TL;DR: Rifle is fine.

When I originally decided I wanted an AR-10 I couldn't decide if I wanted to build or buy. I also wanted to stay on a budget, as close to $1000 as possible. After I started doing more reasearch I quickly realized two things; first and foremost I would not be happy with an off the shelf sub $1000 rifle and second, I was going to have to spend more than $1000.

Regarding an off the shelf rifle, I had a few thoughts. I wanted a free float handguard, which would add at least $200 to the cost of the off the shelf gun. Second I hated the cheap adjustable stocks that come on them. A new stock would add another $150 or more to the cost of the rifle. So at that point I'm getting into $1300 to $1500 territory. That was before optics.

I guess it was time to build. I started digging around and here's the list of parts and sources I ended up with.

Here's my completed LR 308 build. Parts list:

A vortex diamondback, whatever magnification you choose. Lifetime, no questions asked, warranty. You can even buy a used one on eBay and they will honor the warranty. I bought a vortex viper pst 6x24 on eBay for like $450, it’s about a $700 scope. Something was wrong with the elevation adjustment so I called vortex, they told me “so long as you have a vortex product in your possession we will honor the warranty, send it in.” So I did, they fixed everything for free and now I have a middle shelf scope and bottom shelf pricing. I also have two diamondbacks on two hunting rifles, they are about $300 and they’re great optics for the money.

Steel will beat up your barrel and extractor more than brass. As many have mentioned, the cost differential more than make up for the extra wear and tear. The only real issue with steel anything IMO is do you plan to shoot at places where it's prohibited? If so, buying cases of steel isn't the best idea. Most ranges that magnet test will nope you out of there even if it's only the case that reacts.

75% of my .223 and .308 target ammo is steel, easily. Also gives be a great excuse to pick up EASY work hours on the range. I bought a 20.00 rolling bar magnet and collect steel case for 20 min each trip.

I had terrible luck boresighting too until I just sucked it up and dropped major coin on a quality laser boresighter

$100 isn't cheap, but it's been a great tool considering I was wasting ammo like crazy because for some reason, I sucked getting on paper at the range.

I have a 22lr with a 28" barrel and that thing is impossible to bore sight...I see nothing when looking through it, perhaps the combination of long barrel and tight bore. This was a big help for me.

I like this because it also helps you level your reticle, but I find hanging a string with a weight and lining it up that way is just as easy.

Edit: a word

>I second this. Looks nice, and it's made in china so my wallet will probably like it.

Caldwell rest. This is apparently what the new version of it is ( https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0007Y8SBW/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 )

I would go with something designed for the AR platform that gets the scope out a bit farther so you can charge the rifle easily.

Like so

These work. I have used them in 3 M4E1 builds and one M5 build. And like the other guy posted the place for the set screw is not the same as an ar15. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0006O72M4/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I've done it on my first three builds myself and it's extremely simple. Using a gas block jig from SLR + 5/32 drill bit from amazon it only took a few minutes for each barrel.

Here is a video showing the whole process using the SLR jig.

In short get the right size jig for your barrel, find out the distance between your set screws (.400 or .450 you can eyeball this by putting it next to your gas block screw holes), slide it over the barrel and put the set screw into the gas port, put the drill guide screw into the bottom and drill a small dimple (just enough for the set screw head to sit in), repeat on the other hole if you want two dimples.

It's very easy but that being said it cost around $35 for a jig and bit. I had to do three barrels so it saved me some money over the local gunsmiths who want $25 for each barrel.

Jigs are here for $30 a piece.

Here is the bit I used for just over $2 if bought as an add-on item or $5 by itself.

For the locking thing, have you thought about a basic trigger lock? They're just this side of worthless, but if you're only worried about appeasing the local law, they should do the trick. I really do need to emphasize though, they are just this side of worthless.

I think that's it but can be sure..its been over a year since I got it. It did have 2 screws that were loose when I got it but I put a drop a drop of loctite and its performance has been perfect even under some really heavy recoil rifles

Reload.


Seriously.


I'm procrastinating so I'll just do the math for you right now:


As of April 16, 2019, a Lee Anniversary single stage reloading kit is $130.71

A set of Lee .308 dies is ~$45.

Let's say you add a few more reloading starter items and you bring your equipment cost to $300 USD. This is on the higher end of what you'd need to start, but who knows.


To load .308 you need brass, powder, primer, and a projectile.

Powder: Ramshot Tac. $160/8 lbs. (These are ballpark prices but I'm searching them on ammoseek.com right now which is a search aggregator).

Primer: CCI #200 Large Rifle Primer. $30/1000.

Brass: Mixed once-fired brass. $13/100.

Projectile: Hornady 168 HPBT. $0.24 per projectile


Let's assume 45 grains of powder per charge (note: Fuck no this is high. Don't use this. It's an overestimate).

That brings your total cost per round to: $0.53 per round. And that's assuming you don't use the brass multiple times. If you reload the brass 3x, that brings the total cost per round to $0.44 per round.

At $0.56 of savings per round compared to $1/round match ammo, you'll break even at about 540 rounds. While that may seem a lot, that's <6 months of weekly range trips of 25 rounds. And let's not lie. You'll probably shoot more than that.
