So I'm saving up money to buy myself a .308 hunting/sporting/show off rifle. Whether it be bolt action or autoloading, I'm looking for a good .308Win/7.62x51 NATO rifle that will get me accuracy out to at least 200m (shouldn't be too hard with a .308 cartridge) which I can show off to friends to make them all jelly. I currently have my eyes on either a DSA SA58 (FN FAL), a PTR-91 (H&K G3), or a Springfield M1A (Springfield M14). If anyone has any experience with the listed or experience with a good looking accurate .308/7.62 rifle, feel free to share.

RabidKitten I shoot people all the times....in video games. *amazing* I know right? CoD is the most realistic shooter ever since your bullets always go wherever your crosshair intersects/iron sights meet regardless of range and wind.

So a local gun shop is going to acquire a Century Arms L1A1 (FN FAL) probably sometime this week. I'll probably be getting this despite the horror stories I've heard about older Century Arms FAL patterns. Unless anyone can come up with a better option, this will probably be the one I'm gonna get.

R6V2 was a fun game no doubt. But it is no more realistic than CoD was. Penetration and stopping power are things that have never been factored into R6. All they have is "damage". For example, a .45 ACP round will probably take someone off their feet if you land a good shot while a .223 will probably whiz right through them. Against armor, the .223 will penetrate more armor and do more damage (the .45 probably won't penetrate at all) but the .45 will probably stagger them and drop them faster than a .223. I would also appreciate it if they added some battle rifles such as the M14 or the FN FAL (2 rifles I mentioned in this thread alone) in addition to the lone G3 (only battle rifle in R6V2 if I remember correctly) and make them a hell of a lot more effective in terms of firepower. Of course recoil will be much higher than a rifle firing an intermediate cartridge, but a .308 should be enough to take anyone down with a single well-placed shot. Anyway I can't say I'm much of a fan of FPS games. I tend to stick to RTS like Company of Heroes. Once you mod it properly, Company of Heroes can be a very realistic game.
