AR-15, AR-10, or Tikka T3 Tactical?
Well, I'm thinking that once I sell the 98, I'm gonna be looking for a new gun. I have 800 yards to shoot out to at the cabin, and I don't think a AR15 would be good for much besides fun since I already have the 17HMR (which is soooo much cheaper to shoot). Sure, it'll take fox or coyote, but so will the 17HMR to 200+ yards.
So I'm liking the weight and ballistics of the .308 (yes, I already have one, but my buddy wants to buy it for his kid). I'm just stuck between an AR-10 and the Tactical T3 from Tikka (gotten great reviews). The Tikka won't burn through as much ammo, and will be more accurate, but the AR will be a lot more fun, and more useful when the zombies come .
So, I know gunman will chime in, but what do the rest of you think... Which would you get? And why?

Out of those three I would have to choose the AR-10.
I would get the Armalite AR-10TBNF338 with optional scope.
The AR-10 would be the better all around weapon, since it has most of the features the other two have. The T3 does weight a little less then the AR-10, The AR-10 weights 9 lbs with the scope, and the T3 weights 8 (I think)
Now the AR-10TBNF338 shoots a .338 fed round, not sure if you are wanting to stick with the .308, if you are only wanting a .308 rd, I would go with AR-10TNF
Just my 2 cents

Yeah, the problem with .338 is ammo is way more expensive, and harder to find. The other problem with the AR-10 is the amount of ammo I'd go through! LOL...
I just found a nice Winnie 308 Varmint that I might pick up, we'll see how the price works out. I really prefer a detachable mag, but a hinged floorplate will be ok...

OK here I go, First off I would go with the .308, cause you can find it anywhere, cheaper round to buy, & you can even reload AP bullets, less recoil then the .338, Now if you want a bolt-rifle, great for sniping, BUT an AR-10 will be an accurate rifle, plus you can laid down the fire-power if need be, also there are end-less option you can get PLEASE think of the future, you can always get a hunting rifle, but will you always be able to get an assult rifle ????

I would get the Tikka myself. Its an amazing looking weapon and you can get it in 308 which is obviously a proven round, and you said before you reload yourself dont you? So that would save a little more as well as keeping great consistency out to long ranges. AR10's and 15's are cool but I'm more of a bolt action guy myself, I like to play sniper every now and then....Either way, whatever you get it's still going to be a blast to shoot!
