Hey fellas,
My friend is getting into shooting at longer ranges after getting some trigger time on my. 308. He has made the decision to go with a semi-auto platform instead of a bolt action. I've got a very good knowledge base on bolt guns but ar-10's are not my strong points. I've been researching them pretty extensively trying to get him the best bang for his Buck. In my research I've found most reviews on dpms ranging from "I'd only use it as a boat anchor" to "it is the most accurate gas gun I've ever shot".
Rock rivers down fall appears to be the magazines since they use fal mags. Are their companies producing quality fal mags?
I know nothing about armalites ar-10 except all the stuff reads buy it because they made it first. This statement means nothing to me in terms of accuracy and durability.
He said he only wants to spend about $1500.00 on the rifle. He fell in love with my nightforce and plans on putting an identical one atop his rifle. Also will need a good 20MOA base. Open to all assistance. He doesn't care what name is stamped on the lower as long as the rifle will shoot. I'd like to get him a rifle capable of 3/4 moa. This is better than he can shoot at the moment but as he improves I don't want him to suffer.
Hope we get some good info ty in advance.
