Several years ago I picked up an LR-308 sportical with a 16'' barrel. I've switched over to a standard A2 stock and buffer which helped mitigate the recoil and violence of the action. But regardless of what I do, the recoil and shock transmitted through the rifle is pretty extreme. I've shot a lot of different loads through it and I can't get it to feel like some of the other 308 ARs I've shot. I intend to do mostly long range shooting and I'm thinking about going with a faxon or black hole weaponry 18'' or 20''. I'm wondering if DPMS might have made the gas port slightly larger to increase reliability with a wide range of ammo. Considered getting an adjustable gas block, but I'd rather have something I don't have to monkey with or worry about coming out of adjustment.
And before everyone gets up on their high horse declaring how terrible DPMS is, the rifle has been very reliable and functions %100. The AR platform gets accuracy from the trigger and barrel above almost all else. If I can shoot a 2'' group with 147 gr. ball that's all I need. Just wondering if other lr-308 owners have had similar experiences with over gassing.
