EasyEJL Posted August 27, 2013 Report Share Posted August 27, 2013 So if I'm wanting to be something extra exotic on a DPMS LR308 platform, what other choices are vaguely reasonable? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blue109 Posted August 27, 2013 Report Share Posted August 27, 2013 Extra exotic or vaguely reasonable? Don't think they exist together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EasyEJL Posted August 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2013 well, lets say any other higher power calibers like maybe the 338 federal. doesn't have to be super exotic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikedaddyH Posted August 27, 2013 Report Share Posted August 27, 2013 325WSM ... That's what I would do ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
george_995 Posted August 27, 2013 Report Share Posted August 27, 2013 Not exotic, but I will likely go with a .243 upper build when I get the funds. That is if I can find a good barrel source? Have yet to look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tripledeuce Posted August 27, 2013 Report Share Posted August 27, 2013 I'm very happy with the 260 rem I built, and am in the process of building a 338 Federal for my wife. Respectfully Terry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magwa Posted August 28, 2013 Report Share Posted August 28, 2013 (edited) 308-6mm or 7mm o8 or the 284 win. all are great long range and both should work off the stock BCG Edited August 28, 2013 by Magwa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robocop1051 Posted August 28, 2013 Report Share Posted August 28, 2013 I say you be the first to make a 45-70 AR!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bubbasks Posted August 28, 2013 Report Share Posted August 28, 2013 I would kill for one in 7mm Rem Mag. I know they make 300 win mag and 338 LM but i think RM would be baaadddassss. If you havent noticed ita my all time favorite round. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tripledeuce Posted August 28, 2013 Report Share Posted August 28, 2013 In the end, I'll probably make the full line of 308 based uppers. I don't care for the 243, so I'll go to the 25 souper, I'v got the 260, then 7mm08, 308, and the 338-o8. Might even do the 6.5 creedmore..

EasyEJL Posted August 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2013 I say you be the first to make a 45-70 AR!!! that would be a fun one. Actually any straight walled rifle cartridge would be interesting and easy as crap to reload rapidly :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magwa Posted August 28, 2013 Report Share Posted August 28, 2013 284.win is a ass kicker might just be my next build... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robocop1051 Posted August 28, 2013 Report Share Posted August 28, 2013 I really wish those jackasses finished that 12g or 20g upper they were advertising. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EasyEJL Posted August 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2013 I really wish those jackasses finished that 12g or 20g upper they were advertising. no kidding, it would definitely be one of them then. The only one close uses their own custom 12ga cartridge which isn't something I want to get involved in. Plain old 2 3/4 inch shotgun shells will fit up the magwell....

Brushawg Posted August 31, 2013 Report Share Posted August 31, 2013 375 wsm. Plenty of good quality of bullets in that caliber, dies are available at a reasonable cost. Its not hard to resize 300 wsm brass. Exotic looks and performance at a working mans price! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robocop1051 Posted August 31, 2013 Report Share Posted August 31, 2013 I still say .416 proj's!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98Z5V Posted September 4, 2013 Report Share Posted September 4, 2013 I still say .416 proj's!! That's a loooong case, brother. That would have to be built off a 338 LM lower and upper. Buy a 338 LM Noreen. Get a bolt custom made. Get a barrel custom made. $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ :-[ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EasyEJL Posted September 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2013 nah, I'm trying to build exotic on the cheap :D with Shadow Ops doing the 308 lowers, soon uppers, bolt carriers and quad rail, I can get most of the components pretty cheap. So if I need to spend some extra on barrel and getting the bolt face remachined, that isn't too bad. The 338 federal seems like it should be simple to do to add some extra punch. I'd like to do something in a 50 cal, but for that its definitely going to require me finding a machinist to make the barrel (we're still not doing that, when we build a full rifle we use FN barrels) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
