    The world of .308 ARs - hesitant to jump in...

    So far there doesn't seem to be a lot of information out there about the reliability of the G2.

    Holy smokes, DPMS G2 rifles

    Lol. It would be interesting if Freedom Group could land some military business for these weapons. Then they might have more credibility as "battle rifles" or SHTF weapons. The weight savings is hard to ignore.

    Holy smokes, DPMS G2 rifles

    The agony of carbine vs. DMR set up. All scopes are quite heavy compared to an Aimpoint Micro...but does the ability to actually see your target beyond 100 yards outweigh the weight penalty? I have been debating this a lot myself. I'm also debating LMT versus a G2 versus a SCAR 17...only...

    LMT worth the extra 1k?

    You're probably right, and I have been debating the SCAR heavily from time to time. I seem to have an emotional attachment to the large frame AR's for some reason, but my mind agrees that the SCAR is probably a better overall choice... And yeah, not planning to shoot off a bipod much or a...

    LMT worth the extra 1k?

    I've been debating this question myself. I have a DPMS Recon, but would like to move up to the "next level". On the other hand the DPMS Gen II seems to offer a lower possible weight than any other platform at the moment, and I'm more interested in a "battle rifle" style gun rather than a...

    Has anyone tried Magpul's MOE stock on an AR10 type rifle?

    I have one on mine, I'm about 6'3" and it feels pretty good to me. I would say its LOP is longer than where most people would run a collapsible stock. I think the weight is actually slightly lower than an ACS and considerably lower than a PRS. For me the cheek weld feels decent but I am not...

    7mm-08 in a AR platform

    Why would .308 be forbidden?

    LR-308 issues

    Sorry to hear of your trouble. Just to let you know, there is hope. I have the same rifle and have run about 300 rounds of PMI and Tula through it and it hasn't malfunctioned once...I also haven't really cleaned it thoroughly but I have lubed it some, but not a lot. It isn't a finicky rifle...

    DPMS Recon Tactical .308 for $900?

    No problem, you might consider going for the other one that doesn't have full length rails. It might save a little weight and also give you something a bit smaller in diameter to hold onto. The way my rifle is setup it weighs about 10.5 pounds with no magazine, so it's a little heavy to use as...

    Budget Shooting Comms

    I have a Peltor Tactical Sport headset. Is there some way possible to connect this radio to my headset? Is it possible to also set up a mic as well?

    DPMS Recon Tactical .308 for $900?

    Went out for a bit today with it. I was pleased I was able to hit consistently from 310 yards on this 2/3 silhouette with Tula and an EOTech.

    DPMS Recon Tactical .308 for $900?

    How is it working out for you? I have this rifle also, but I haven't tried any distance shooting with it. Using it more as a carbine.

    Bushnell DMR 3.5-21 AR Mount

    Ha ha. After building a budget bolt rifle, and buying a budget 308 AR, I'm starting to think maybe I should have gone with the "buy once, cry once" theory right from the start...

    The Case of the PredatAR **please help**

    Barrel weight...I mean, isn't it possible to shoot a good group out of a pencil barreled bolt action rifle? It really should only suffer when the barrel heats up correct? Not to confuse this issue more...

    Bushnell DMR 3.5-21 AR Mount

    Lots of great suggestions, thanks. On the AD-Recon-SL, how does that work for height with a non-adjustable cheek weld stock? I'm using the MOE Rifle stock right now. I could live without the BUIS. One other issue I see is whether or not I could get the scope far enough forward with that...

    Bushnell DMR 3.5-21 AR Mount

    How would you mount a Bushnell DMR to an an LR-308 or any other AR style rifle? Being a 34mm tube seems to limit the choices. It seems like a cantilever mount of some sort is necessary to get the scope in the correct position but I can only theorize about it; right now I have an EOTech and I...

    LMT MWS 308 Muzzle Brake

    Anyone have a picture of the Surefire brake installed? I have one installed on my DPMS Recon, and now I'm paranoid that I have the wrong shims. Not knowing how the 5.56 shims differ from the 7.62 shims (assuming the size of the hole in the center).
