Here is a 5 shot group from today wind was much calmer on this group, i blew the 3rd shot (my fault,stupid trigger) thats the biggest down fall to this rifle, 4 shots in less than .5moa, new trigger here i come, this group shot with 168grain smk's

Re: My new rig! pics

as my grandpa would say, "Dog my cat!" That's yet another horrible looking rifle. You should break it down into components and send them to me so you don't have to worry yourself with the sight of such an ugly beast.

Re: My new rig! pics

Very nice. My custom DPMS with bull-Bushy barrel is the most accurate gun I have ever fired. I have a few, including an Armalite AR10T that's <span style="font-style: italic">almost</span> as accurate. There's nothing quite like getting everything you paid for, and then some. Enjoy.

Re: My new rig! pics

Sweet rifle! And Nice shooting!
Show us a Side pic I want to see the grip your running? I've been thinking about swapping out the Big ass TAPCO grip on my SASS!
46gr Of Varget on the 168's is a wee bit warm isnt it??? Mine is a 1/2 moa or less with 44gr and 168 SMK's

Re: My new rig! pics

I will try to put a video of groups being shot on the range to show gun in action if the wind isnt bad this weekend.
 
Re: My new rig! pics

LOL I have the same charging handle one mine as well. He pretty much has my rifle.

Out of all the semis I've owned it's 2nd place as the most consistent shooter. Shoots great with everything I put in it.

I usually go 45.5 an 45.7, both shoot quite well although drop it back to 45.5 for the semis.

If accuracy is your thing you'll be happiest with an AR10 and you can have something decent for about 1700$.

If you're more about the rifle's "character" then buy whichever appeals to you the most, it's your $$$$.
 
Re: My new rig! pics

I've recently really gotten the itch to get into a SASS rifle. I can't make up my mind either. I'm in the research portion right now. I keep wondering if the Les Baer is worth the extra coin???? I am trying to find the ups and downs between the DPMS, the Armalite, and the LBC.

Get a DPMS, that way if you want the short lighter, or longer heavy barrel , or .260 all you have to do is buy another upper (same mags,same trigger,same stock - just swap tops)

Seems like the new Magpul mags have solved my double feeds (fingers crossed)

The Magpuls were the reason I kept my DMPS. I kept getting double feeds and was getting sick of it, bought 4 pmags and havent had a problem since. The factory mags are junk.
 
Re: My new rig! pics DPMS SASS IOR 3-18

Don't wanna thread-jack, but I've got a question for you DPMS LR308 guys:

I bought a SASS 2 years ago, and I've NEVER gotten it to shoot better than 1.5 MOA for a group of 5 or more, at any range. I broke it in according to the DPMS directions (which was excruciating). I've tried FGMM, Hornady 168 Match, and many different loads of my own using 4895, 4064, Varget and RL15 with 168smk, 175smk and 180smk. I've had 2 or 3 different optics on it, with 2 or 3 different mounts. I've also had several friends who are good (not USMC snipers, but good) shoot it with the same results as me. I can shoot .5 MOA or better with my bolt gun.

I finally sent it in to DPMS a couple months ago, and I JUST got the accuracy report back - shoots .6 MOA (3 shot group) for them with Hornady Match. .7 with FGMM. Haven't received the rifle back yet, but....

Do you think I just can't shoot it worth a damn (somehow I can shoot a bolt gun, but not a gas gun), or that DPMS just didn't want to fix it?
 
Re: My new rig! pics

They did a great job when they put the SASS together. I almost bought this gun and might pick one up; when I get all the other guns I need (want). The SASS has a really nice barrel. I used the LAR 8 and I am pleased. But the DPMS SASS is awesome, especially for the money. Great gun - accurate.

Good shooting. Also your photos are excellent.
