You came to the right place, I am an old shooter, M1, M14, Mini 14, .243, 3006 bolt action, but a "Newbe" at AR.308, I never cottoned to the Ar 15 peashooter and stuck with the Mini 14 .223 as my peashooter righr after my 10-22 Ruger. but the LR308 DPMS landed on my doorstep and has stuck, it is good as a factory in the box piece with a 4.5 X 19 scope and a new drop in 3# trigger and a couple of mods, nothing special made it a sweet reach out and touch something tool.
I am from Central Texas, and welcome you! but I can't spell schidt!, or so I've been toldt..
