    LR-308 - does it just need a trigger mod?

    What is holding the DPMS LR-308 back from being considered equal with the Armalite AR-10 or the Rock River LAR-8? Is it just the gawdawful trigger? would a nice timney drop in trigger bring it up to compete with the others? i realize it's not in the running with some of the higher end brands.
