$500 or less to be honestly familia.

Op here... The receiver, barrel, and trigger group are PTR... I'm not sure if the rest of the rifle makes a difference. If you own a PTR, what kind of MOA are you getting?
>>
>>31013110
The trigger group is actually CETME. However, the trigger housing is PTR.

But seriously, save the extra couple hundred and treat yourself to a PTR. It's worth it.

>barrel
PTR doesn't make their own barrels; they get them from Green Mountain.
>>
>>31013110
Doesnt matter when monkies are slapping parts on to it and doing shitty welds.
>>
>>31013087
No. They're the rifle equivalent of a Taurus pistol. Other gun makers from Florida: Kel Tec, SCCY, Diamondback, Taurus US
>>
>>31013110
The parts are from PTR. They're assembled by the Taurus of the US, Century. Spend the extra few hundred bucks and buy a PTR.
>>
>>31013087
The c308 is a good way to start a .308 addiction
But for a few hundred more the PTR offers less of the Century quality control problems I.e dimpled primers, cruddy welds and meh tier triggers.
>>
>>31013110
The receiver is not headspaced by PTR, the C308 headspace issues mean your shit will kaboom because roller locked guns really like headspace.

Avoid C308

This is now a PTR thread.


Getting 3" groups at 100 yards without much effort. If I shoot slowly and focus it gets 2" groups.
>>
>>31013087
>>31014520

Exactly, just pay and extra 300 or so and get the full blooded PTR (and dont get the carbine, get the full length one too).

1000 for a semi auto 308 (with cheap mags to boot) is a great deal considering most start at 1500.

Or just assume it was gonna be 1500 to get a 308 and treat yourself to a PTR with 50 round X-Drums.

Because you know you want 50 rounders.
>>
Op here.... I trust my /k/ommandos will look at PTR. Are there any other companies that make a G3 clone in the us? Best price on a PTR online? Gunrbiker has some for like 800ish
>>
>>31013093
But that's a C308

I bought a C308, and I haven't had any issues with it. Granted what people say about Century is true and there is a big risk of getting a lemon. I've put around 800 rounds of ZQI 7.62x51, and Tula .308 through it, and it hasn't missed a beat.

>>31016275
No, that's a Federal Arms FA91 with cast aluminum receiver.

>>31016326
What kind of MOA are you getting?
