So, I don't actually have anything in .308/7.62mm and thought I'm sitting on a fair bit of 7.62mm, I haven't had the urge to get something to sling that lead with until now. It all started with me fantasizing about the POF Rogue "pistol" with the 12.5" barrel.
Then I realized that POF isn't exactly worth spending $1850 or so on, and a 6 pound 12.5" barreled .308 gas gun probably kicks like a mule and is probably pretty disgustingly loud. But tell me if you think I am totally wrong about that.
So I thought, why not follow Jeff Cooper's Scout rifle example, and so I happened on the Ruger GSR. I like that it comes with 10 round magazines, and is even available with a left hand bolt (I'm left-eye dominant). But is that worth the $800 or so that I could pick one up for? And how much will I hate that I can't put a Modlite OKW-18650 on it with any ease?
Ultimately I would like a relatively affordable but more importantly handy and decently accurate .308 that I can shoot relatively quickly and move with, so there's an emphasis on weight and overall length, as well as the ability to take 10 round magazines or more.
