imschur Posted August 11, 2010 Report Share Posted August 11, 2010 Windham, ME - Bushmaster's offering of a 308 chambered carbine is another step in the continuing evolution of the AR platform and an exciting addition to the growing line of Bushmaster AR-15 style rifles. The Bushmaster 308 ORC (Optics Ready Carbine) in the venerable 308 Win chambering provides law enforcement agencies with additional firepower and longer range capabilities.The ORC comes from the factory with two ½-inch scope riser blocks for the shooter that wishes to mount an aftermarket optic to this 308 powerhouse. The riser blocks, which are mounted to the receiver length Picatinny optics rail, provide enough clearance above the upper receiver so the natural cheek weld aligns the shooter's eye directly behind his chosen optic.This heavy-hitting, mid-range carbine comes with midlength gas system and a milled gas block that is mounted to a heavy-profile, 16-inch 4150 Chrom-Moly Vanadium chrome lined barrel and chamber which is capped with an A2 style birdcage flash hider. The heavy oval hand guards are heat-shielded and a six-position telescoping stock gives up to 4 inches of adjustment for the length of pull.The Bushmaster 308 ORC is shipped with a lockable hard case, operator's safety manual, yellow safety block and black web sling. Bushmaster's one year warranty is included.

survivalshop Posted August 13, 2010 Report Share Posted August 13, 2010 Just another DPMS 308. I heard it has a chromed lined barrel ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryantowry_81 Posted September 29, 2010 Report Share Posted September 29, 2010 i actually purchased one of these at my local sportsmans wharehouse last weekend because it was red tagged for $750!! thing shoots great and reliably accurate. had a couple 1.5" groups at 100 yards with surplus british ammo. that is with the addition of a nikon monarch 4x12. only gripe is the gas block with there "milled" style, would be nicer with picitanny rail for backup irons to be mounted easier. just my opinion though.

98Z5V Posted September 30, 2010 Report Share Posted September 30, 2010 so you guys know I am not one of those I can hit a quarter at 2000 yards with one hand types....

ryantowry_81 Posted September 30, 2010 Report Share Posted September 30, 2010 You would be an AC-130 if you could do that... <lmao> <laughs>hahahaha who said i wasn't.....hahahawell here are some pics, sorry they are not too quality, just off of the Iphone.[img width=810 height=605]http://i344.photobucket.com/albums/p357/ryantowry_81/iphonepictures193.jpg[img width=810 height=605]http://i344.photobucket.com/albums/p357/ryantowry_81/iphonepictures192.jpg[img width=810 height=605]http://i344.photobucket.com/albums/p357/ryantowry_81/iphonepictures191.jpg[img width=810 height=605]http://i344.photobucket.com/albums/p357/ryantowry_81/iphonepictures190.jpg[img width=810 height=605]http://i344.photobucket.com/albums/p357/ryantowry_81/iphonepictures189.jpgyou can see i already added a houge and went to the local shop an dpicked up a foctory DPMS mag he had laying around for 20 bucks and a beer(long story)plans so far are a FSC30 break and a bipod and then go see what i can kill with it be it targets or coyotes/bear/moose/sheep/liberals......i will get some grouping pictures with some factory stuff here soon and hopefully over winter with some hand loads.on another note i am a rookie when it comes to black rifles as this is my first to own but i have shot my fair share and this gun has a very nice trigger for a 800 dollar bushmaster, by that it is very crisp with little to no noticeable creep and was half the weight of both of my friends stock RRA and stag ar-15 triggers. i was expecting soemthing alot more like my polytech m-14 trigger not something as nice as came in this bushmaster.i know i would get stoned in some circles for this statement but i am actually selling the m-14 in favor of this gun..........i mean it is lighter, shorter, more accurate, mags are the same price and size, and there are more parts and options available for modification. i mean as a hunter the length and weight is the biggest selling point especially for my wife, she liked shooting this alot better than the m-14.

Ranger_Edge Posted November 11, 2010 Report Share Posted November 11, 2010 You shouldn't get stoned...I did the same I traded my M14 for my DPMS 308 and don't regret it one bit ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryantowry_81 Posted November 11, 2010 Report Share Posted November 11, 2010 I am glad i am not the only one that prizes weight and accuracy over the fact that it is a newer design. I have actually had a couple die hard m14 guys shoot my rifle since getting it and they have all been shocked by the weight ease of shooting and accuracy mine has compared to the 21" rm14 and the socom. My rifle has out shot both ( non national match models to be fair) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
