Picked up new FN 7.62x51mm(.308) today!

[GreyLupo]

Today I traded in my DPMS AP4 .308 and picked up an FN FNAR 7.62x51mm.
Why?

-Its designed to fire the 7.62x51 nato and regular .308. ( yes their is a difference). In my DPMS shooting the nato round would void the warranty and possibly fubar the rifle.

-It's a gas-operated short stroke piston action semiauto long range badass rifle. More reliable than the DPMS.

-Guaranteed 1 moa before leaving factory, but will and can shoot sub-moa.

-20 and 30 round mags available.

If I had the money, I would of kept the DPMS, it's a great rifle and was very accurate, but as a wise man once said "this shit ain't cheap!"

Nice.:thumb: Give us a range report when you get the chance.
That's cool that you can shoot both rounds in it. That's the one thing that holds me back from getting a SA M-1A.

Isn't the .308=7.62x54?

Thanks! Im going to try to make it up north where I can sight it in at a 200 yard range in the next 2 weeks. It's already scoped and bore sighted, just have to dial it in:)

Nope it's 7.62x51mm, yes it is .308 but they are not identical.
