WiDeerHunter Posted November 21, 2017 Report Share Posted November 21, 2017 Hi guys new 308ar.com. I'm a heavy equipment operator from Wisconsin 47 years old married. love deer hunting own my own land and hunt on it longest shot I can take his 125 yards but planning on doing hog hunting in the future down south somewhere. I am looking at building a 308 AR for deer hunting and hog hunting the gun is going to be primarily used by the wife for deer hunting I just want to know is it possible to make a reliable accurate 308 with scope and 5 rounds in a MAG under 9 pounds if so does anybody have a list of parts or am I just better off spending a lot of money and get a gun already built from one of the higher end manufacturer. I customize my Remington 870 for turkey hunting and had an absolute blast doing it spent too much money but I'll have it forever so why not. my budget for this build would be right around 2 Grand without Optics.

edgecrusher Posted November 22, 2017 Report Share Posted November 22, 2017 You can, but your brudget may be stretched. It’s easily possible though with time and no set budget (spread out purchases) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sisco Posted November 22, 2017 Report Share Posted November 22, 2017 (edited) Welcome from up north. For hunting you can go with a light barrel which will take a bit of weight off. Might not be as accurate for the third or fouth shot but for hunting that isn’t an issue. This might be a place to start, or even end. http://dpms-gii.com/full.html#configurations Edited November 22, 2017 by Sisco Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With iron sights, easily. My 16" TNArms lower/Aero upper is right at 7lbs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
