So, a guy asks for suggestions about reasonably priced 7.62 NATO battle rifles and three pages into the discussion and we still have some folks talking SHTF, encumberance, and the virtues of .223 VS. .308. What is wrong with the idea of purchasing a particular rifle just because you WANT one? Sheesh.
To the originally posted question...as you've probably figured out by now, 'budget' is a relative term when refering to battle rifles, assuming of course by the use of that term that you are refering to modern-ish semi-automatic military style rifles chambered 7.62 NATO, and not 03 Springfields, Mosins, Kropatscheks or Dreyse needle guns. In the .308 semi-auto world, $1,000 IS budget, and many of the suggestions here...FAL, PTR-91, Saiga, etc...are good options.
