Hi there!!
About 2 years ago I dropped around 4K on a custom made 18” 308 AR-10. While the gun has an awesome barrel on it and is crazy accurate, I have had the worst time getting it function reliable. From failure to feeds to failure to ejects to bullets getting stuck in what seems to be a tight chamber, I can’t get it to cycle reliably. Not sure if this is due to right tolerances or what. But after taking to the gunsmith a couple times I am contemplating moving on.
with that said, I generally use this rifle mainly for hunting deer/hogs/ varmints anywhere from 100-600 yards and shoot steel out to 900 just for fun. I also run it with an omega full time. I mostly
Value accuracy and the gun not being too heavy or unwieldy given I carry it around a ranch all day and in an out of vehicles. (And obviously want it to function reliably
I have looked at the DD5V3, LT PredatOBR, Wilson Combat and the JP LRP-07.
As ashamed as I am to say it I also value the “coolness factor” a lot and want the rifle to look good. For the reason (I know it’s stupid) but I really don’t care for the JP hand guards and wish you could change them out cause I find them not great looking.
So basically looking for something in 6.5 or 308. Around 16 or 18” and is a good blend of accuracy and weight/maneuverability.
(price isn’t the biggest concern)
would love to hear yalls recommendations or what you have and how you like it!
