I am going to have one of these two rifles. The DPMS has a longer heavy barrel, but I have no experience with them. The Remington is a standard R-15 .30 ar with a 22" bbl. Which do you guys think would be more accurate? Thanks in advance.

Re: Most accurate, heavy bbl. DPMS .308 or Rem 30 AR?
Regardless of accuracy, why would you want to go with a bastardized caliber like the .30 Remington AR which has, thus far, developed little to no support from ammo mfgs and the aftermarket in general? Why not consider a .300 Blackout if you want .30 cal projectiles in a smaller, AR-15 package? Its a no-brainer!
Now, with that said, depending on what your intentions are for the rifle, the .308 will give you outstanding accuracy across the board from the heavy-barreled DPMS, from a wider range of projectile weights and at vastly longer ranges than the .30 RAR could ever dream of.

308 is by far the way to go. especially in todays time, where things can possibly get banned by the end of next month. always stick with the most popular cartridges, there the most abundant.

I mostly agree with whats been said, except I'd spend a bit more and go with Armalite.
okie

okiefired nailed it.
ARMALITE AR-10A4. Burn out the barrel and then go 6.5CM or 6CM.

My DPMS SASS is the most accurate of my 3 308 rifles.
Then the LMT MWS and last the Armalite AR-10A4
