How accurate is it? How do you have it set up? Does it keep a tight group for you?

My cousin has one, shoots top notch, only thing was I don't know his specific model but it was commercial spec bcg,tube, and stock. It shoots great but he wants to sell it bc it's kinda heavy.

I built one with a dpms style action. A gas gun is only going to be so accurate unless you go really high end. Factory guns will do well to stay under 1-1.5 moa in my experience. You might get lucky and get a tack driver but it will be just that, luck.

Really all depends upon what you call tight. Mine will hold .5 9 out of 10 times, but the 10th it will open up a bit. Just a lot of moving parts.

I have shot their REPR rifle 2 times. It was very accurate and precise both times.

16in with upgraded retractable stock and respectable optics. Not sub moa (I have bolt action that is) but this may have as much to do with my level of skill. I consider this an accurate enough system. I run Winchester white box and have had NO issues. I didn't buy Patriot or Noveske, so for what's invested, I am happy with the purchase and performance.

I have one but don't shoot it very much. no issues. put a 3-9 scope on it for hunting but only used xbow last year. it was accurate enough at a hundred yards for me, and that's a long shot for where I hunt.

DPMS LR-308-B owner here. She's got an 18" heavy barrel with a target recessed crown, no dust cover and no forward assist.

Ditto the poster who mentioned the weight. This thing is a beast to carry around.

Accuracy is very good. No idea on MOA stats, but with Federal premium 168 grain match ammo, mine cloverleafs holes at 100yds when using a lead sled. The rifle shoots better than I can, and I'm looking forward to setting up in a deerstand with her.

I have the full JagerPro setup with the Panther DPMS AR-10 in 308 with the 3rd Gen night vision scope and all that.

I almost never shoot it on paper. Maybe twice a year I shoot it on paper at 50 yds 1.5" high to make sure it's still "on".

The way I hunt hogs is that we have bait stations and walk up to within 50-60 yards down wind of the corn pile. Then we set up with a tripod and cut loose on the pigs.

I'm more about volume than accuracy. But when the dust settles there usually a pile of dead hogs. And then a couple of days later there's usually a bunch of buzzards around. Our rule is that if they make it out of the food plot, we call it a "miss".

I'm not exactly a stickler for details.
