Hi All
Have purchased a DPMS .308LR G2 with a 24" barrel.
Could not say no at the price.
With the 24" barrel it is awesome at longer ranges and is grouping nice, however for scrub/bush hunting it is a bit nose heavy for my liking and to be useful at the shorter ranges we get when stalking. Mostly under 80m rarely over 200m.
Been a modular system I am after a little advice from guys experienced with this platform - black guns are all very new to me. This is a replacement for an old Rem mod 742 Woodmaster 30.06 which I have basically worn out, had it since I was 18 - I am reading the the DPMS is a little different from other AR10 platforms and that parts are not necessarily inter-changable.
I am thinking that a shorter barrel with complete upper assembly - including bolt carrier group - may be the way to go. That way I can have optics setup on both barrel assemblies and field change quickly as needs require.
Am I on the correct path and what other parts/ assemblies will work with the DPMS G2 platform? Am thinking a light 16" or maybe 18" barrel assembly to complement the 24" I currently have.
Any knowledgeable advice appreciated.
Merry Christmas
