DPMS ORACLE in 308
« on: November 25, 2016, 04:24:30 PM »
I'm going to look at one for these tomorrow for $749.00. Is this a good price and does anybody have anything to say about this gun?

I don't think I could build one for that.

DPMS has been in the AR business for a long time and I think at that price you can't go wrong.

Not the Oracle, but my DPMS LR-308 shoots great

The oracle in .223/556 shoots sub moa with reloads, no mechanical issues so far... for what its worth, trigger is horrendous but at $475 or so a pop, wont complain.

 :yeah:

$749 for a 308 is a good price.
 - triggers are horrible.

i have the DPMS .223/5.56 and have not had any issues thus far.  accurate as all get out with factory loads.

Did you get it? I love my DPMS. Not the oracle but a switched out trigger and my prairie panther can get 3 rounds about cloverleafing at 100m. Still playing with ammo but I just got a lead sled and about 12 different bullets to figure it all out.
May my presence go unnoticed, may my shot be true, may the blood trail be short.

Amen

Upgrade the trigger and you'll love it.  You'll still be in it for the cost to build one. 

Just took mine down to Texas for a hog and deer hunt.  Made the mistake of trying to hoof it on a 5 mile hike, but it worked great out of a stand.
