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?Pawpaw wrote:http://texaschlforum.com/viewtopic.php? ... 15#p948814" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;The Annoyed Man wrote:I in no way mean to be disrespectful, but good luck with that.

I just built my .308 on the Palmetto PA-10 upper and lower. It has so far been a flawless performer.Pawpaw wrote:I have no idea, TAM. I am under the impression that PSA is pretty well though of, or do I have that wrong?
The two in the post appear to be identical wit the exception of the more expensive one has a rear sight included.
I would not hesitate on a Palmetto product.
And keep in mind, just like it's little brother, if you don't like the way it looks today, you can get parts to change it.

I bought my .308 VEPR for $600+ shipping & have seen them for less than that, but after the Russian sanctions they became tougher to find.

Re: Semi Auto 308 Reccomendations
A friend of mine just got a Palmetto AR10. I'll relay his opinion of it as soon as I get some feedback from him. Hopefully I'll get to shoot it.

I've got a Bushmaster. Nothing fancy I just use it to hunt but it's accurate enough out to 400 yards that I'm confident.
