Re: My First LR308 Build

LMAO!It's not attached, just used it for the sake of the picture. I've been trying to get rid of that thing for over a month now. I'm getting a 6-9" very soon.

Re: My First LR308 Build

With the higher railed upper, would I be better suited with rings or a low one piece mount? I'll be putting a TRS-1 on it until my Viper HS 5-15 arrives.

Re: My First LR308 Build

I had a Hi rise DPMS like yours and found that the medium height Burris Xtreme rings worked well.

Can't go wrong with a Larue mount

Re: My First LR308 Build

Nice job on the build. +1 for larue. I put a Larue SPR (lt104) on my DPMSLR308 and it works perfect with my nighforce 3.5-15x50. I'm also a fan of the QD system. Make it easy of taking it on and off.

Good Luck

great post

Re: My First LR308 Build

I've been looking at the LT104 pretty hard (DILLO DUST!) but I'm not completely sure I need QD capabilities. This rifle is going to stay scoped. As far as optics for closer in business, I have other options that are lighter than this pig! I've always been led to believe that the scope should be as close to the barrel without touching, so I'm a little concerned that something like a lt104 will position the scope too high above the bore. The PRS will make eye relief a non issue, I'm just concerned from the accuracy side of it. Thanks for the advice guys!

Re: My First LR308 Build

What are your thoughts on that handguard?

Any pictures of it from the top?

Re: My First LR308 Build

Nice looking rifle, I like the texture on the handguard. Does it actually provide a good bit of grip or mainly looks? Thanks!
