S-L-O-W-L-Y building my own .308 on Aero upper and lower. May finish it sometime this year. Weight is a concern but I doubt I'll ever be able to keep the weight low enough that it will be much of a prolonged-carry rifle. My Ruger .308 Scout with the synthetic stock supposedly comes in at 6.25 pounds sans scope and fills that bill.
Barrel and handguard options are welcome.

No, I'm not a Ruger bigot - just an unabashed fan of their revolvers, M77's and #1's.
A good .30-06 is a 99% solution.
