I didn't even think to mention it but you can have your cake and eat it too. There are 2 companies building proprietary AR's chambered in 308 that are near as makes no difference the same size and weight as an AR15

I have handled the DPMS and I must say if someone handed me one in the dark I don't think I could tell that I wasn't holding an AR15. They are quite reasonably priced too. Only downside really is that they are limited in aftermarket support since they are largely proprietary. I am hoping and praying that the aftermarket picks this up and starts to standardize it. I want one in 338 federal.
Isn’t Aero also making DPMS-GII pattern components now too?
I think it’s coming. It would be fantastic if the non-standardized LFAR world would stack hands on the DPMS-GII pattern. The excess weight of AR-10/LR-308’s is a very common complaint.
