I'm in the market for a precision semi-auto in .308 that would closely match the performance of my 1/4MOA bolt-action rifle and was wondering which manufacturers are in the top league?  I hear good things about Larue's OBR and GAP.  Any thoughts on these two and others would be most appreciated.  

Thanks.

JP, GAP, Fulton, AR10T, SR-25 Match, Larue OBR are a few. Depends on what u wanna spend and what goodies each of them offer.

1/4 MOA....?


I dunno. Most will claim .50, some better, but I dont know of a well built gas-gun that consistently shoots 1/4 or .25 MOA.................

my custom .260rem DPMS REPR shoots .200 easy, and the best group i'v had was .170/5 round group.  all depends on what parts you use, and who builds it.
but like i said its custom. i was a gunsmith there, so its a fitted upper and lower, all hand select parts, custom 2 stage triger, and a one off 24" sst krieger bbl.
you can get a factory ar that will shoot that good, but its a gamble as to getting the one that shoots 1 MOA or the one that shoots .25 MOA.
there are a few companys that will guarantee .5 MOA tho.

For what it is worth, I have a DPMS in 260 rem that, with the right load, will shoot a 5 shot group you can cover with a dime.  It probably depends on the loads you shoot and the individual gun but I have had no problems with my DPMS –– but I have no experience with other brands.

Thanks guys.  I'm inclined to go with JP Enterprises after reviewing their platform, plus I love the low profile look of their VTAC handguard.  Other technologies I find interesting on their rifles are their proprietary barrel heat sink, LMOS (low-mass operating system, ie. BGC) and awesome left-side charging handle.  It would be interesting to hear from anyone on this forum who owns one of these rifles.

Sooo... I own a stock Bushmaster ar-10 .308 and am putting up between .5 - .25MOA @ 100yds. (150gr Sierra Pro Hunter's) That's w/ a factory barrel and trigger. I'm looking at getting an aftermarket trigger... I'm just not sure which one yet. I have a jewell on my Rem700 and love it. I don't think they make one for the AR10 though. (or didn't last time I checked)  Has anyone put an AR15 trigger on an AR10?

OBR using factory hornady TAP 168 shoots easily 5/8 inch in a 9 shot group at 100... and i'm a cruddy shooter.
