Re: $ 4,000.00 Want a semi auto .308 which platform
Same with me.....I'm a rookie but picking up quickly. Bought a nice rifle like I wanted and tooled up for reloading. The only thing I went "budget" on was my initial reloading equipment. I wanted to make sure reloading was for me before I thought about buying electronic powder dispensers and giraud case trimmers. Now that I love reloading and load development, I have upgraded.
But the rifle......Not going to list my budget but it was more than 4k (w/optic) and it was my first .308 AR. Buy once cry once. I wasn't about to start small and work my way in to this. Gun shoots as well too! I learned on this gun and as I get more experienced, the gun shoots better as my shooting skills refine. I absolutely did not want to work on my technique over and over to later find out the rifle was junk and that's why I was kicking rocks. If you want to really do it right, go big once and never look back. 4K will buy a very nice custom rifle. You might even be able to get a nice optic on it for just a tad more. If you start small and work your way up, you will have invested twice the money or more!
