>>8773583>AR-10You mean an AR-15 in .308.
Anyways.. don't fucking get either of them. They're both gimmick rifles that are not really practical. If you need a scout rifle, you should be looking at a semi auto, and SOCOM doesn't even fucking use the SOCOM II, it's just stamped on the side to get stupid neckbeards to pay $1500 for something that the Chinese will sell for $400.
Get something CHEAP for your first firearm. It honestly doesn't REALLY matter whether it's a .22 or something surplus, but get something in the $200-300 range and buy yourself a ton of ammo to go with it. An SKS,10/22, or Model 60 are all very good choices that will get you out there.
If you start with a .308 you might as well be opting for the 91/30 because then at least you're flinching for minute of inside of barn for $100, not $500.
