So me and my random faggot were having a chat and the topic of semi automatic rifles came up. As usual he keeps up his american shtick and says "ar!" while i dare to differ and go a certain russian gun. Disregarding price and rarity, wich one would you pick?

Bottom
The AR is superior in any way unless you're a Vatnik.
Bottom.

>better trigger

yeah, your buddies gotcha this time.
is this bait? the fucking M110 you retard
Dragunov because the m110 is a flaming hunk of garbage and you could build a better ar10 for 1/5 the cost
I'll take the AR please.
Dragonov's are not actually that great, they are just infamous. I woukd take an M110 any day of the week.
You're only daring to be wrong. I love my AKs more than my ARs but AKs are not better and you're delusional if you think otherwise.
AR10 because 5.56 is for pussies.
the AR-10 is the superior rifle, but given the choice between the two I'd choose the SVD hands down. A sexier rifle simply doesn't exist.
>an SVD is an AK
That's great man, but we're talking about the SVD.
>my random faggot
you arent correct just cause you arent some amerifuck
About the only advantage of the SVD that I could conceivably think of is that the gun/scope is very rugged and keeps it's zero very well regardless of how often you remove/attach it. Don't have an M110 so I don't know how it would compare in that regard.
Other than that yeah, I'd be willing to bet the M110 isn't better in every other way that matters.
t. actual SVD owner
* willing to bet the M110 IS BETTER
Derp.
You're better off with any rifle available than the AK.....until they jam. Funny enough, both sides started copying each other. The most advanced ARs is using the gas piston (m27 and scar), the scar is even using a 7.62. The AK started using a 5mm cartridge in ak74 and even the m16 appearance in its ak-12/15.
The M110 was and is many things
Shit isn't one of them
It's wildly accurate, reliable by all accounts, and achieves high end bolt action accuracy in a semi automatic platform, while having a great round count life thanks to the number of improvements KAC has bullshitingly patented that greatly improves upon the AR and I wait for the day the Military uses if they ever make an M4A3
Ok the flip side it's absurdly expensive, almost prohibitively and undeservingly so
But no, for 800-900 dollars you're not building a better LR308 considering you'd be spending 600+ on the match grade barrel it uses
You stupid fucking Vatnigger
this. wtf, OP?

fpbp
M110 even though I do love the Dragunov.
bottom is objectively better, but I'd get the top because I already have enough ARs for now and it's so damn pretty.
>not designed in the 60s
semantics about the particular nu-armalite standard aside, the AR-10 was designed in the 50s. Granted, I don't think the SVD has actually changed any since then, whereas an M110 has little if any parts compatibility with the original AR-10
>while having a great round count life thanks to the number of improvements KAC has bullshitingly patented
please expound.
Some guy on FB did a side by side shoot between a tigr, sr25 and scar 20 so here is his data.
1/5
2/5
Next 3 pics are just groups shot with either of the rifle
3/5
4/5
5/5
This is the SR25 groups despite scar also loitering in the photo
The tl;dr is that the scar and SR25/M110 are neck and neck.
Tigr suffers because its fucking old but its ultimately not a complete shit heap. At its time it was probably pretty good in comparison to the M21 in use by the americans.
If I had to grab one and rely on it to do serious work, M110 all day any day.
>Double the magazine capacity.
>Magazines are easier to swap and readily available.
>Better accuracy potential.
>7.62 NATO is a world standard with hundreds of loads available with match grade ammunition alone, whereas x54R only has some sniper ball available.
>Picatinny directly on top of the receiver is a far better optics mounting solution than a dovetail mount.
>Pic rails offer potential for accessories, although I probably wouldn't use it all that much.
>Better control layout. Can toggle safety with my thumb.
>I am far more familiar with the takedown and maintenance of an AR-10 than an SVD.
SVDs are still cool as fuck due to the unicorn rarity factor in the US, but they really aren't up to scratch compared to a decent AR-10 build let alone an M110. They aren't useless by any means either but the difference is significant, especially given the task they are designed for.
Rather have as in to take into a fight or have as in be able to own?
the bottom one is alright
M27 and SCAR are short stroke piston, AK is long stroke. If anything, the direction the AR15 is going is towards the AR18 for militaries. Except it isn’t going stamped metal.
The one that's free floated
Dragunov purely for its aesthetic
