I have an Armalite AR-10 that was tweaked for long range shooting, though it's never been past 300yd. (I've never done more than zero it and plink in its' two outings. :tears
. But it shoots like it has some *real* potential--< .75MOA so far with 5-shot FGM 168 OEM ammo.
I bought it about 7 years ago, before the other brands came out in full force. Today, there's a lot of accepted brands, DPMS, DD, RR in the AR format, and some have broken out big in the '10 field, but one that is really making a big name and getting rave reviews is Patriot Ordnance Factory, partly because their gun isn't an impingement mechanism, but a gas piston gun.
If I was thinkin' about an AR-10 today, it would be one I'd consider very heavily vs. the Armalite design, and I dunno how I'd make my final choice... mebbe sentimentality would win out--it's for sure I ain't unhappy with an Armalite in the safe, but I dunno that I'd be as happy with a DPMS, Eagle, RRA, etc. It'd be like buying a Kimber instead of a Colt to satiate a lust for a 70 Series 1911.
