I have no interest in playing QC for Ruger. Y'all have at it.
Me too, tho 6.5 would be fine as well.....no interest in a .308 so id probably be swapping the barrel pretty quick if i were an early adopter.I'd like to see one in 6 Creed.
I’ve always thought a lightweight Lr-308/AR10 would make for a good 45 Raptor.
that means you gotta buy twoThe wife requested one as soon as I sent her the link.
Its not ambi. *I* don't need one. She'd asked me to build her a hunting rifle. This accomplishes that turn-key.that means you gotta buy two

Personally I’d go with the 16”. Once I installed an adjustable gas block on my Rogue, it became a reliable rifle.Strategy question, for mostly suppressed use, get the 16" MLGS and turn hope it will behave with the regulator turned down, or get the 20" RLGS and chop it to ~17"? Some folks on another forum brought up the second approach and I'm a bit intrigued, in general i've found suppressors to mix better with longer gas systems, but that's not a huge amount of dwell time.
I would never buy a “boutique” rifle in the AR-15 pattern. Because I want everything universal and part swap able. AR-10? Maybe because to my understanding there is no official pattern, just two manufacturers patterns. So a boutique AR-10 that actually takes some Mil-Spec Ar15 parts is a win.

I have very limited experience with the AR-10. A friend has one and one time he pulled it out and I took a few shots. It struck me as a very big and fairly heavy gun. The recoil was …well, you know you are shooting a big .30 cal battle rifle cartridge. (An old military man who was with us let me know in no uncertain terms that putting my left hand around the front of the mag was not accepted practice.)
Not sure I’d want something smaller and lighter on account of the round, yet smaller and lighter is good because the AR-10 definitely felt too big. I’ll look forward to reading some reports, I’m sure someone here will own one of these soon.
Usually the big heavy AR10's don't kick too bad. My M&P10 is around 8.5 lb scoped. It does not kick too bad. The two port brake will help a bunch.I have very limited experience with the AR-10.

I saw a guy with a full auto AR 10 in 308 with a short barrel let loose with the whole mag and I was stunned the barrel hardly moved. on you tube if you want to see it type in gunscom. windsor arms makes the rifle. it fires at 800 RPM. amazing videomore cool ruger 308s

I'm a huge fan of 30-06, so don't take this wrong, but the 308 isn't weaker than WW 2 30-06. It's a duplicate in performance. Knocking 3 lbs off the weight of a battle rifle is a great thing, and I want one. I want a garand too, no matter how much it weighs!M1 Garand weights nearly 10lbs and a slightly more powerful cartridge and you can shoot one of those all day long. To my limited understanding a built AR10 w/optic can easily surpass the 10lb mark with a slightly weaker cartridge. I think I want my AR10 as light as possible because I can always add weight. Scopes, lights, bi-pods etc.
