CMMG Wasp 308

[Double L]

Anybody tried one of the CMMG Wasp Rifles in 308?

I'm thinking about trying an auto gun in 308. I shoot tactical bolt guns primarily so I am accuracy sensitive. I really don't want to jack with building one.. just want to take it out of the box, scope it and tune it a little bit and shoot it.

Most shooting will be 400 to 1000 yd...

Will certianly listen to alternative ideas from you guys that shoot gas guns... I just liked the look and feel of this rifle, it's very similar to my AR 223 that I built.

if you want the best get a GAP-10, you wont regret it.

I was wondering about this rifle as well? I would love to have a GAP 10 but it's $1100 more than the CMMG WASP. This would be my first .308 rifle that I want to use for hogs and maybe a little target shooting but nothing past 600 yards.

Anyone own or shot one?

I'd go with a DPMS if you are looking for a cost effective gun.
I know those work well, but I haven't heard much about the CMMG.
I'm sure it will run ok as well.

I've been looking at those as well. I'm new to the .308 AR platform, so I'm still trying to learn what brand is compatiable with each other but I will look at the DPMS rifles as well.

I own a CMMG .308 18 inch with a Weaver 3-15x50 and I was more then happy with the .59 to .76 groups at 100 yards and flawless fit and finish . It is 100% relieable . I have shot it at 300 yards in the desert prone with a Harris bipod and got .85 to 1 moa groups with Fed Gold Medal match 168 and my Amax 168 hand load . If I had better eyes ( I'm 60 ) and a good solid bench with bags it might be better. I wanted a Larue OBR and S&B ,but my money is funny these days . This rifle keeps up with my Armalite T10 20 inch. For the money it's a great rifle . I dad a DPMS 4 years ago and it was a dissapointment in accuracy and function .

Re: CMMG Wasp 308

Thanks guys!

tsavo...I did the CDNN search and found some additional information.

GONIF...thanks for the review. I'm sure this rifle will be a good rifle for me to get started on. Like I mentioned earlier, it will be my first .308 rifle and I won't be shooting past 600 yards.

I would love to have a Larue OBR or a GAP 10 but that will be some time down the road!

Re: CMMG Wasp 308

Thanks for all the imput. I'm gonna look at the GAP and the CMMG...when I spring for one I'll give you guys a report on what I buy. I have to admit I like what GONIF has to say about his WASP.. sounds like a good shooter. Double L
