Nice.
Mine groups about 0.50 MoA.
Bolt guns, while nice, are becoming obsolete.

Re: How's this for DPMS .308lr
When I see gas guns routinely winning benchrest matches I will accept that bolt guns are obsolete. Definitely can’t argue with how yours shoots though. You will have to show if you can get it tightened up anymore through load development. Good shooting.

You won't see that until they change the rules - Semi-autos are prohibited for use in BR comps. Maybe they are "afraid" of them?...

Pretty good, but you're about 1.25 minutes low and .75 minutes left. Better luck next time.

Re: How's this for DPMS .308lr
Mine does very well. Surprising for an out of the box stick-ESPECIALLY for a semi-auto. My load is Winchester brass,Fed210,42gr.RL15 and a 175SMK.

Same with me except 18" barrel.
I use 43.0 gr Varget with the A-max 168's. What powder / weight you using?
Or are you talking factory ammo?

Re: How's this for DPMS .308lr
Have you tried loading any of the 155 gr. Amax? Ny DPMS seems to like them pretty good also.

Re: How's this for DPMS .308lr
I need to get out and shoot my LR-308. I bought the thing last winter and have only put 50 rounds through it. On the other hand, I put hundreds through my bolt gun over the summer. I suck. But the DPMS did seem like it was going to have some promise of accuracy when I did shoot it.

Re: How's this for DPMS .308lr
I would very much like to see some groups from some of the DPMS gas guns from 300-500 yards using handloads or match ammo. I have been curious for a while about whether i need to own one of these guns or not. A buddy of mine tried one out prior to doing a trade deal on another rifle and had decent results at 100yds, but as they stretched it out to 300yds and beyond, the groups seemed to open up quite a bit and was shooting all over the place. Anyhow, hope some folks can share some long range results so as to help me make up my mind. Thanks Guys.

Not true anymore. The IBS has just included an AR class. Bring em out and show em off!

Re: How's this for DPMS .308lr
Has anyone have a trigger preference for the LR 308? My groups are hindered by the stock trigger.

Other than the effects of wind and mirage, I can't see any reason that a rifle that will shoot at 100 yards wouldn't shoot at 500 yards.
My 100 and 200 yards groups are exactly the same, measured in MoA.

Totally agree with this idea as the AR platform improves continuously. Why not have something like this gun or a REPR instead of a bolt to reach out touch your target.
I was also intrigued to read a review from the SHOT show presaging the demise of fixed 1X red dots because the 1-?X scopes are getting so much better as well.
Nice shooting.
