I persnoally think that the American made guns are of much better quality. That does not mean that they are better. .308 is .308 in any gun. My problem is the cost of American made guns. Colt made rifles in the Military style will cost you $3K+, while something like the Saiga will cost you around $600. It doesn't matter to the bullet, if the gun functions, then the Saiga in .308 is just as good as the Colt in .308. Maybe not as pretty, but just as effective.
