Despite what everyone seems to think, the AR10/LR308 platform doesn't have to be a hog. With a little judicious part selection and a bit of research you can build a 6.1-6.2lb rifle without making any compromises. It can be low-recoil with an adjustable gas block and good brake.

I was in the same position as you a couple years ago and ended up just going with the Tromix upper and 8" barrel/bolt combo, after having owned a Wilson 458 upper.
No complaints really -- the quality is suitable for the price and the amount that I actually shoot a 458 socom. I haven't had any...
I owned a Tavor for a while -- although the balance and general 'handiness' were pretty good, it's still an 8lb 223/556 that shoots 2-4MOA.
For $1700 you can hand-pick every piece of an AR build and end up with a rifle that's way more accurate, nearly as reliable, 30-40% lighter, and has an...
I'm interested to see how 'conservatives' will react to calls for gun control from this perspective. "It's a matter of national security! Don't let terrorists get their hands on guns!" :banghead:
Business owners are perfectly capable of deciding what they would like to allow on their premises without the law defiling their property rights. Don't feel safe where people are having a few beers and carrying? Don't go. It seems that most anti-gunners and 'pro-gunners' start with the same...
I'm currently using CFE-Pistol, but have used mostly Titegroup and Bullseye in the past.
I realize that it would be difficult for me to find an acceptable powder that would overflow on a double charge -- and with the press being motorized, I'm not sure I could even visually catch a double...
I do have the RCBS Lockout die and that would be my first solution if I had the space for another die. Currently, I'm seating and crimping at separate stages, so perhaps I could grab a crimp seater die instead.
On a side note -- my progressive is powered by a stepper motor. Any idea how the...
Hi all -- I was at the range earlier today with a friend and witnessed a double charge. The magazine blew out of the bottom of the frame, the trigger was cracked, and the extractor snapped. Fortunately, no one was seriously injured.
This was startling, to say the least, and has made me...
I probably spend about $10k/year on guns/ammo/reloading -- but then I'll sell $5k of items from the previous years. I feel too guilty to continue spending money that way without selling something to recoup part of the cost.
Considering that you can buy a Vortex from between $100 and $2500, I'm not sure how anyone can conclude that it's just 'young people who think NC Star and Tasco are also great scopes.'
A $100 scope is a $100 scope, regardless of the manufacturer. However, I would assume that the lifetime...
Don't swear off gunbroker altogether -- I've probably made about 50 deals on the site, never had a problem. I guarantee I've saved many thousands of dollars in taxes and gun costs.
Sociopaths with guns -- plundering by the permission of an ignorant, wicked majority. If anyone should be restricted from owning firearms, it should be those in government who can 'legally' use force to gain what they desire from their neighbor.
Please, all-wise and almighty State, protect me from the immigrants to whom you granted a visa and the citizens you deem your enemy. Jefferson, S. Adams, Henry......all domestic terrorists and instigators who should have been denied a firearm.
