The Annoyed Man wrote:My son put a Sage EBR stock on his M1A. Not more than 10 months later, he put the original stock back on, and modded it with a Karstens cheek rest like mine. The EBR stock works as advertised, but it had drawbacks too. One is that it takes a wonderful stock with no sharp edges and turns it into beast which pinches, scratches, pokes, and cuts you at every opportunity. The other flaw is that it makes an already heavy rifle noticeably heavier.

I think there are probably better choices of M1A/M14 stocks for general purpose use.

Then get the .308 AR of your choosing... or I would also look into building an EBR clone (Mk 14 mod 0) with the Troy kit off of the Garand platform. While familiarity of platform with the bigger bore AR may be nice, the EBRs are great and may satisfy and additional itch.

I want a semi .308 bad, but can't justify the moolah now. I'll be debating between the OBR, the EBR clone, or a piston platform (HK, POF, LWRC, FN SCAR). Then you have to pick glass for it...sight...

I think for the price of the HK, POF, SN, LWRC...I would throw all those in the mud for an OBR. The OBR is just pure TCB (takin care of business).
