Some of the posted groups from the Recon model have me scratching my head regards accuracy.

you eat more pork chops than anyone else I have ever spoke with. One thing about DPMS, they answer the phone and a human speaks to you....

Yarkk...

I just assumed it would be OK in that department. Time will tell.

I am looking at the recon model as well. I have never owned an AR10 before because they have always felt a bit cumbersome. Post up reviews and groups when you early adopters can.

I only have 100rnds through it but discounting a few short stroke while getting the gas port sized right it has functioned perfectly.

Shoots pretty good to with factory Hor Match 168gr AMAX.

I never could like the full sized AR-10s but this gun handles really well and fits the .308 sized rounds much better. I have some 6.5 blanks rifled and plan on a 6.5 Creedmoor with a fluted 22 inch barrel.

The .338 Federal with a light 16 or 18 inch barrel would also be an interesting thumper. grin


Mr. Burns,

Are you still doing R&D with these two rifles? Round count by now? Any more commentary you might like to pass along?

I missed that.

Jimmy, you sent yours back and got your money back... right?

What about reliable magazines? Does anyone shooting the DPMS GII have any issues with certain brands of magazines, particularly with the Lite Hunter in .243?

And also regarding the LH in .243, does the rifle cycle factory ammo and published handloads reliably? Or will a guy have to upgrade to an adjustable block?

And lastly, for casual shooting and mid-range hunting, are you happy with the DPMS trigger?

I'm starting up a serious craving for a DPMS Lite Hunter in .243. I never thought I'd see the day that a big AR factory rifle would come in at 8 lbs. Now, that's a game changer!

I was hoarding when hoarding wasn't cool.

I take it by your silence that no one has any experience with the new DPMS in .243. Can this be true?
