[QUOTE="Unofficial Gun Addict (UGA), post: 1018722, member: 81139"] I'll be straight and say though I had the same proposition as you suggested... It was actually for a 223 many years ago. I was steered towards the DPMS Sweet 16 which I've been amazed by. I was just out this last week checking some reloads vs American Eagle cheap 50gr varmint tipped ammo. My reloads were grouping about .56" @ 100 but the American eagle grouped crazy good... Nothing bigger than .40". Below is an image of the best group. [ATTACH]41441.vB[/ATTACH] Now ... You are probably thinking, "what's this got to do with my request for a 308?" Well... This last spring I started thinking about getting a high end AR10, but after looking around... I decided to go with another DPMS... a LR-308B. I was a little hesitant about it not having the forward assist, but then I got to thinking about how many thousands of rounds I've sent down my Sweet 16 and not once have I ever had to use it... So I took a chance on the LR-308B. I'm absolutely, 100% pleased with the results. I wish I had saved some targets to post, but that rifle shoots everything I've fed it at less than 1 moa, with most being less than 1/2 moa. My brother and I took 10 boxes of factory ammo and there wasn't anything it didn't shoot well. We took the last box of ammo and set up 20 clay pigeons out at 275 yards and broke 19 out of 20. we weren't even trying hard and We weren't even waiting for the barrel to cool..(This was from a bench with front rest and rear bag).

I also ordered a timney so that I could toss it in the day it arrived. It makes the rifle a dream to shoot and improves accuracy dramatically. The factory trigger had me throwing shots in the sweet 16... But you can see above what they can do with a decent trigger. Anyhow... I know DPMS isn't considered a tier 1 AR platform, but I've been stunned by what you get for the money. All, I have to say is wow... Go DPMS!!!
