I recently purchased a SCAR 17 which is probably the most fantastic gun I've ever owned that wasn't belt fed. I purchased the SCAR the same week I got engaged and she is wanting an expensive wedding so I am looking for an alternative if I can't afford to keep my SCAR. If I can't keep it, I think I would like to keep a semi-auto .308 around because ammo has dropped for them and it's a fun round. I'm debating between an H&K 91 clone (PTR or Century c308) and a FAL. I had an FAL in the past but it was a Century build so I wasn't very impressed with the quality of it. Also FAL's are extremely heavy, but I really like the way they look and feel (besides the weight). I've handled FA91 which is a H&K 91 clone but I wasn't entirely impressed by its quality either, but I have never seen or held either a PTR rifle or a Century c308. I'm skeptical of anything century but the reviews aren't terrible. The mags are also really cheap which is nice. If have to get rid of my SCAR and want to stay with a lower end .308 which would you choose?

I'm not a fan of the pakerizing, I would like black but beggars can't be choosers.

Its black, $100 cheaper, has rail already installed, but.... it's Century
Century Arms C308 Sporter Rifle RI2253-X
This one defeats the purpose of being a rifle but this is what really like. Can you put the wide black G3 style handguard on the 18" barreled rifle?
PTR K3P PDW .308 Pistol Atlantic Firearms Exclusive
Here's the FAL option. It's big, heavy, but proven design and awesome looking but still $1100.
DSA FAL SA58 Rifle VOYAGER 16
What would you guys do? Or go to a VEPR in 54r because I already have 9,000rds of ammo for it? So many choices!!
