Hey All , I dont troll her much , but I thought I would get more feedback here at High Road than my usual haunts . I am in the market for a reach out rifle . I started looking at some nice bolt guns such as the Tikka T3 in Tac , Rem 700 Tac and so forth . I was at a local gun shop talking about my needs and fondling a few prospects when the owner started singing the praises of the DPMS LR308 and how they are as accurate and most bolt guns in 308 . I'm really not a black gun kind of guy , so I handled it , played with it for a few and moved on . After coming home I did a little more research and was VERY surprised by all of the comments and reviews that I found on line about this firearm . Seems like the prices of black guns haave really come back into line . Needless to say I sold myself on one of these , and before I toss the greenbacks down on one , I was wondering about a few of the options available .
First off and my most important question , Is the 24 inch barrel any more accurate than the 18 . Weight is not a real issue as it will be a bench / target gun , but if i dont need that extra wight than why . I figure the extra 6 inches will get me a little more speed , as possibly a little less recoil but I am more concerned with MOA , and I will be reloading . Will both shoot to 600 ? What about 1000 ?
Is the A3 receiver a worth while upgrade and why ?
It is my understanding , that any AR trigger will work , is that correct ? Stock trigger feels like poop on the one I played with , gonna need some work for sure .
Fluting is not really necessary , but what about the brake , is that worth the extra dough ?
Thanks
