Hello all!
So I was looking for some advice on an ar-10 style rifle. A LGS has a used dpms lr-308, 16" barrel, plus hard case and moumted nikon 3-9x40. The previous owner also swapped the standard stock for what looks like a magpul moe, and the handguard for a quad rail (sorry, can't tell you the brand). Anyhow, that for $900. Assuming it's not a beat up POS, that sound like a decent price? I'm way more familiar with the ar-15 platform and kinda an idiot on the 10's. (For that matter, I've never even shot a .308. Don't know anyone with one, and until now not able to get one)
Not looking to make 1000+ yard shots. Not looking for flawless finish. I'm just looking for something to hit reliably on the target, run mostly reliable, hit out 500 yds, maybe a little more, and leave a bigger hole than a .223. Oh, and all without dropping my life savings, which is difficult for .308 semis...
Anyhow, thoughts?
Edit: before anyone can come along and say it, I know, the title doesn't quite match the content. The AR-10 and DPMS LR-308 are NOT the same...
