DPMS .308

Do you own one. What kind? Group shots at 100 yards+. Let me know.

From what I have heard... the DPMS in 308 is a fantastic gun for a simi. It groups great at 100 yards within 1/2" groups or better. I'm sold on this gun and will buy it.. shoot it, and then I will personally let you know more about it.

< lr308t, burris fullfield 2 scope, usually half inch groups with decent ammo, my favorite rifle out of 9. get yourself one while you can, i have to say mags are usually pricey but i go to 44mag and they around 30 wich isnt as bad

my only con is the trigger, it is a bit stiff. i plan on getting a new trigger but the only one ive really had a chance to look at is the timney drop in ar10 trigger wich is like a million dollars ( like around 180$)

I have one only had the opportunity to shoot once so far and I was at a 200 yard range. I made the mistake of not bore sighting it before I went. I started with magtech ammo which I don't think is to good, as the rounds that were on target were 'key-holing". Next time to the range I will be using good ammo and I will purchase a spotting scope so I can see what is going on. I plan on buying a good trigger for it as well as a magpul stock.

Also, what are your thoughts for a decent scope (400 yard capability) without breaking the bank ?

As for a decent scope I like the $299 Super Sniper scopes you can get them in 10 or 16 0r 20 power same price or you can get a 10x with side focus for $399

I get good results with the cheap centerpionts from walmart. The one I got was a 4x16x50 Illuminated mildot red or green adjustable objective and rings. Its about 70 bucks. I bought it for my sons 22 but tried it on my LR and it is still there. Its cheap but does a good job if your not an optics snob. It does lose clarity when you need it most at high magnifications and is eye position sensitive. But for plinking off a rest it is just fine out to 300yards. I have not tried it past that yet.
I posted this already but here it is. The rifle is capable I am not.
