.308 AR Query

So until several years ago you couldn't find a sub $2000 .308 AR model. The market basement was at that amount, unless you went DIY or previously owned. Then the Sig AR version showed up and upset the market pricing.

I had been pondering getting at .308 AR for the longest time until shortly after the Sig came out. About then I got distracted with other gun wants, plus my dad passing down a number of guns that I wanted to rehab.

So at about the time of the Sig entry I quit checking on the info out there. Since that time I've seen new entries and pricing while scanning articles on the Firearm Blog, but haven't really dug into it.

Now my interest has renewed and I have the time and money to start again looking into one. I still might build one, but I don't need advice on that front. If I go that route I'll do all the due diligence. But with new factory entries and pricing scales I'd like to check into that idea first. But I'm starting basically at zero again and figured to jump start my info gathering here on factory models.

So if you own one of the newer models, or have been heavily researching the prospects out there, then I'd like to hear back from you. Prices, pros/cons, mag compatibility, models that need a few key aftermarket additions, etc. I'm not looking for optics advice, unless a certain offering might have a notable issue in mounting certain optics. I tend to spend my first year with any AR using iron sights to get used to its quirks.

Thanks in advance.
