toshu Posted August 17, 2011 Report Share Posted August 17, 2011 Hello everyone!!!a bit about me..Used to collect and shoot a lot, but for the last 10 years, did not touch a thing. last year had the opportunity to shoot the 6.5 EBR round/platform cold, and was hitting LaRue flip ups at 1250 yds. Hell, my wife, who has never shot, easily was hitting a gong at 500 yds.Soooo... I decided I "needed" a DPMS to see if I can start to reach out a bit.Bought a slightly used DPMS LR 308B. The barrel is chambered for 308. I have been breaking it in with 60 rounds of old Samson ammo and 20 rounds of Federal Gold.Mods so far.....The original owner had replaced the gas block with a low clearance unit, so I bought a DPMS rifle length FF handguard and just unscrewed the shorter carbine one and screwed on the longer one.Also installed a Magpul PRS stock and one of the DPMS pistol grips that come with the SASS.Finally, I also installed a RRA 2 stage trigger.I am shooting the gun with an old Tasco 3-9 scope on a cheap set of rings that add about 1/2in to the base. Oh..BTW the upper is the HIGH railed unit.Got other stuff planned and plan on asking for advice form you guys.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toshu Posted August 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2011 You are right, I need a good scope and mount. I have been breaking the gun in and just using the Tasco for now. One question that concerns me is can the HIGH upper handle a scope mount as WELL as flip up sites using even the PRS for a check weld????

toshu Posted August 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2011 Looking at that PEPR mount, if it was mounted on the HIGH DPMS upper, I cannot see how a set of flip up sights would work with it????Washguy, do you have the HIGH DPMS upper???

toshu Posted August 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2011 My current upper is this one except, as I mentioned, that the gas block is low now and a DPMS rifle length FF tube is over it. Has anyone successfully mounted a scope AND a set of flip up sights, using the PRS stock??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
washguy Posted August 19, 2011 Report Share Posted August 19, 2011 Yikes! thats the eos type of upper they offer in 223/556 didnt know you could get one in 308 ....nope the burris that I have would be waay to high! <thumbsup> Wash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JGshooter Posted August 20, 2011 Report Share Posted August 20, 2011 Sounds like a nice rig. I got that PERP mount on my Armalite, and love it.Welcome from Texas... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
