DPMS Classic 20" LR-308?

[polytech]

Anybody have one? I'm considering buying one for tactical style competition rifle. I'll probably end up replacing the barrel but I'm curious if the factory barrel will shoot 1moa or a little less with a good handloads.

Right now I have a Geiselle 2-stage match trigger waiting for it and I'll probably put a PRS stock and Troy TRX float tube right off the bat.

My son has one. We haven't shot it a whole ton as of yet. Will the factory barrel shoot 1MOA or less? I think that some production factory barrels can, but there is no guarantee.

as far as service rifle specs go 2-3 MOA is considered ok. DPMS rifles have a good reputation of being accurate out of the box. If you swap barrels, free float it, and get a good trigger under 1 MOA is very easily attainable out of large caliber AR platforms.

Back to your original Q. I believe that accuracy under 1 MOA with handholds will be achievable, if you can deal with a heavy trigger.
