Sometimes I think dumb thoughts, but usually disabuse myself of them before I act on them. So, my old standby Garand will remain my Garand. I've even bought another 1000 rounds of .308, just in case. And, my Remington 870 is on the way. Along with a new XD 5" .45. I guess I'm just an un-reconstructed West Texan. Guns rock!

Now if I could get back to doing 3 miles at a 10 min pace with the Garand at high port.........

Been looking at the DPMS LR 308B, they are used as sniper rifles around here......anyone have experience with them? A good price and where?

I haven't heard of one not shooting well. I've had the M4 version, the 24" fluted bull barrell model and currently the SASS rifle. They've all been great, I've just gone for different styles.
The SASS has a Horus 4-16 in a LaRue SPR mount and a harris bipod. It's a great shooting gun. Mine has an Vltor stock, but they currently come with a Magpul full length adjustable.

The array of DPMS 308 weapons have gained excellent reputations in the field over the years. Three of my security staff carry 24" DPMS .308's for long distance perimeter security and our confidence in DPMS platforms is very high.

DPMS's have tight tolerances, hence extremely high 500 yard accuaracy, and are therefore more subject to dust/sand jamming than are FAL type assault rifles. If your area of operation is the U.S. then wind swept sand and debris should not be a problem.

DPMS has excellent technical staff and the owners are well known and respected within the Operator community.

Anybody have experience using other brands of mags in the DPSM .308? where do you find mag pouchs for the DPSM mags? I tried an M-14 mag pouch and its too small. Nice rifle but no much support for all the extra's your need to use it.
So far my experience with the support staff from DPMS is less then satisfying.

After handling, firing, and reading about many of the the various .308 options I favor DSA's SA58 FAL Spartan.

SA58 FAL Spartan Tactical Rifle .308 Caliber, 16" Flutted Barrel, A2 Flashider, Standard Synthetic Handguard, Saw Pistol Grip, ACE SOCOM Buttstock, Type I receiver without carry handle cut, Robar NP3, DSA Speed Trigger. 3-20 Round Mags. All Black or Black & Green Duracoat Finish Included.

Factory added MeproLight tritium night sights, picatinny dust cover/scope mount, and ten add'l 20 rnd mags, plus the three that come with it, is a nice setup.
