New DPMS Panther LR308 purchase.

[Scratcha]

Hey Everyone,

I'm a brand new member to the site. I just purchased a DPMS Panther LR308; I haven't broke-in the rifle yet.

I wanted to get everyone's opinions, on things I need to check, or adjust on the rifle, since I am brand new to the AR platform.

Thanks for any input

#1. Rather than do things the hard way like I did, complete your break-in with a single box of this ammo.

#2. The 4.5 lb trigger that the rifle ships with isn't going to do you any favors at significant range. I have both Jard and JP triggers on my LR-308's and both are excellent. The JP is crisp and breaks like glass, the Jard is smooth as silk and light as a feather. Both are significantly lighter and better than the stock trigger.

#3. My LR's love match ammo, have shot Hornady A-MAX, Federal Gold Medal Match, and handloads all @ 168gr with sub-moa results. You want accurate buy match or handloads.

#4. Post pics of everything, we can't get enough gun pics.
