Okay recently I've started a few posts about .308 and 7.62 NATO, and rifles that shoot them. I'm come to the conclusion that since rifles designed for .308 Win are made to withstand more pressure than rifles designed for 7.62, I should try to find a semi-auto rifle that is made for the specs for the .308, and not the 7.62.

So what are some (widely recognized/not overly expensive/reliable) military grade (semi-auto) rifles chambered for .308? (not 7.62, whose bullets harder to get anyway)
