Re: New Guy with a new .308

thanks so much. i am a knife maker by trade, but i do love me some good rifles. this is the first .308 in a long time. it is my favorite round, i should be ashamed for waiting so long.

Good looking rig....niice choice of putting the Triijicon scope on top. Now go get some ammo and tell us how it does out on the range.

Welcome to the Hide.

You'll like the Oracle. I just got one as well. The only upgrades I've done so far are an adjustable gas block and replacement railed hand guard. It's a shooter.
 
Re: New Guy with a new .308

thanks, i have heard that it is a good idea to upgrade the extractor with a stronger spring and possibly an o-ring. any truth to that? i haven't had any troubles with feed or function.

Re: New Guy with a new .308

there is a pretty big shop here in AL that is a DPMS dealer. they just happened to be having a weekend sale when i dropped by a month or so ago. i would have preferred a mid-length gas system, but i could not leave the Oracle on the shelf at that price.
