Re: looking to buy a AR-10 style tactical precession.
What is your budget? There are countless options ranging from 1-$3000+. Do you want something now or are you willing to wait? If you look around you'll find DPMS, LMT, REPR's, Knights, etc in stock. JP's and GAP's have a 3-5+ month build time but are about as accurate as they come. I have a JP LRP-07 and its far more accurate than I can shoot it. I know because I occasionally shoot it well accidentally. Most of the current AR10's on the market are as accurate as most would ever need.

Re: looking to buy a AR-10 style tactical precession.
2k-2.5k id like to get in to it. i thought about buying a DPMS sportical from wallmart, ordering gaspiston system, 20 inch barrel and carbon-fiber hand rail with a prs stock and selling the left-over parts. but open to options.
i realy wat a SASS or a OBR
the reason for this is because i cant find a system that i dont have to wait 4 months for.

If you want a piston system the LWRC REPR is nice and would fit the budget. That is unless the 2-2.5k includes your scope. If so, get the DPMS 3G1. Comes standard with a JP Trigger and handguard for around 1700 I think.

Re: looking to buy a AR-10 style tactical precession.
It's a little over your budget, but it is a SASS and it does use PMAGs http://www.armalite.com/ItemForm.aspx?it...13-83959df8252d

Call these guys in PA http://www.snipercountrypx.com/pc-6453-1...n-mags-308.aspx They may have one in stock, a bit cheaper than suggested retail. They can transfer them to FL or GA.

Stripped lower
SASS upper
Buy an LPK, better trigger, and stock of your own choice. If you want a .308 piston rifle to begin, I think you'd be better off buying one like POF or LWRC.

If you read the link, it's the new series of Armalite AR10 that does use the SR25/DPMS pattern mags which includes PMAGS. Here's the link to the rifle on Armalites website. It actually ships with a PMAG http://www.armalite.com/ItemForm.aspx?it...13-83959df8252d

Why are you limiting your choices to platforms that take P-Mags? B/C you have 5ea P-mags? Makes no sense. If you get something else, sell your P-mags.
Many platforms accept P-mags but Armalite and Noveske are quality also and Armalite will fit nicely into your price range. I have Armalite, JP and LaRue large platform gas guns and all outshoot me.
When you get your rig you'll need many other things like bipod, optics, ammo etc etc etc. Don't limit your choices b/c you happen to have 5 P-mags.

i did not see that., and to the pmag referance about limmiting my options, i agree, but my ar have pmags and i just want to keep it all the same. i mean if their was a way better shooter that any other and it didnt use pmags, but most if done correctly and trigger of good salt.

Then pony up the money and wait for one or look around and find a deal on a new or used one they are out there. DPMS SASS isn't a bad rifle I had one just too heavy and the muzzle velocity was a bit lacking.
If you want to build one yourself there are tons of options. I have been thinking about
Mega upper + lower receiver set = 600
Brux or Rainier Ultramatch Barrel = 400-460
DPMS BCG (maybe with JP bolt) = 200-250
PRI handguard = 330
I have an A2 stock and geisselle trigger sitting here

Re: looking to buy a AR-10 style tactical precession.
BCP,
I have the exactly the rifle you just mentioned with the following exceptions:
1. DPMS upper+ Lower = $485
2. Bartlein Barrel = $550
3. DD 12" Lite rail = $324
4. Geissele trigger = $269
5. JP enhanced bolt + Young MFG BCG = $490
6. DPMS lower parts kit = $60
All other components i had on hand...then add about $50-$70 in shipping costs and another $150 in smithing fees and Voila...pics up soon.
Basically, I built an M110 clone for highpower service rifle competitions for about a third of KAC charges the Military.

Re: looking to buy a AR-10 style tactical precession.
GAP10
LMT MWS
larue OBR
JP rifles
end of discussion
if you have to have gas piston then POF and LWRC aren't bad. but i would stick with the top 4. GAP 10 being first for precision

Re: looking to buy a AR-10 style tactical precession.
it would be so much easier if my bolt gun would sell, cant get the gun till that gone, i have a 2 of them 1 needs to go. the other just a ACC-sd in a chote stock but still shoots as good

Re: looking to buy a AR-10 style tactical precession.
Where would one go to source parts for a custom build? I want to build mine on a MATEN matched upper/lower ambi set, match barrel 18"-20", and a quality trigger. What are the pros/cons of the BCGs by manufacturer?
Ideally, this would be a gun I can use for precision shooting out to... let's say 700 yards, and could also use for wild boars (if I ever find any).

Re: looking to buy a AR-10 style tactical precession.
Precession: a change in the orientation of the rotational axis of a rotating body. It can be defined as a change in direction of the rotation axis in which the second Euler angle (nutation) is constant. In physics, there are two types of precession: torque-free and torque-induced.
The suggestions mentioned thus far may not be true Precession rifles.

Look at Noveske but they are not making any 308 at this time.

Re: looking to buy a AR-10 style tactical precession.
I was thinking more along the lines of where to buy the parts? Recommendations for store sites that have good prices or discounts available.
I've decided on a matched MATEN upper/lower ambi kit. Maybe a Bartlein or a Rainier Arms ultra match barrel, 20", a Geissele trigger from the group buy, and not quite sure yet what BCG to go with.
