aimsurplus has new ARs for < $700. The newest Mini-14s have solved much of the accuracy issues they had in earlier models and has a beefed up barrel. I believe they are around $1000 though. If all you want is a plinker, I would look at cost of ammo, not cost of rifle. you also need to look at where you are going to shoot. If the best range you can get to is 100 yds, there is no need going to a .308. I would pick up a $200 mauser or $100 nagant and some surplus ammo. It doesn't sound like you want to do precision shooting, so those are inexpensive ways to enjoy the trigger pulling.
