Been thinking a little more about a fairly lightweight .308 rifle. Why not an AR-10? They seem to have a reputation for being fairly accurate, lightweight, reliable, and you can get one without selling a kidney.
I know some of y'all own AR-10s. What do you have? What do you really like about it? Anything about it that you've discovered that you don't like?
I usually tend not to buy top-of-the-line, but more like 7/10, to avoid diminishing returns for my $. So, I like quality, but I like to get a lot for my money.
I'm thinking 16" barrel and left-side charging handle. I'm not interested in suppressing. And, as I said earlier, weight is a priority. Like to have something that's 7-8 lbs. in stock configuration.
What's better - direct gas impingement or piston? Pros/cons of each?
Also, what optics do you guys like? I have no experience with optics.
