I use the Colt 901 with a heavy barrel, its like butter. It does not seem to have as much recoil as a bolt gun in .308.

Less recoil than a bolt action 308.

I shoot a Rock River LAR 308 with 20" bull barrel. Love it!

Only down side is that it's heavy.

easily

I'm gonna have to try my nephew's AR. Maybe it will be my next rifle. The more I read and watch about them, the more I like em. I'll have to admit I have said I'd never own one.

Awesome info! i am buying a DPMS Oracle .308 tonight! I am excited for it, and glad to trade up from a .223!

Heck Yeah.. I love my AR10's... 260 and 308, both do the job VERY well..

Another nice setup. Just wondering, why a 4 rounder when hunting deer? When I hunt them with the AR-15 chambered in 6.5 Grendel there is usually 10 round magazine in it incase hogs come by. In Texas there is no limit for how many rounds your rifle can hold for hunting deer.

The only mod my DPMS LR-308 needed after a scope was a match trigger. DPMS factory trigger is TERRIBLE. This rifle has very light recoil in my opinion. I believe a child could shoot it comfortably.

As stated before, it is heavy. Especially with my stainless suppressor, but most of my hunting is from a blind so the weight is no concern. As for mobility in the blind, the 16inch barrel and collapsible stock make it very easy to maneuver quickly. I say go for it!

Of course you can hunt deer with it. Check the rules on mag capacity cuz there may be one.
I picked up an Armalite AR-10 back in 08' or 09' with the 20" barrel. Killed many a deer and lots of pigs with it. I topped it with a NightForce and whacked a doe at 400 yards and big boar at 380 yards, in fifteen minute span lounging around in a gazebo built on top of the hunters lodge. The doe was on the far side of the tank, the pig was slightly right of that from this view looking out from the gazebo. With the glass I added, a rail, and magpul butt, the AR-10 is pretty heavy. Too heavy for me to tote these days. Still a great blind gun though.

I use the 4 round mag because I hunt mainly from a blind and the 20 rnd gets in the way hanging out the window. It's been over 30 years since i've used any more than 1 round.

That's what I'm swapping to

I use a DPMS LR-260H mainly for hogs,but I deer hunt with it also. To me,it's not any heavier than my RRA Varminter 223 with a heavy barrel.
Currently,I'm running one of Mike Tillman's Resolute Precision Machining digital night vision units on it. I love that thing!
The only other non DPMS parts on the rifle are the RRA NM 2 stage trigger,a Hogue hand grip,10 rd Stoner magazines,and an ACE skeleton stock. I feed it a steady diet of 140 gr Sierra gameking handloads,and it shoots them excellent.

I do sometime with a DPMS LR 243 and it kills them just as dead as my 260 or 25-06 or 308.
