A long while back when looking to purchase a semi auto in 7.62x51 I had my eyes on a CETME, PTR, or an HK91. I bit my lip and went for the HK. Never been happier with a purchase decision in my gun owning life. I like the style of the CETME, but issues as previously discussed worried me. My HK is rock solid, the fit and finish is beautiful and it is accurate. The downside? It was expensive when I bought it and those I've seen for sale lately are incredibly pricey. Still, there's nothing quite like the real deal. I'm considering a second, but due to cost may have to go with a PTR this time around unless I can find a really good deal on a shooter HK91. Too bad Century can't get it done. The basic design makes for a really stout hard hitting reliable battle rifle. I wouldn't part with mine and I've been offered a pretty penny for it. If you can find a good CETME it's based on one of the better rifle designs out there.
