Well here we go...went with the Leupold IMS 1" mount it has 20 moa built in it. They say it can be used like a quick release mount. We'll find out. Is a good looking mount though. Drop

Had guy tell me one time that wrapping the barrel of a gun in snow camo tape changet the point of impact on his varmit gun

Guess I should have started here first. I am a new DPMS owner, I live in west central Illinois. Just got the itch to buy this gun. First assault type weapon I have owned. Love the reports I have read about the accuracy of it..Long range capabilities. I am a big fan of smokeless muzzle loaders and have built a couple on Savage actions and another Encore. These things shoot 2600 up to 3000 fps.Now I am interested in this DPs thing also..cant wait to start tinkering with it. So now that I have posted a couple times Thought maybe I should regain my manners and intro myself. Thanks for the replies thus far Drop

Thanks huys gonna lube her up well with clp this weekend and run a few patches down the bore . Then first part of the week hopefully off to the range.

Well I have it home. You guys are right it is heavy , but not enough to deter me from using it. I just got finished installing a Timney trigger in it. adjustable. Set at 4# from the factory. but crisp. might lighten it later on . I mounted a Leupold 3.5X10X40 on it for now...That also might change in the future. I used some high Warne rings I had here already... However I looked at the Leuold one piece mount and like it quite will. It has 20 MOA built in so that might be a plug. She looks kinda plain Jane compared to all the nice one's I see posted here. But I bet that changes too...Am going to get some ammo in a few days and am off work through the holidays starting Friday...going shooting! I will post when I do. Please feel free to chime in with any advice or warnings . Thanks Drop

Anybody here?

Just gotbconfirmed that my new lr308 is in. I am a warne ring and base fan however this my first tactical.type.rifle and would like advice as to what works best. I kno the warne stuff is heavy. I would also like to explore.the.option of quick release so i can use a longer range scope or. ..Pop an eotech on and off it as needed. Thanks all drop

;D WOOOHOOO ;D Just got a call from Cabelas . My gun is in...Gonna pay for it Friday and pick it up on Sat..... chomping at the bit. I have heard nothing but good things about the accuracy of this gun. I am sure it is gonna be heavy. But I see a Primos trigger stock tripod in my future..... Now tell me what I am going to want for this other than a new trigger..that is gonna be soon Yhanks Guys Drop

The place I ordered it from shows that one has been shipped to them. It hasnt arrived yet. If it doesnt get there then I will probably settle for the 18" But after reading this prior post I just might anty up for a new upper with a 20" heavy barrel....

Man finding one of these lr308 24" barrels is hard to do....Anybody here?

I prefer the lr 308 with the 24 inch barrel (I think) But at this time very hard to find. However my local dealer's dist has 37 of the lr308B... I wonder how the accuracy and handling of the lr308 is compared to the lr308B. Starting my homework. Any opinions? Thank You in advance Drop
