A few months ago I purchased an Armalite AR-10(T). The rifle came with a nice one piece scope mount ($100 value), and I mounted a Nikon 4.5-14x MilDot scope and Harris bipod. I've been very impressed with the rifle thusfar. The barrel isn't even close to being broken in and I'm getting 5 inch groups with cheap factory ammo at ranges of 300-400 yards without much effort.
My question is do you think the DPMS LR-.308 is a performance equal of the AR-10(T) for long range accuracy AND reliability. The Armalite was $1900 new and the DPMS is only about $1000. I'm considering selling my AR to my brother and getting a DPMS LR-308 because I could use some extra cash. The DPMS (as far as I know) doesn't come with a scope mount, or match-grade trigger, so I think it would be about $1200 for one w/ those 2 options. Also, I'd probably go with the cryo treated barrel. I'm only interested in AR type rifles set up for long range sniping. Thanks for the help.
