re: DPMS AR-10 .308 Does anybody here have one? Are you happy with it?

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.

right..a gas gun isn't going be as good as a bolt of course.It keeps a pretty tight group at 250 yard,or so,when conditions aren't perfect?
I guess that is my main question,because of the velocity that will be lost,how well does it do?

This just simply isn't true. I've seen multiple AR15s/AR10s that have tested sub-MOA from the factory. One example would be the S&W M&P10.
As for felt recoil, the beautiful thing about going with an AR is that almost all of them will have a threaded barrel for a muzzle device. You may want to double up on hearing protection but if you're only concerned with limiting recoil, a muzzle brake is a simple solution.
To the OP, spend the extra money and get the Smith. It will run better than the DPMS and have much better accuracy. If you need a reviewer to tell you, watch this NutNfancy review. Skip to about the 25 minute mark to see the accuracy. He was consistently shooting sub-MOA on a factory rifle - M&P10.
EDIT: Forgot to mention that the M&P10 has an 18" barrel and ambi controls...
