Just purchased a DPMS LR-308. I love it. Less felt recoil (for me) than M1A, feels better, and shooting 2 inch groups at 100yds with irons. Also, props to DPMS for selling the carbine with 2 mags, cleaning kit (doesn't fit attachments though), and sling. Here's a pic: Yes, I know it's a 16" and I'll lose some velocity (no flame please), it's what I wanted. I have a bolt gun for farther out. I have some questions for you guys: 1. Could someone point me in the direction of the best deal they've found on magazines for the DPMS LR-308? I need more. 2. I was thinking about a couple of 10 rd mags too. Are they running okay for everyone? 3. I can get 20 rds of 150grn soft tip Federal at Wal-Mart for plinking for $12.50. Will shooting my 6.8 ever be that inexpensive? 4. I kind of miss the carry handle / real site profile. Will a standard AR15 rear handle / site fit? Thanks in advance. |

1. I got mags on sale a few months back from midwayusa.com (currently out of stock on 19 rounders) 2. 10 rounders are all I use (California) and they run fine. 3. Learn to reload. You'll have higher quality ammo and more of it for the same price as store-bought stuff. 4. The elevation markings for .223 will not track with 308 ballistics. I'd save up for an AR-10 carry handle from Armalite. You can occasionally find them on the Equipment Exchange. |
