DMR Options

>>31532247
Why the fuck would you waste your money on an M14?

As a lover of M14s, do yourself a favor and buy an AR-10 instead. Unless you're a canuck, then a M308 is a good choice for a first gun if you cant stand slav shit SVTs/SKSs and you can afford the ~$1 per round .308.

Get a 20 inch PTR with a trigger job, bull barrel, and an hk bipod.

Slap a scope on it.

Done.

Accurizing them is a lot of money and time. After all is said and done you could spend the same money on a SCAR or some AR platform and get the same to better accuracy out the box. That being said I own a AR10 and will probably be purchasing a socom as well because reasons. It's your money so do what you want with it. Will you just be killing paper or what?

>>31532280
As someone who spent a lot of time and money accurizing a M1A (WY gunsmith glass bedding, unitized gas cylinder, machined receiver for sadlak mount), I regret nothing. It's now a beautiful (and heavy) rifle.

I love my m1a nm, but there are better options for the DMR role tahn the m14, sure it's a classic, but it's also dated as a weapon design. I use to scoff at folk who said the m14 was the best riffle of ww2, but that saying does kinda ring true...

I'm not saying you can't love and enjoy the m14 see

But having spent a lot of time on one , and reloading for it, I'd look else where for a DMR.

Also you're gonna wanna define your "mission" for your DMR really...really....really well before settling on a platform.

Weight
Suppressed vs unpressed
Precision
Long range vs Urban
5.56 cal vs 6mm vs 30 cal and each ones merits in the above section.
Overall operation cost and longevity
and so on.

If you're dead set on getting an m14 styled rifle, do your self a favor and really dig into the subject, the US govt spent a long time trying to fix the m14 for the role you're looking for and ended up bailing for the most part.

Why you want the M14 to begin with bro? Anyways if you really want a nice starter level rifle for precision shooting just go with remmy 700 and waste the rest in optics, a better stock and a reloading bench.

Once you get good at that shit and learn how to measure your ambient conditions and calculate the firing solution you can get something better.

Seriously nigga, get a remmy 700, swfa x10 scope and AICS stock.

Here's the ranking of battle rifles, in descending order, according to the head instructor of the Battle Rifle Class at Gunsite:

1) FN SCAR 17
2) FN FAL (w/ flat-top reciever)
3) AR-10
4) M-14/M1A
5) HK 91
6) M1 Garand

Of course, this ranking is a matter of opinion to a certain extent, but my point in posting this is that the M14/M1A is not the best modern option for a battle rifle or DMR. It's ergos are old-fashioned, and its design is not optimal for mounting optics.

If you're really committed to the M14 design (a sentiment to which I empathize), I recommend getting the Scout Squad (18" barrel) instead. The 16" barrel is pretty wasteful for 7.62x51, but the full-size 22" is unwieldy by modern standards.

Give me your PTR since you hate it so much

>>31532247
>This will be my first rifle

M1As are cool but you should just get an AR or even a 10/22 for your first. If you're hell bent on getting a M1A you should get a fullsized one

Why didnt you improperly paint your receiver as well as your plastics on your PTR91?

Yeah this or build a cheap shit AR.

I don't understand why people dump so much cash into their first shooting experience. You don't even know if you'd like cleaning your rifle yet.

PTR fag here, and Jesus Christ is this sentiment common. I love shooting mine but I would never delude myself to thinking it is more than a grunt rifle in a big boy cartridge. Lol at the eotech on the UTG mount.

>>31533633
Why do people think battle rifles are boltgun accurate because they fire big boolets.

>>31532247
get a colt 901, or a Daniel defense 762, or an ar10.

For the money, colt is best value because you can swap the upper for an ar15 upper. 1 gun 2 calibers

cheapest is ar10, and most expensive and high quality is the DD

>OP posts asking for DMR's
>Faggots post battle rifles

Good job anons.

Here OP, here's something that is actually precise enough to be considered a DMR. Better than any SVD or PSL which is considered the definition of DMR.

>guys I want X gun
>no you don't, buy Y and Z guns instead
Faggots need to stop forcing their opinions in threads they don't belong.

I am willing to bet that ranking is also the ranking from top to bottom of which gives him the most commission per sale.

If i Could i would get a another rifle then the FNAR, tho i have not shot mine yet.

taken it apart one and i don't plan on doing it unless i have too.

You have so many other great options unlike me here in NofunEU

>>31532914
Unsuppressed moving to suppressed later on.
Ammo .308
Precise and Accurate
Urban combat rang 200-800 yrds
From my research the basic rifle SCAR - FAL are all about the same price ranged (1500-2000 USD). I'm open to better options for the body then moving to the optical and etc later. Thanks

FNAR BRAND FNAR

>>31532247
PA fag here we might very well be neighbors, you have to really search for a good deal at the Oaks show now. Like most gun shows it has gotten very expensive quickly. Try Kings Shooters and Insight Firearms. If you are willing to take the drive try Shydas or Tanners they usually have good prices.

Here's mine. Springfield Armory M1As are hit and miss with quality control and receiver specs. They do take a lot of work and money to accurize, and they're not the friendliest to mounting optics. If you're going for a .308 semi-auto precision rifle, you're going to want to look at AR10s unless you have a huge M1A boner. I picked mine up just because I was cruising armslist for good deals and happened to find one. If you really want an M1A, go with Fulton Armory. Expensive up-front but you know its a quality rifle from the start.

I'm liking that green.

>>31537537
Yeah, me too. The only thing I dont like is the bald-spot in the handguard from where I removed the scout rail. I ordered another handguard but they fucked up and mailed me a brown one. I might just end up painting it green to match.
