I know a number of serious competitors who are using DPMS receivers (or clones) for their custom builds. They are the current standard (Chevy/Ford of the 308 ARs) and easy to work with. They're readily available, relatively inexpensive, and (in the mid/upper grades) as accurate and reliable as anything you've listed. Swap in a Geissele trigger, spend decent money on optics (you'll have to do that with everything else too) and spend the savings on decent ammo. It's not the LaRue (which is a Cadillac rifle) but you're neither paying nor waiting what it'll take to get the LaRue. FWIW - I use one for plinking at 1000yds. It easily holds the 10 ring with LR118 (but only when I get the wind right!). That's decent accuracy in anyone's book and IIRC I've only got about $1400 in the rifle. (The scope costs more than the rifle.)
When you get a chance how about posting a new introduction? Your old one seems to have gotten "misplaced".

That's some great advice. I did that to my Colt (5.56) and it's a fairly nice shooting rifle and honestly it's been my favorite up till now. I only have 60 rounds through the SR-15 I picked up, so that might change.
I'll roll over to the intro section, though there's not much to tell. Honestly, I've been here for awhile and though I haven't posted till now, I've learned some great things from the sites members. Lot of good people here.
