FN AR or a AR-10. IMO there is no sense in slowing down to reload, unless you can actually out shoot a sub-MOA rifle. Saw a few Remington 700s on Google shopping under $600. Midwest hunters seem to always have a great price if you know a dealer. You also might want to consider some of the classics like a Mauser, Mosin Nagant or Lee Enfeild? If you get a C&R license you can order them off the INTERNET. You might also want to research a particular caliber like a .300 Mag, just something that has a particularly flat and fast trajectory.

I thought a lot of the old military rifles got a bad wrap IMO. Either from poor care, time or corrosive powders it just doesn't seem fair to right them off just yet if you want a fun project. The trick is to find one in great condition which is near impossible unless you "know a guy", get lucky, or have a C&R license and are able to find the ones that have spent the majority of their life in a cosmoline bath at a forgotten warehouse.
Seems a little expensive in general to me. Rifle $600+, Scope $400+, Ammo $250 1/4 case in .308. Still need mags, bipod, cleaning kit, scope rings, targets, range membership and the kicker, a good excuse for the old lady.
This stuff makes airsoft look affordable. I'm happy just popping a few rounds now and then to stay familiar with my carry.
Not really a M14 fan but I'll give it to you that they can be very accurate if they are bedded correctly. They just seems like their value is over hyped. If I was going to competitively shoot though a .308 would probably be one of my first choices. There is just too many choices out their for reloading not to consider it. Check out Georgia-arms.com for ammo. If you save your brass they will give you a discount.
