    If it were me, I would certainly put the M1A on the short list.

    FN-FAL, with Imbel, DSA, or DCI reciever. Unless you can afford to go original import, which if you are shopping for those AR-10 platforms shouldn't be much difference in price for a well used Belgian or a nice Imbel (SAR48 or SAR4800)

    I have a M1 national match, I picked up used and redone years ago. I'm looking more for a so callled assult weapon. At the nearest gun store they had a mp-10, rock river and a sig sauer 716. I like the ss 716. Because i read in gun test the two stage trigger in the rock river fail and became a single stage trigger?

    Hands down, no questions asked, the best one on the market for dollar value is the GAP-10, made by GA Precision, in N.Kansas City. They guarantee for 3/4MOA, and actually shoot 1/2 MOA. They are made on POF upper's and lower's, wioth a gas impingment system, and a Bartlein 5R barrel. The trigger is a crisp 3.5 pounds out of the box, but it is not your standard trigger,either. It has ambi-controls on the mage release, bolt release, and safety. All for around $3K.

    Best

    I just acquired an LWRC REPR w/ 20" barrel, their 308 version. Money's worth? It is a piston and it is relatively expensive, but a lot of the upgrades you would put on are there already. Gieselle two stage adjustable trigger, rebadged Troy BUIS sights, adjustable Magpul MIAD stock.

    On the flip side, I have an HK91 with most of the bells as whistles but there are a ton of accessories available for it.

    Both are heavy, especially with scopes. I think the LWRC runs about 11 lbs and the HK91 a little heavier.

    I bought the Sig Sauer 716, I let you know how it is when it warms up and I can shot it!
