308AR is a big boy rifle - I like the idea of making them run - and turning cover into concealment. I had to look at some of the more pricey options, knowing that I'm a lot more likely to get something for < $100. It does make sense to get equipment better than my eyes and my skills - but I don't have to go far to get there... I've given myself two rounds of obsession over this already. Burris Signature rings would give me some amusing trig problems to work on, but I really want to shoot better consistently so it would be a diversion (I don't think I need to add or subtract 40+ MOA in the mount to make my shots work). In the next round, I had to know about LaRue, ADM and Bobro and I eventually found some test results on RTZ - all of those and a couple of others performed well on the test. I've seen a bunch of yt vids on mounting and LR shooting. I just ordered and Aero Precision ultralight mount for the Burris scope. I expect it won't be the last. I was pretty close to pulling the trigger on a LaRue, then I noticed I'm not the only one here who wants things. So I think there is one of those in the future for me. Also a barrel upgrade, when I can shoot a little better than my 16" DPMS. Thanks a=for all the ideas and facts. I admit I was completely scared off of the PEPR. If it ever gets warm enough - I'll go out and shoot .

and aero precision... (for some reason, I have a bias toward them, probably from watching a lot of youtube videos - a questionable application of technology) T

my list grew - not a bad ting - I can think about a few things while I play around with this idea: Burris XTR rings Warne QD rings ADM Leapers POI rings RRA one piece Nikon M series Vortex (how'd they get in there again?) More to learn. I'll thank you alll again and will post some range result. I'm still just getting used to the Larue trigger and that so far has been a good experience, which is what brought me back to the vision part of this. Liberty or Death Rich

thanks for telling me about the PEPR issues, I will avoid that. I guess there are a few rings to look at.

I'm going to look at all those rings and a couple of others that were identified here. Thanks. I'm not happy if I don't have a problem (the nature of an engineer I guess), so I am happy to have a few things to examine and think about...

I am starting to improve my DPMS Oracle for mostly target shooting. I plan to shoot 300 yards in the spring but whatever shooting I do between now and then will be mostly imited to 100 - 200 yards. I have a good trigger now and with a little more than 100 rounds with that, I amd about to improve my sighhting with a Burris 3-9x Fullfield E1. (ballistic plex reticle). Thinkingand reading here about mounts and rings, I think it comes down to three choices: - Burris PEPR mount - Aero Precsion SPR mount - Burrs XTR rings I have an set of Hawke rings right now (which are a little high) and I will set the the scope up with those to get some practice and first impressions. I've been reading here to see what you guys have been using and talking about. The mounts I'm looking at are all within my budget, saving some for a nice barrel project later this winter, or possibly reloading. Anybody have an opinion about these mounts for my rifle/situation? Thanks, Rich Liberty or Death

thanks, I was beginning to wonder about that, or had I wandered into a group recently 'educated'. I feel better now :).

The way this works is: 1) poop show - massive MSM media campaign against evils guns 2) between independent investigators publicizing what they learn and nut jobs posting insane and unrealistic theories, coreqatnfusion and lack of clarity creates a soupy mix - throiugh which nobody can discern the truth 3) people forget as the president or some hollywood big grabs a girl's ass and teh news ceaselessly bombards us with teh horror of grab-ass. 4) we move on to new tragedies with more senseless and stupefying laws on the books. 5) more nonsense and social justice inanity 6) Rich learns to reload his own...

Playing guitar - mostly old jazz standards. Fishing as much as I can, in teh small ponds around here and to the west and as oftens as possinl;e, in RI at Block Island for striped bass, tuna bonito, sharks - any willing predators.) With winter, almost nothing but playing guitar.

Why would you suppose that such a search is constitutional?

Spinelessness is fashionable in merry old England. I don't think they ever fully recovered from the beatings they took over here.

Now that I have it, I can (even comparing it in the test block to the GI trigger) appreciate the difference in pull and amount of travel. It's also a good introduction to working on these rifles (other than changing furnitue) - yeah I will find a way to get out with it before turkey day... even if it's cold.

LaRued at last. Won't be able to shoot until after t-day - Rats!

whoa - I don't know how I missed that, probably just got tired of seeing the same price everywhere I looked for a day or two. Still looking forward to the LaRue. I didn't see much at all today at the gun show, more collectibles I think than shooters stuff, although there were some. I found one FCG kit other than OEM replacement parts - not much to miss there. practicing imaginary trigger pulls...

"Timken is a bearing company, Timney is the trigger company " Yeah, I don't know where that came from. I have Timney bookmarked.\I bought a LaRue trigger because everything I read about them is positive and it's a little less (about 115) less than the Geissele - which seems like a unanymous recommendation in this thread. After talking with a few shooters at the club, I'm really leaning toward reloading as teh next step and then in getting used to the trigger when it starts to warm up again. It's already a little cold for me. Thanks for the ideas.
