I'd look at the Larue OBR, or the GA Precision GAP-10.

We got two OBRs at work and they are simply the best bang to the buck we found, with the emphasis on accuracy. DPMS was not even considered. LMT was close, but could not beat the OBR for our purposes.
I was a skeptic until I shot the OBR.

Another vote here for an OBR. I sold my Accuracy International AW to pick a 16in OBR. When I saw accuracy was on par with my AIAW, it was an easy decision to ditch the bolt gun. Shorter barrel, follow up shots faster, and magazine capacity. Plus, a lot of the weapon manipulation is the same as any other AR platform. Accessories are plentiful and mounting a RDS for CQB work is a viable option not found on a bolt gun. Shoots under MOA at 500 yards all day since that's all I have here in my area.

Carlo, are you running a 16" barrel?

Are there any ar10s that AREN't over 2k? Just wondering since right now the only ones being considered by people is LMT and OBR for the most part. Anyone know how much that colt will run for?

I beleive the colt is coming in just under 2k which is a nice place to be.
the "real" AR-10(Armalite) is ok (mag issues aside) and probably preferable to DPMS but even DPMS in 308 in held in higher regard to the 223 version.
Both of them retail base models in the 1000-1500 range.
**Gardner Precision, Sorry that's one of my pet peeves, they're actually in MO, and they make a great gun. Probably the best cost/performance gun out there, just as accurate as an emc or obr, and from what I've heard from owners more reliable. I own 3 bolt guns from GAP and they are absolutely stellar, a GAP-10 is probably the next gun on my list unless the SCAR SSR gets released after shot.
ETA: Also do yourself a favor and save your pennies rather than dumping them on a DPMS and regretting it later and trying to upgrade. I can't speak to armalite as I've never even shot one.
