My AR-10 Is A Pig!

Daym!!!

I never weighed the one I had. DPMS with an 18" bull barrel. You certainly didn't want to carry it around much.

Is that just the rifle or with optics?

With scope. Sightron S-Tac 3-16. Also beefy!

 

[GTN]

Now I have to go weigh mine

 

[Hochulsucks1234]

They are quite hefty. I tried hunting with mine..it was too heavy to lug into the woods. Shoots so nicely though.

 

[Saltwater60]

With it being that heavy it must be illegal somehow in NYS.

 

[dsdmmat]

That is light compared to some of mine. Lol

With scope. Sightron S-Tac 3-16. Also beefy!

Christ, that scope has gotta go 3Lbs all on its own!

I have scope/mount combos that are under a pound

Built a carbon fiber barreled 204 for yote hunting, with a low mass bolt carrier. It seemed light as hell,,,, till I stuck the Iray Bolt thermal scope on it. Now it feels like I didn't go far enough with the weight reduction. Still somewhat satisfied with it though. Im really satisfied that I didn't choose a AR10 build

 

[fresch]

That is a war pig!

 

[GTN]

Mine is 12 lbs 4oz
Must be the 45° micro red dot that makes it so heavy

 

[STS556]

I had to weigh mine. Its a DPMS LR 308 with the stock 16” barrel and a Doublestar ARFX buttstock. The scope is a Vortex Viper 6-24x50 with the sunshade and Butler Creek caps on a Vortex cantilever mount.

Dayum. My traps are sore just thinking about lugging that beast around the field.

It seems fine to me for a mans gun.

 

[Vapor]

There is definitely a commanding difference between a .308 and a 5.56 at the range in semi auto.


I've come to like the .308 rifles a lot.

 

[Mk44]

For me, that's fine for the range/target shooting. But I wouldn't want to carry that ALL day for hunting when I have lighter options.

Rugers new .308 AR, on an AR-15 lower that has an extended magwell, comes in pretty light. 7-8 lbs or so

16" bbl is too short, but an 18" would be perfect.

The Remington DPMS/SR-25 AR10 with 20" fluted floating bbl is what I have....Thordsen stock, no muzzle device. Noticably heavy, compared to my AR Mk12 clones.

Mean Arms sells a .308 Mag loader for .308, besides .223. and a mag lock might work on the new Ruger, making it NYS Legal.
