I have one in .308 but I haven't had a chance to really try much different ammo out of it but with Lake City Match it's shooting about 3" at 100yds and with my 168gr. Ballistic Tips I'm getting right at 1".

I think I could get better groups if I were to put a higher power scope (I have a 1.75-5x Leupold on it) and if I put a decent trigger in it.

Reviews in various magazines like everything but the trigger. I do not always believe the review guys as they are paid to say relatively nice things.

Let me know your opinion when you shoot it.
Thanks

I have one in .243 with a .308 DPMS upper as well.
The trigger MUST go. Long gritty pull. Also the Remington upper felt gritty as it cycled. cleaned and still gritty. It seems to be going away as it's shot.

i put a 3.5# timney in mine, i prefer the JP one however the timney is working well. you must be careful on ar's with to light a trigger. much of the trigger pull weight is derived from lightening the hammer sprint, and if you go to light it won't set off primers reliably. even at 3.5# i've found some military primers had to be hit the second time
