,000 and the PTR was a bit of a PITA to clean, very heavy, and not all that much more accurate than gas operated rifles, plus it tends to be more rough on brass
so im looking for something .308/7.62x51, and under $1000, and can shoot 2MOA groups with average ammo. i believe this leaves me with the FAL and yugo M77 as my last two options.. a third option of mine is to build the one ive been working on designing myself but i would have to outsource local machine shops to make certain parts (like the trunnion, bolt carrier and bolt) so that's going to likely blow budget as well
any suggestions?
