    Is the POF P308 G4 worth the extra thousand over Ruger SR-762?

    So you would suggest that it's not possible to build a "go to work" 7.62 AR below a certain weight? What is this magic number, and what is it about these guns that make them so much better specifically?

    I thought about an LMT but decided against it and went DPMS GII because the weight of the LMT seems a bit prohibitive to me in the battle rifle role. If they came out with a 7.5 pound version I would be interested. At that weight you're still pushing 10 pounds loaded up I suspect.

    Scar-17 tips/tricks and ammo recommendations?

    15.6, wow. I imagine it is stable to shoot at least.

    What does that weigh set up like that? I'd be interested to see a picture of a SCAR with the adapter and a CTR or something like that...what's the stock/adapter weight combination in comparison to the OEM stock?

    By POS I'm assuming you mean POF? The irony.

    Is a SCAR 17 really worth the asking price?

    It does. I shot it first in stock form, clamshell handguards etc. and it was crappy. In this configuration it's much better. I'm sure it does not help bystanders though... I blew up a Tula steel case round in it already and blew the magazine out the bottom; it was unscathed by that episode...

    It's actually ok to shoot, but I can't argue your other points.

    I hadn't seen the keymod one yet, that's nice. Still 1.5 pounds more than this... :)

    Holy smokes, DPMS G2 rifles

    You can use rails of the same diameter as an AR15 at least, which goes a long way toward making the gun feel smaller.

    Thanks, it weighs 7.2 pounds with a Vicker's padded sling. Waiting for a Weaver 1-5 for it...it should weigh about 8.5 pounds with that.

    How much does the SCAR weigh with an extended rail?

    LMT .308 MWS

    This. It's made to shoot decently and be reliable...can't get blood from a turnip.

    Building my first semi .308

    The only problem with the Bushnell is that it's a lead sled. If you might want to actually carry this gun somewhere that's not going to help the situation.

    Scar-17 tips/tricks and ammo recommendations?

    Right, I forgot the SCAR is made of titanium and lubed with unicorn tears... And I guarantee your minivan isn't as light as a Corvette either. :)

    Scar-17 tips/tricks and ammo recommendations?

    My DPMS G2 with a Nikon Monarch X 2.5-10 and Vicker's sling is 9 pounds. I'll be switching it to a Weaver 1-5 this week, it should weight about 8.5 lbs. with that.

    Is a SCAR 17 really worth the asking price?

    The DPMS GII has the SCAR beat for lightness...but obviously the reliability is up in the air, probably not as good, at the very least not proven.

    Looking for a new 308 for around 1500 Dpms Recon G2...& steel cased ammo?

    I'm done with Tula myself. Had a ruptured case screw up my bolt gun and then tried it in my G2 and blew the magazine out the bottom. Brass XM80 at least for me from now on.

    He's referring to the possibility that the SCAR 17 eats optics due to a funny recoil pulse.

    Holy smokes, DPMS G2 rifles

    AP4 with MI 12" rail.

    Ruptured Case

    My understanding is that there is also XM80 spec brass stuff that has bi-metal projectiles, so I don't think that problem is confined only to steel case stuff.
