Hi all, looking for some help; I'm building an AR10 with a full length top rail system, but I'm having trouble picking scope ring height. The scope I plan on running is a Vortex 6-24x50 Diamondback with a 30mm tube. What are the "best" scope rings/height for a scope like that, while keeping an "As low as possible" goal? Thank you

That’s super helpful, thank you! I have everything sorted out other than the gas system. But you just answered my most frustrating questions. Thank you for correcting my terminology too. I plan on having a mix of the two then; PRI hand guard, gas block/front sight, PRI top rail, 18” barrel, and I’m assuming when you say “Rifle Length” you mean a 12”(ish) hand guard?

This is what I plan on building, but in a 308 format. I guess another question would be is, do the 5.56 version and 308 version have the same length gas system? I’ve looked at Douglas barrels, because that is what PR inc. uses, but I do not see a 308 barrel below 20” in length.

That’s a great idea, thank you!

Hey everyone, I’ll start with a little warning; I’m not only new to this site, but I’ve just started my very first gun build. I’m not new to the hobby, just new to the building portion. I plan on building an LR-308. I have everything planned out except that I need some help on the barrel, gas system, and hand guard length. I’ve decided to go with the Precision Reflex hand guard, as well as their gas block/front sight. The confusion I am having is on how long my hand guard and gas system be? I would like to go with an 18” barrel. So would that be “Rifle Length”? And if so, would the hand guard need to be 15” or 14” in length? PR carries both. Thank you everyone! Hopefully it’s not confusing. P.S: Any recommendations on barrel model/brand, maybe even twist rate, would be much appreciated. I plan on using this rifle for target/long range.
