DPMS Oracle
Does anyone have the Oracle in 308 (Model LR-308)? If so what do you like and dislike about it? I have a Stag Arms AR-15 (5.56) but I am thinking about a .308 for bigger critters.

I've started to feel bad that this thread hasn't gotten any responses, so I'll offer a few thoughts, even though I haven't owned the exact model in question:
Check the box for weight and resale mentally, and I'd venture it's a safe bet that you'd be happy with the LR-308. |
Well I have a Stag Arms AR-15 and I really like it. I had a hankering for a .308 semi. I was originally thinking of getting a M1A (probably a Springfield) either full length or SOCOM model. But after reading what I could find on both the M1A and the AR-10, the consensus was that the AR is generally more accurate.
So looking at the different manufacturers the DPMS got the nod for the best bang for my buck. |

Tried talking him into a .338fed build Mercy. Him is stuck on .308. Wish mine would hurry up n git here. I'm gettin antsy!

I keep going back and forth about my own AR-10 receivers that are staring me in the face on the back of my bench...
Part of me wants another 243win or maybe 6.5creed to be used on longer range coyotes, then part of me wants a 338fed for use on deer. Then I start drifting into wishing I could find one of the old 300RSAUM uppers and rebarrel it for 338WSM or RSAUM... And then I wake up and go back to work on something more practical than an AR-10, and those receivers go another month before I notice them staring at me again... |
Like a kid in a candy store! :s2:
|
If DPMS made a 338 fed I would seriously consider it.
|
They do. http://www.dpmsinc.com/LITE-HUNTER_ep_154-1.html It's the direction I ALMOST went but since I already had a lower I just went with an upper build. Came out a few hundred cheaper and more than likely a little better rifle since I went with a Black Hole barrel.
|
Yeah I saw that but not in the Oracle. The Lite Hunter is twice the cost of the Oracle and it doesn't nave a collapsible stock. (Easy to change but...) It would likely be cheaper for me to buy the .308 and later if I choose to get a 338 upper.
