Buyers, You get what you pay for. Save your $$ and buy a quality AR10 or similar. Don\'t waste your time or on these. I\'ve purchased a few century products, skip this one! I saw these for sale Fall 2018 but had originally heard about them from a online video review a couple years ago and heard great things. The video reviewer must\'ve received a flawless rifle or Century has changed the parts for complete garbage because the rifle I received was junk. I can\'t pull the bolt back without wrestling and wiggling and twisting the little handle with all my strength. If I\'m lucky (before my hands hurt) it\'ll hit a sweet spot and the bolt will go back. The front sight is off a few degrees to the left and are permanently welded. You can just see extremely shoddy welds all around the rifle, it looks like they spray painted a bunch of welded metal scrap. The craftsmanship is terrible. The top rail is literally a piece of picatinny tack welded in 4 places to the top of the receiver, if the permanent iron sights are off kilter I highly doubt the top rail was slapped on with care. The rear sight has 3 peep options and 1 open which spin loosely on a push pin that feels like it\'s gonna fall out. The rear sight is welded onto a hunk of metal. The two 20 round magazines are coated in cosmoline. After completely disassembling the rifle, cleaning, and re-lubing, I noticed a LOT of rust spots throughout the parts. After washing them you can tell they greased them up well enough to hide the poor quality. The muzzle break is literally where you can see they hacked off the end of the barrel and welded a threaded adapter to the end of a pipe.
Two positive thoughts. I shot about 100 rounds of tulammo .308 without any miss fires or failure to feed. BUT, I had to struggle with the stupid bolt and it took about 2-4 minutes to get the rifle charged. The second is you can throw a scope on the rifle (assuming the picatinny rail is somewhat level) and ignore the iron sights. I do not recommend the C308. This rifle does not hit the price point of other .308 semi-autos, and you will probably be disappointed.

Ordering process with Buds went smooth as always. As for the rifle not as much. Gun would not cycle rounds in chamber no matter if it was steel or brass casing. Tried three different magazines and still had failure to feed. After contacting Century Arms with the issue I was told to return to them and it would 4 to 6 weeks for repairs. Not very happy.

REALLY NICE SHOOTING BATTLE RIFLE. I WANTED SOMETHING BIGGER THAN 223/556 TO REACH OUT PAST 100 YARDS WITH NO PROBLEM. I HAVE A NIKON BDC 6X9 SCOPE ON IT. VERY ACCURATE. BOUGHT A RECOIL PAD FOR IT THAT MAKES IT SHOOT SOFTER. I'D BUY ONE BEFORE THEY ARE NO LONGER AVAILABLE AT ANY PRICE.

Shoots really smooth, not a bad trigger for a battle rifle, irons are accurate out of the box it’s just overall a blast to shoot

Overall rifle is in good shape, the charing tube was a little out of shape, nothing that a few seconds of work with pliers could not fix. Being a pain to charge, the extra rubbing didn't help, 3 minutes later, much better. I fed it some 1987 Malaysia produced ammo, it ate it perfectly, slung the cases in low earth orbit like a G3 would, while marking them with the HK fluted chamber markings. The plastic bits were clean, pretty good shape.
Over all a good buy for classic milsurp rifle.
Bud's service was FAST, it always has been. If i ever had a question, they were friendly and very helpful. Also one of my go to merchants. Can't wait for my reserved C93 to be sent. I'll have the mixed up family, MP5 (POF), C93 and C308. Thanks Bud's for a good deal on a nice firearm.

Firearm came in over a week after ordering. At first glance it is really nice. Took it apart to inspect and this thing was filthy. Was parts weelre caked in carbon. Plastic furniture isn't even of good quality. Seems really fragile and weak. I replaced it with Cetme wood. Much better. Great rifle.

The C308 is more than I\'d hoped for. It runs well and is more accurate than I am. The recoil is significantly lighter than my bolt action 30 06 and the C308 is great fun and cheap to shoot with surplus ammo.
