Thanks, I will try that when I get a chance.

Several of our guys have bought them (probably from the same shop).

I was tempted, very tempted.

What is the street price round'about?

What is the street price round'about?

I am told the OR version retails for $1650. I was also told that the LE individual officer price for the OR version is about $1150. The LE OR version may be the only version shipping at this time. I was also told the Magpul version with Troy BUIS is about $200+ more than the OR version. I have no idea about the street price. I just wish I coud find some MagPul PMAG 20 LR 308 magazines.

I am not much into match grade ammo, I go mostly for ammo that is accurate enough and has good terminal ballistics.

In .308, accurate and hammer ballistics go together pretty well.

I still have a handful of Federal Gold Medal Match that I recently found. As well as some 175 grain SMK OTM loaded by Black Hills.

If you have 1:10 twist barrel, it will really like the 168's and 175's.

Let me know where I can ship a few boxes to, and I will get some out when I get off of this trip.

I was 6 feet away from one at my range...could not touch as they were marked for LEO sale only which I think is BS. Good for ONE, Good for ALL.

I think the only difference between the OR LE model and the other one is the size of the magazine. The LE guy can probably get a better deal from his LE distributor than a non LE guy can get on the street.

Fired the M&P 10 26 times today out of the PMAG 308 20 LR. I loaded it 3-5 rounds at a time, no malfunctions. It shot it with a Leupold Prismatic, all I have at the monent. I will mount a 3x9 or 4x16 late next week when I get the mounts. I shot 1 3/4" 3 shot groups at 100 yds with a 1X scope with a dot that is probably 3 MOA or larger. Also did I mention each shot hurt like hell.

For one who is used to a DDM4V7lw, the recoil is huge. I recently had to switch from left shoulder to right shoulder because of eye trouble. Had surgery on the right shoulder about 40 years ago, left a hole with no padding where the buttstock meets the shoulder. No issues with the 5.56, hurts like hell with the 308/150. I plan to get the .7" recoil pad for the Magpul ACS buttstock. I am sure a heavier scope will help mitigate recoil. I also "must" get a muzzle brake, if I am to continue down this path. Anyone have any suggestions? Please help. Thanks in advance.
