The scope came off of my Rem 700 with that paint job. It's now a double duty set up, bolt and semi 308. As far as the paint job, it doesn't blend into the back yard for crap. But out on the prairie in SE WY it works decent enough. I've taken the 700 out a few times and it works nice enough.
I do like how the camo paint job came out, but I love this gun! The 308 is just an all around bad ass cartridge and is your GP do it all, top that off with semi auto MOA capabilities, you can't complain.

Is that a T1 on the side? What mount is that?

Here's my new LR 308 Oracle, at least that's how it started out. I replaced the stock collapsible carbine buttstock with a rifle length tube - spring - rifle buffer, and added the Magpul PRS stock. I took off the stock handguards and gas block and put on a low pro gas block and Apex free float handguards and also replace the grip with a Magpul MAID grip (fits my hand better). I also put a Gunfighter charging handle in it. I replaced the flash suppressor with a Battlecomp BABC muzzle brake/flash suppressor. Last but not least I bought a Vortex Viper HS 5 - 15X44 scope and mounted it in a Burris PEPR mount. I bought the rifle on Monday and finished it up Sunday night. If the weather stays nice I'll be able to get to the local 100 yard range on Wednesday and try it all out, can't wait to get some rounds down range!!! The quality on the rifle is extremely good, fit - finish - and workmanship are great. I did a lot of research before buying the DPMS and the user reviews for the 308s was excellent and they all seem to be very accurate for the money. A winning combination in my book. I've got about $2,100 in it and it's now the way I wanted it to be. I'm glad it's only a range gun, it tips the scales at 12.5 lbs. I'd hate to pack it thru the woods hunting!!!!!!
UPDATE: Here's a couple of targets using facorty AMAX and TAP FPD both 168 grn bullets. The four shot group in the TAP bullseye measures .625". The 3 shot group in the AMAX target bullseye measures .64" and the group to the bottom right measures .7". All measurements are center to center. Not bad for a $1100.00 rifle. If I was a better shot the groups would be tighter. But at 64 I'm not the shot that I used to be. It's a fun gun to shoot!!!! I also put a JP Bennie Cooley muzzle brake on it. Does a great job of recoil reduction but it is LOUD.

A 45 may not expand but it will never be smaller than .45!!
