Madhouse Posted February 21, 2010 Report Posted February 21, 2010 Very nice setup! How do you like the performance?
imschur Posted February 21, 2010 Report Posted February 21, 2010 Nice bandit10-4!! Thanks for joining and posting.
bandit10-4 Posted February 22, 2010 Author Report Posted February 22, 2010 I picked up this DPMS LR308 with a 24" SS bull barrel, bone stock with 4 mags and under 200 rds down the pipe 2 weeks ago and all I can say is DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAUUUUUUUUMMMMMMMMMMM!!! This stick is a hammer! I am an avid benchrest shooter and love my bolt guns, I have put together several ar-15s for varmint/target shooting, and have had fun with them but never anything like this one. When I offered to trade for the rifle, i figured I would rebarrel it to a 6.5x47 Lapua or maybe a 260 and see what it would do, just because I havent ever been a big 30 fan, but not now, You couldnt pry this sucker away from me. When I got it home I gave it a good once over and cleaned the bore (po said it had been broken in sinclair method, I have no reason to doudt that) and it looked great, I bolted on a 4.5-14 Tactical Leupy that I had in the safe, and went out to wally world (small town) and picked up 2 boxes of $13 Federal 150gr psp. I am a reloader, but had no components and it was Sunday. I bore sighted it and after a 2 shot zero I sent five shots down range at under .5! I was very impressed to say the least. Since then I have started on some load development and I put a single stage JARD trigger in last night. (the factory trigger is pretty bad) I can't find anything this rifle doesnt like, it shoots everything. So far with a 150SMK and 43grs of Benchmark it is truly a LASER! It just stacks em as good as I can hold the rifle. I am hooked on this one and for the money I don't see how you can beat it.
bandit10-4 Posted February 25, 2010 Author Report Posted February 25, 2010 Thanks guys! The PRS is on its way too, I cant wait!
bandit10-4 Posted February 27, 2010 Author Report Posted February 27, 2010 I got the PRS today! Man this stock is awesome! It feels as good as it looks, and the adjustment wheels are solid and smooth, I can't wait to get out and shoot, looks like tomorrow will have to do...

98Z5V Posted February 27, 2010 Report Posted February 27, 2010 I put that stock on a 20" 5.56 precision gun, and just love the thing. You nailed it - solid adjustments, and it just plain works.
imschur Posted February 27, 2010 Report Posted February 27, 2010 I was quite amazed at the quality of the PRS. Did you end up getting it from Botach?
bandit10-4 Posted February 27, 2010 Author Report Posted February 27, 2010 HECK YEAH!!! BOTACH ROCKS!!! Im sorry for the sh__ty pics, I don't know whats up with my camera tonight ??? I will try to get out with her tomorrow and maybe try and snipe a pig, that would make a better pic foe shoe!
concretus Posted February 28, 2010 Report Posted February 28, 2010 That rifle looks sweet!!! Do you have a recipe for i65-175gs bullets???

Looks like we have another believer. :-)
babo Posted April 1, 2010 Report Posted April 1, 2010 Bandit,How high is that glass; scope center axis to barrel center axis? And how many clicks are you compensating for it?
bandit10-4 Posted April 15, 2010 Author Report Posted April 15, 2010 I will get back to you on those figures
bandit10-4 Posted February 16, 2011 Author Report Posted February 16, 2011 Well she's gettin a facelift... Took the upper to my Gunsmith for some ceracote and to get the barrel threaded for a can... Will update with pics when she gets home!

PantherPlayer Posted March 3, 2011 Report Posted March 3, 2011 How much did it cost you to get that barrel threaded and the thread saver to match??
