    Default got the .308 bug

    ok i have narrowed it down to three choices

    Dsa Paratrooper FAL




    LaRue OBR



    or springfield M1a



    what do you guys think....im leaning towards the LaRue but my friend keeps trying to talk me into his fal, the m1a makes me nervous because i have heard that they do not hold zero after cleaning and the shorter gas systems can be unreliable

    I think Mark Larue is a complete tool. But they put out good stuff.

    Of the three, I'd go with the OBR hands down.

    I've shot two OBR's, both were fantastic. The M1A I shot was fine, but awkward (for me). I've never been much of a FAL fan but wouldn't mind trying one some day.

    OBR all the way.... and I am a total FAL fanatic. The OBRs shoot like a fricking dream.

    I had a SOCOM16... weird having a semi-auto 16" barrel without a pistol grip.
    I've shot it past 400 yards with no problems. It is on the heavy side too... and is pretty darn reliable. I didn't experience any issues with the thing.
    I traded it for a M1A SuperMatch...

    That OBR though... Mmmmm... you could swap out from a short barreled upper to a longer barreled upper for different applications... ohh yeeeaaa... that would be pretty cool...

    the FAL... I have no comment... Never had a chance to handle one yet.... they do look sweet for 300 to 600 yard shooting...

    .. and I do dig the idea of the side folding stock on the FAL

    I have a switch barrel OBR in 260/308. Crazy accurate and as reliable as you can get.
