input for 308 ar

Of the three listed, LMT for sure.

Not a fan of the Ruger, and between the DD and the Lewis, LMT has a track record. That said, history would have me assume the DD will be a good rifle.

The Daniel Defense DD5V1 looks very good!

Nice looking setup - with those mods, how much extra $ did that run you (minus the optic/mags).

I'll vouch for ArmaLite if you're adding it to the list. Overall, mine has been good as well. The only issue is the FCG pins like to walk, which is fairly easy to address.

I have no doubt it will be. I have their Lite Rail on my Armalite. It is good stuff.

I've shot the LMT, Ruger, my old DPMS, as well as my current own Armalite.
My impressions:
LMT - heavy, but probably the best of the bunch. Accurate.
Ruger - heavy. Very gassy. I was choking and tearing up after 2 or 3 shots. Wasn't able to evaluate accuracy.
DPMS - surprisingly, not bad for a range gun. The new G2 models seem to be even lighter and made from better materials.
Armalite - I like it, but I'm not under any illusions that it's a better gun than the LMT.

You really can't go wrong with the MWS. If you can swing the cash for a KAC, even better.
The DD 308 is kind of an unknown. DD makes quality guns. However, it is a first gen release, so who knows. At least the LMT and KAC have gone through several/multiple iterations, generations, revisions, etc.

spoke to a local dealer and he quoted $2700 out the door for the DD, i expected street price to fall around $2300. Leaning more towards the LMT with the slick rail if the price between the two is the same

My DPMS G2 Recon shoots sub MOA 5shots groups consistently. It's a darn nice 308 AR. The only thing you have to do to it is put an adjustable gas block on it as it comes over gassed.

Nice!

if i had the coin to buy between the 3 id choose LMT or even a SCAR17. DD308 has yet to be released and truly reviewed even tho i dont doubt DD's quality as we all know how well the ar15's are.

For What It Is Worth - I owned a Ruger 7.62 and over 750 rounds or so, never had a single malfunction. It is OK on weight (if it isn't, do more PT). It was plenty accurate enough for "social" or hunting work.

I got rid of it after Ruger refused to stock spare/replacement parts at vendors, and when I contacted them, this is what I got:
- We will not sell you parts
- We will sell you a bolt complete and a buffer spring for $300

I built a PSA "AR-10" for $800. It does quite well (in spite of being a gas gun). Since I do not anticipate having a Wanat style target rich environment, then it should fully satisfy my needs.

The SR7.62 went in trade for a 18" M1A Scout with a Vortex 1X Spitfire. : )

YMMV
