The Smith MP-10 is a 1.5-2" rifle, easy carry, decent set-up from the factory. The barrel is lightweight, and the rifle is a decent entry level .308, IMHO.

It's not a match rifle, and it's not going to get to match level without some investment. I had one, liked it, but found I could build as good for accuracy, and with the ability change parts if I wanted.

The basic DPMS line with get you hunting, if you are still not sure how deep you want to get into a AR-10 sized rifle...some guy on here by the handle of "djones" seems to do OK with a DPMS, with a few mods...

If you are looking at rifles, I've had good results with Aero AR-10 products as well.
