So I'm looking at a Cmmg Mk3 for $1100 with a Viper scope in a Burris mount. Good deal or is there a better Ar10 out there for that kind of money. Ill be shooting out to 600 yards as this will likely be a hunting and target rifle.
The CMMG will be a nice gun. Is ammo expense a concern? If so buy a budget rifle and use the saved money to buy ammo.
I picked up a DPMS classic in 308 from another member last year. Love shooting it and it's pretty dang accurate, but lord it's heavy!! we're talking this porker tips the scales at a little over 13lbs with glass, mount and bipod. Definitely NOT a battle rifle, unless you're Chuck Norris - then EVERYTHING is a battle rifle.
As a side note, it didn't like American Eagle ammo that came with it. I had to work up a custom load before it was accurate. It's still not a tack driver, but I can get 2 inch groups at 488 yards. A little more load workup and I could probably get it more accurate, but I'm pretty happy with that.
FYI: it will flat out destroy a Coyote.
