PBratton appears to have answered the question. I just had no idea that you could get one so cheap.

I in no way mean to be disrespectful, but good luck with that. If you get a line on sub-$800 .308 rifles that are safe to shoot, let me know. I'd like one too. But having owned a couple, The cheapest I've ever seen one is in the mid-$900 range, and it was a well-used plain jane AR10.

Wow. At that price, can they be very good? Or maybe I'm asking the wrong question.... At that price, beggars can't be choosers?

I've owned both an expensive custom built AR10, and a very nicely modified M1A. Still have the AR10, but would gladly trade it back for the M1A.

Charles.Contingency is right in that you're not going to find a quality .308 battle rifle for that price range, but if you're willing to add a few hundred more, you can get an M1A and be happy for life.

AND it will render the fired cases unsuitable for reloading..... Great rifle from a reliability standpoint, but not so much from a reloading point.
