So, I want to buy a 308 rifle. PTR91 any good?

[enthusiast]

Looks like I need to re prioritize so I can get one of these. I don't have any guns in 308 so this would be my first. I like the idea of the PTR91 as I could hunt with it.

thoughts?

Just got an email from CDNNINVESTMENTS. They are selling them for something like $1300.

Not as good as a real HK91 but not bad either.

Figured that was why you were asking. I was surprised to receive it after they posted their delay message on their website. If I was looking for one I would most likely go for it. I seem to remember they were selling them for just under $1000 before the panic, so they didn't raise the price too much.

IME they are nice quality HK clones (unlike POS Century guns). On the other hand they are extremely nose heavy and ungainly. A .308 AR platform is a much better choice, and a Scar 17 blows both out of the water. But better is meaningless if you cant put your mitts on one.

Also a huge price difference between the Scar 17 and the PTR91.

hence the last sentence in my post.
