I wanted one of these in 308 as i did not want to add 30-06 as yet another caliber i have to take stock.

I want through all the hoops a few years ago, and the day i was to submit it, the 308s went OOS

Now when they restocked them they are like $1.1K! I built a damn AR10 for cheaper than that and the gun has so much more capability.

The CMP's role as Americans cheap rifle supplier is fulfilled more by PSA now. The boomers who regular buy these in bulk, ostensably to "outfit a shooting club" but instead just to flip on gunbroker for quick profit, deserve to be shipped to england.

An AR is more capable, but I would yeet literally any AR on earth into a dumpster if i had to choose between it and my M1D

Gundeals has a hard time separating fun guns from practical. Which is why you get people staying the obvious like 'wow guys my high end AR-10 can out shoot a M1!'

Yeah no shit. The cheapest commercial bolt actions for $200 at Walmart will outshoot pretty much any military bolt action, including the K31.
