Ok, I'm confused now...

Your ultra cool, uber desired, preproduction, billion dollar collectible God rifle has a Krieger barrel?

Interesting considering the production ones are running Lilja's...

If I post range reports you will come up with some excuse as to why they are fake, not mine, no telling what rifle they came from, what the conditions were, how far away from the target I was, how many times it took to get that report...etc, etc, etc.

You are the one who is full of shit, and no matter what I post you will come up with something unfounded to rebuke with.

Just accept the facts and move on.</div></div>


I have nothing to prove and the only thing I've bashed is how ugly I think that rifle is but that is simply due to the fact that I'm colorblind and don't care for the look of green on my rifles. Oh, and the fact that rifle of yours is in no way, shape, or form worth anywhere near $10,000 and especially not when you consider it's a prototype.

If you post range reports, I and others can only take you at your word. However, if you make some bogus claim as to shooting 3/8 moa at 500yds, we're all gonna know you're as full of shit as they come.

Thus far, you haven't provided any "facts" but merely bullshit and opinions. When you produce some "facts", then you'll get a better response from the crowd.

Shooting for rifles is a little crazy. I always thought the people who raced for pink slips were nuts.

It's like casino gambling. Might as well play roulette.

Re: Best 7.62mm Semi Automatic Sniper Rifle

My facts aren't good enough for you.
How about you prove in what manner any other 308 semi-auto is better than the FD308?

If you do a straight-line product-feature based comparison, there is no other 308 semi-auto that matches. Show me one that does.

If you want to get into a functionality-based comparison then that's the stuff of an in-person evaluation, and not an internet worthy argument.

You obviously cant win the argument so you resort to some kind of justification that is also baseless.

I don't, but even if I did work for this outfit, the fact remains that F&D makes the best 308 semi-auto out there, which is the primary question of the original poster.

On the last note, I manage a separate gun-related forum. Do you not think that I know of well-funded companies paying forum-hacks to disparage competing products? Hundreds of posts per month.

The prototype guns had Kriegers.

What confuses me is the claim is the rifle is far better than anything out there. It's a decent gun but certainly no better than the OBR, EMC, GAP, MWS-SS, etc...

Re: Best 7.62mm Semi Automatic Sniper Rifle

idk what this F&D rifle is.. never heard of it...

However, before i add my .09 cents i would like to see some video of groups, and reliability tests.

I will say this. I have seen the OBR and DPMS SASS run in full out dusty and dirty conditions with over 500 rounds a piece no malfunctions. To me to get that for 3 grand... I am not sure why I would pay any more for anything gas.

My requirements in a rifle are this
1. It shoots and will continue to shoot in poor less than desireable conditions
2. It will shoot under 1MOA in said conditions (no 3/8ths .5 bs just under 1MOA)
3. It does this day in and day out
4. Price

Now I and many other hide members already own rifles that do this. So why would we pay uber amounts of $ for anything different and un proven?

I can't believe I'm posting but I have to say that I can't beat my EMC with factory suppressor and NF 2.5-10X24. It's expensive an I've owned the POF, DPMS SASS, AR10 SASS, Springfield NM M1A, etc. KAC has got something with this EMC. I've owned MK11 Mod O's in the past and the EMC is such a soft shooter and I've seen groups out to 800 with this 16" gun. I don't have the range here to reach out that's far nor do I have the need. I have a 338 for that!! I'll end my post here and wait for the KAC bashing to begin.

Re: Best 7.62mm Semi Automatic Sniper Rifle

A lotta DERp in this thread.

Just looking at that. . .FD308 brings up a lot of questions. They claim to use Lijia barrels, then on another page claim they are using Boot's tubes. Which is it? The rifle itself looks like its just cherry picked the best features from its established competitors, , (Rail attachement from LaRue, Sidecharger from LWRC, gas system looks like the Adam Arms setup, looks like they ripped off KAC's E3 bolt design as well.)

Makes me wonder if they paid for that IP, or if we should pass the questions along to those other manufacturers. . . .

If you think we're bad, patent lawyers are far, far worse. . . .

$10,000...? WTF dude, did they at least use some lube or give you some magic beans? It being a prototype seems like YOU could have gotten it for a better price considering most business who manufacture anything use their "prototypes" to work out the bugs.

To the OP, Im not a huge GA Precision fan (nothing they have done to have any bad feelings, I don't even own one of their rifles) but I hear the GAP 10's shoot. If I ever buy a semi-auto precision gun it will be a GAP 10 or OBR.

Here is my 3 shot group at 1,000 yards with an off the shelf semi auto. Lets see you beat that. Put up or shut up. You can borrow my countersniper scope serial number 1 if you want.

Bring any 308 semi-auto you want down to the San Antonio shoot. I'll put my guy and my rifle up against yours, and there you will have your proof.

If my guy wins I take your rifle, and vice versa. That offer goes to anyone. </div></div> </div></div>

<span style="font-weight: bold">that is an unbelievably small group for 1000 yards. not saying its impossible, just saying i dont believe you.

HA HA HA! That ain't no shit! I'm sure he probably meant 100yds because a group like you see posted would no doubt be a world record! </div></div>

Nobody ever heard of sarcasm in this corner of the Internet?

Re: Best 7.62mm Semi Automatic Sniper Rifle

First off I love the weight of the scar. There are a lot of positives on the guns reliability. I don't own one but have shot one several times. Do you really count it as a precision rifle? Also the lack of mags kill that gun. I don't see magpul ever making mags for it because of their connection with the acr. But hey I could be wrong

problemchild...Were you shooting off-hand? BTW, I count 5-rounds, not three.

^^^^^^^^^
You rock, I thought I was the only one paying attention. Thanks for bringing it back. It cracks me up that this mo fo still chimes in as much as he does. </div></div>

Now we can play matchmaker..... Exception feats of cold bore 1000yd playing card accuracy and 10,000 dollar rifles. What a sweet pair they would make. They can hang out, shoot the shit, hold hands and cruise around town. There's plenty of room in the Suburban, or maybe not when you include the egos..... </div></div>

Ya, for sure! It's like clockwork, someone starts a thread that includes any of the following:
-175 SMK
-Semi Automatic Sniper Rifle
-AR 10
-LWRC
-.25 MOA @ 1000
-Can you hit a playing card @1000? I can.
-I shot a 1" group @ 500, I mean 400, I mean 300...
This guy chimes in like people actually believe his b.s.

Makes for good entertainment, but fuck man, give me a brake. Oh well, someone has to be #1 around here. It's just as well him/them I suppose.

Perhaps they were separated at birth and it turns out their superior sniper gene brought them together at this very place and moment in time. Or, because of their superior genes they were selected at their birth by the United Federation of Intergalactic Super Human Space Alien Killers for super secret, covert sniper training in the hopes that one day they will be the saviors of us all. They should be treated with the upmost respect. Some day they may rescue us from the tyranny that plagues this planet. After all, they saved the people of Mars. Allegedly unofficially.
