    Holy smokes, DPMS G2 rifles

    That's great to hear...certainly sounds like the set screw setup is pretty secure. I'll probably pull the trigger on it today or tomorrow.

    Holy smokes, DPMS G2 rifles

    Does it stay in place as well as a clamp on style? That's my only concern, because I agree that it's cleaner looking. CTown137 - Glad to hear you got it running well!

    Holy smokes, DPMS G2 rifles

    I was looking at adjustable gas blocks last night on various sites and I'm also leaning towards the Syrac but can't decide on the clamp-on style or the set screw style. Any thoughts on which style is better?

    Holy smokes, DPMS G2 rifles

    I finally got a chance to break out the G2 SASS this past weekend to start the break-in process. First off, the SASS ran flawlessly without any issues whatsoever. The DPMS mag and two of the Magpul Gen 3's I have also ran without a glitch with the bolt staying locked back on the last round. I...

    NEW from XLR Industries **ELEMENT CHASSIS**

    I have a Remington 300 WM in an Evolution chassis and would love to put my Howa in an Element. Add me to the list of people that would order an Element immediately if you made it for the Howa 1500.

    Xlr chassis system. Tell me your thoughts

    If you're looking for a XLR chassis for a Remington action then call Red Hawk Rifles. I had them build me a Remington 700P 300 Win Mag in an Evolution chassis and it came out great. I just got an email from them today announcing a sale on the XLR chassis and they have them in stock for the...

    Thanks Birddog6424. I'll check into these on the next trip to the LGS. bzg4cf, Nice lookin' rig. I almost went that way myself before ending up with the G2 SASS.

    Holy smokes, DPMS G2 rifles

    Yeah I'm pretty excited about the course. I didn't get a chance to shoot the GII SASS yet as I spent my range time this weekend breaking in the barrel on my new custom 300 win mag bolt action rifle. I bought some cheap PPU and Federal Fuzion 165 grn ammo to do the dirty work and for some reason...

    DPMS .308 at the range

    Did any of you guys follow DPMS' instructions for barrel break in, or did you just go and shoot it as normal? This is my third rifle and I've followed the tedious barrel break-in instructions on the other two and they are both sub MOA...a Rock River LAR-15 HBAR and Howa Axiom 308 20" heavy...

    DPMS .308 at the range

    Redneck38, which model DPMS did you get? Is it a GII? I just picked up a DPMS GII SASS yesterday and plan to start my barrel break in tomorrow. I had a good conversation with a DPMS CS Rep today about it. He mentioned that it should get more and more accurate as you get through the break in...

    Holy smokes, DPMS G2 rifles

    175 SMKs are exactly what I'll be using in my reloads. I've signed up for a course through the Sig Sauer Academy near me called Reach for a 1000 where they instruct on how to shoot long range. We get to shoot at distances of 100, 300, 500, 800 and 1000 yards. I was planning on running the custom...

    Holy smokes, DPMS G2 rifles

    I've got a G2 SASS on the way thanks to this thread. I had also been considering a LMT MWS and the previous generation DPMS models but all the excellent feedback on the G2 rifles swayed me. I can't wait to get it, toss a scope on it and throw some 7.62 down range. I went with the SASS because I...
