best 308 survival rifle

:D:http://centerfiresystems.com/AKAGUN-VEPR-54R.aspx This is a brand spanking new product improved Russian Dragunov. These are quite probably superior in accuracy to the original military issue dragunov. These are 7.62x54 guys!:D:

If your ONLY two choices for a personal AR/MBR (gotta cover your bases for the nit-pickers) were the Armalite AR-10 16" Carbine or the PTR91 Squad Carbine 16" which would you choose and what would be your decision factors?

I'm currently trying to decide on a MBR. Initially .308 was the only caliber I considered, and from there it was the typical M1A, FAL, PTR, Saiga debate. Now I'm backtracking a bit and wondering if 7.62x54R might offer some more options. My initial budget is limited to $1000, and I had been...

Thinking real hard about adding one of these to our battery, to those of you that own one how are they? How about mags, aluminum or steel? I'm an AK guy but we need to add a longer reaching auto to our loadout and this one fits the bill.

Im looking at a friends HK 91 he has for sale. I dont know a lot about them and have done some research but want some first hand experience. Reliable? Accurate? Robust? I need to know some things before I plunk down an amount of cash. It is built on a Hesse receiver with green furniture. Im...

What is the cheapest semi-automatic 7.62x51 rifle with a QD magazine that is suitable for combat? I've looked into the Springfield M1A(M14) but the price ($1500) is just too much. I've also looked at the AR-10 (and Panther Arms version) since I'm very familiar with the M-16, but it's similarly...

I had to have this on in 308.. Should be a fun shooter too..

Hi guys, My wife and I are in the market to buy some guns in order to defend our future Permaculture homestead out in the country. (However, we currently live in the city.) While we've already made our various handgun and shot gun selections, we now have to decide on a Battle Rifle for SHTF...

I know I'm gonna get a flood of opinion but that is exactly what I want. Let me know your opinion on WHAT YOU HAVE SHOT. Thanks in advance. nkl

My current "do everything" 308 rifle is a Winchester SXAR (civvy looking version of the FNAR). It's a sweet shooting rifle with a wonderful trigger and so far eats everything i shoot. I'm considering selling it and getting a new GI PTR91. Reason 1. The SXAR has no decent mounting option...

opinions? Thoughts? Good? Bad?

I've been following the PTR-91 thread and it sure seems like a great rifle. The price seems to be about the same for a LAR-8 from Rock River. I'd like a .308 and I've narrowed it down to these 2. I have a AR-15 and like it, so the LAR-8 would be an easy transition. However, I like the PTR...

I have a ptr91 that shoots .308 ammo.Is there anyone out there shooting one to and what ammo are you shooting out of yours.Iam looking for some cheep stuff to shoot out of it.

I finally got everything squared away and after receiving my replacement rifle from PTR and getting my scope set up properly and all that other business knocked out I took advantage of the 'warm' (35 degrees ;)) weather we had today and went out to shoot some groups. I had zeroed the rifle at...

This will serve as my first post, long time lurker, first time poster. My hobbies include shooting rifles, shotguns, handguns, hunting, fishing, backpacking, and growing organic food in my backyard. That said I have recently been bitten by the "survivalist bug" not because I think the world is...

I know a lot of people don't like them, but I have a Cetme and love it. I just wondered if there were any other Cetme fans here.
