I've owned in the past a RRA LAR8 Elite operator 308, DPMS LR-308 and a partially built Aero M5 308. All of them were good rifles except the Rock River which I had difficulty getting good groups with until I found Winchester 168gr Match. The other rifles would group cheaper 150gr corelock and Federal non typical 150gr within 1 to 1.5 inches.
Anyway I always end up selling my AR-10's for one reason or another. Mostly because friends want to buy them and I usually hook them up.
Now I want to buy "MY" last AR-10. A factory built rifle. No more sub $1,500 guns. My budget would be about 4k for the rifle itself.
Rifles I am heavily consideringare LWRC REPR, Daniel Defense not sure which DDM5?, Knights Armament SR-25, Scar 20 (I know not an "AR") POF and Larue. Maybe a Barrett Rec 10. I'm looking at 20" barrel in all of them.
My plan is to have a mid to long range DMR. Typical shooting distance from 200- 500. Rapid engagement. I can push to 1000 out at the ranch if I hike to a hill top. Off a rest or bipod so it Doesn't need to be the lightest thing. I will be shooting pigs with this as well, but mostly steel. I want a 308. I don't care if 6.5 shoots flatter. I already have 308 ammo, mags. Speaking of mags. I want it to use the SR-25/DMPS pattern.
Does anyone here have a lot of experience with one or multiples of the higher end rifles in 308? I want moa or better accuracy with 150 gr projectiles. I managed to get that from my DPMS. Not like standard ball ammo, but good hunting ammo. I'm hoping for even better with match grade/ reloads.
Also DI vs Piston? Don't have a suppressor, but that may come later.
Also I'm left handed. For this reason the LWRC is at the top of my list, because I love their lower set up.
What I'm looking for is the last 308 I'll ever buy. The best of the best. The one I will finally keep forever and be buried with. I can stretch my budget if needed, but I figure 4k should get me in the range or well above for some of these rifles.
Thoughts or recommendations? Besides telling me to buy a Bolt action.
