A lot of folks like the Springfield Armory M1A.

I'm with Neal on this. I wouldn't sell my M1A NM for anything. Had a L1A1 for a while and it was a OK gun, but traded it for a AR.

+1 The M14 platform is awesome! SAI, LRB, Fulton Armory all currently make very nice examples of the M!4. There are standard, scout, NM and the short 16" barreled versions. Wood stocks, fiberglass and a variety of other modern collapsible stock aluminum chassis.
No matter what version, they are shooters![:)] The have the best iron sights available, and can mount optics also - and if you run out of ammo they make a great club![:D]
I would like to get an HKMR762. I have the MR556A1 and this has a very good shooter so I'm sure the 762 would live up to my expectations.
All these are pistons. The down side is they are heavier than a DI, and in my perception, I feel a little more recoil, but other than that, they've been great shooters.

I guess that I need to ask the question:
What reason or use do you have in mind? That will determine a good answer from all of the opinions.
Nostalgia, I'd definitely go for the M1A, nothing else.
Plinking and general purpose enjoyment, DPMS or any of the plethora of less expensive .308 AR platforms available.
Actual target shooting and competition, I'd have to go with the GAP10.
Ego and expense, German or imports that are hard to get.
Actual SHTF scenarios (unlikely), I'd buy the best combat proven .308 semi-auto available.
But, if you really want accuracy and don't have a huge need for a semi-auto, other than everyone else has to have one... I'd opt for the best custom .308 bolt rifle I could find. Hands down this would be my choice for anything in the above categories. It could be adapted easily for any field requirements for close in to 1,000 yard targets. Generally there is no need for the semi-auto for most folks. They just want what everyone else is buying.
Best.
