Sigh. I wish I could shoot half-MOA all the time at 500 yards with my .308 match rifle. I would be winning all kinds of matches and setting records.

but until now the 24" DPMS has done fine achieving half-minute groups. I'm throwing the bullschit flag on that.
I should have just
bought a [bleep] T3...

Crap, and I was just thinking I should use a DPMS instead of my my rifle. So much for those plans.

Denys You are getting confused again.. he said the gun could shoot the group, not that he could. Grins on that one. And big difference there unfortunately... everytime you put me in the formula accuracy gets worse... grins.
We can keep Larry Root and all his idiotic blabber and user names on here, but we can't get Ralph back..... Whiskey Tango Foxtrot, over....

Thanks for setting me straight, here I was thinking the gun had magical capabilities and would help my shooting.

once i found the load my dpms lr-308 with s.s 24" fluted barrel liked. it will shoot 1/2" groups.
gong plates out to 800 yards is a simple task. i took some guys from work a few weeks back, and everyone of them was hitting it.
one guy liked my lr so much he went and bought one. he couldn't wait for a fluted one to show up, so he bought just the straight 24" s.s. bull barrel.
he got it last week, and loves it.

I'm not familiar with the AR-15 platform. But, before they triple in price I want to purchase a .308 on the AR platform...like the AR-10.
I want the longest, heaviest barrel I can get, and top notch components to complete the rifle. IOW, I want a tack-driving .308 built on the AR platform. Money is no object; I'm prepared to spend what I need to spend to get the very best rifle I can possibly get.
Any and all help will be greatly appreciated. Look up Newtown Firearms in Placerville, they are making possibly the best AR on the planet. They machine the whole assembly out of billet material. Lots of government snipers using them. They'll guarantee something like a 2" group at 600 yds.
The major difference between belief and fact is those who believe something have come to a conclusion no facts will contradict. Well informed people are open to new facts that oppose their beliefs. That also defines an open and closed mind.

Maybe I looked at the wrong site but I only saw sub moa guarantee, a polished sear and hammer with JP springs or a Timney trigger, billet upper and lower, a piston system, 1/9 twisted barrels, a heavy "match" carrier and fitted Les Baer bolts and barrel extensions. No mention of who's barrels they are using.
Nothing to write home about and a lot that I don't want in an AR.
