    308 caliber would be jack of all trades in a rifle for me. Short range, long range, knock down power.

    Would any of you discourage me from building a .308 AR? Curious on if I should do that or just buy a .308 bolt action. Any input is appreciated.

    I opted for a com-bloc variant since I had a surplus of 7.62x54R and prefer the AK manual of arms for a fighting rifle.
    This is a Romanian PSL with a pistol grip conversion (done by me) and a shortened barrel (done by Red Jacket before they were famous - this rifle was in their shop when the pilot for their show was being recorded).

    It goes well with it's bolt action brother (modified Mosin M44)

    From what I have read it's much easier to buy a 308AR vrs build. Usually no issues or compatibility stuff to work out.

    The Springfield M1A's are amazing rifles!

    I wouldn't say building an lr-308 is any harder than an ar-15. especially since they have become more popular. the dpms pattern took off so most everything is for that so plenty of options for it.

    I've been kicking around the same thing. Could always do a AR styled bolt action like the Ruger Precision http://www.ruger.com/products/precisionRifle/models.html
