Willwatkins83 Posted February 6, 2013 Report Share Posted February 6, 2013 Hello everyone, i am new to the AR world and just recently purchaced a bushmaster .308 orc. I have fired it three times to sight in a red dot that is temporary. Im looking to build a universal rifle to take hunting, hogs etc. As well as a short and long range tactical weapon. By long range i mean 600 yrds as i wont get anything that far in east texas. So far im looking at a Troy battlefied rail 13.8 if it clears my gas block, im thinking of a nikon 308 which is still out of my price range right now but i know with optics you get what you pay for. was also thinking of running 45 degree iron sights just not sure how comfortable hey are to shoot with a 308. I want to do a trigger but not sure which one, or stay with factory stock. There are too many options and i am lost and need direction. thanks for any and all help.

Willwatkins83 Posted February 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2013 Was also wondering how hard it is to complete a 80% lower? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guill732 Posted February 7, 2013 Report Share Posted February 7, 2013 Sign up on weaponsguild.com and go to the AR builds section. A guy there shows how to complete an 80% lower with just a drill press. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
