I've been shooting ARs for years, especially when I was in the Marine Corps Infantry but not many that are 7.62 x51mm. I'm a machine gunner by trade so I've always loved larger caliber rounds because of the stoping power and increase in distance. I'm looking to purchase a new AR that fires 7.62 x 51mm / .308 Winchester but won't break the bank. Any suggestions?

My retirement gift will be a LaRue PredatOBR in 7.62. It's the only 7.62 AR platform I would own.

I"m an AR15 person myself.. The AK which is my answer to your dilemma is something I see as a symbol so I have no real want for one, but I would say that could be a good purchase for the 7.62 although I'd prefer my basic training necklace the 240b haha.. I always joked that perhaps some Police would need them and just throw them on the roof of their cars haha

The AK74 is Russia's following our route of going to smaller and lighter rounds. What's people's opinion on 74?

Carey Boles - The AK-74 (I have put about 250 rounds through one, but don't own it) Is decent. Typical Soviet hardware that could be submerged in concrete and still fire. I'm just not an AK fan though.

If you build one yourself, just buy the individual parts and assemblies and customize your own, you can build your own ar10 to match exactly what you want without going over your budget. Just do some good research. 7.62 is pretty easy to get done at a reasonable price and still get a badass setup

If you heart dead set on an AR platform then so be it. But consider some of the bolt actions out there that are really hell a cheap in comparison. Check out Brownells for a Howa 1500, what's that never heard of them well if you have heard of Weatherby Vanguard rifles you have heard of Howa. You can by a barreld action with a bolt for less than $300, now go find a chassis or stock and go crazy.
