Armalite AR-10.
The modern Brown, er...Black Bess.
I have an Armalite AR-10B (the M14 mag model). It's a good rifle too. I had an opportunity to handle a RRA .308, DPMS .308 and my Armalite AR-10B one weekend. The RRA was the heaviest and clunkiest of the 3. The DPMS was the lightest, but the trigger was awful (can be changed) and it was the cheapest feeling of the 3. The AR-10 had the best fit and finish of them all and was mid-way regarding weight of the 3. I installed an ARFX stock and a JP front handguard, making it a nice handling gun.
My AR-10 has the chrome lined barrel. It's a 1 1/2" - 2" gun at 100 yards which is perfectly acceptable for most hunting. I never did spend time trying to work up a handload for it and I typically just shot winchester silver box or remington corelock. It's possible it shoots better with quality ammo.
