I'm not sure what "dryer " means but here's a comparison.... Edit: well that link didn't work but you can go here and compare any that you like.... http://www.federalpremium.com/products/rifle.aspx

Bumped (to get Bubba on a roll again) >:D

If you're set on building Wash is correct, start with a lower receiver, get a matched upper/lower set if you can swing it. I'm going to recommend the DPMS/SR25 pattern receivers only because they're easier to find parts for so here's a few to ponder...

It's about what I expected.....

Yep and this probably isn't their only military contract.... "In Feb of 2012 LWRCI signed a $109 million dollar 18 month contract with the Government of Saudi Arabia, sanctioned by the U.S. Department of State and U.S. Congress. This is the largest direct commercial to foreign government sale of firearms in the history of the ATF Exports Branch."

Yeah mine was $3300 there^^^ 2 years ago (20" model) A LGS wanted $4999.00 back then <laughs> Here's another http://www.northwesttactical.us.com/store/rifles-and-lower-receivers.html?color=17&manufacturer=23&price=4%2C1000 $3000.00 would be a steal :yup:

Love my LWRC REPR!! :banana:

NASTY >:D

Seekins introduced their new 308AR at shot show this year.Parts will come but it will be awhile <thumbsup>

Or buy the Geissele Hi Speed DMR to replace the SSA-E in my 308 & install the SSA-E in the mouse gun >:D

Definitely more money than brains.

Great info right there 98! I'll probably use that trigger in my AR15 build.

This cracks me up <laughs> http://i.imgur.com/VYtJ9.gif

That old design has it's place but I concur that they should also make a rail version! My next bipod will not be another Harris because of that exact reason.

Yes, 4" rail should be fine.

<laughs> Yes indeed!

Bump for a refresher.

Being from South Lousy-ana :P myself & knowing the type of extreme hunting conditions you're engaging in and I'm curious as to why you would rule out Stainless Steel ? Lothar Walther makes some of the best barrels on the market, getting one in a timely manner is another story ::) To my knowledge CMMG barrels are fine, I wouldn't own anything else they sell though. Lighter & shorter is definitely better for hog hunting with dogs! 308AR's range from 7-12 lbs. generally, mine is closer to the 11 lb. mark stripped and I wouldn't even consider bringing it hog hunting(w/dogs) The 8lb. range would be about the same as shooting your average scoped bolt action rifle. You could always buy a factory barrel like the dpms and try it out and if needed have it re contoured later by a smith.

GEISSELE Super Dynamic 3 Gun trigger

Yeah, it sounds like you want a 16" pencil profile barrel, I'm not sure who makes them but someone here may chime in soon. I think Wash is correct in that you may have to get one custom made. Mostly what I find are med. contour profiles. http://www.cmmginc.com/product_p/38dea7a.htm http://www.brownells.com/rifle-parts/barrel-parts/rifle-barrels/dpms-308-sportical-barrel-prod44673.aspx http://www.lothar-walther.com/473.php And then there's Carbon Fiber >:D > http://proofresearch.com/barrels/ http://www.christensenarms.com/products/barrels/
