I have the DPMS LR6.5, same as the LR308 essentially. I really like it, only 2 complaints which ill come back to. Its a very accurate no frills rifle. Very heavy, over 13lbs with a full mag + the scope. I coyote hunt with it, despite the weight, until the snow is too deep for my bipod that is. Complaints in the trigger and had short stroking until i trimmed the buffer spring a bit. I think the LR6.5 and LR260 are more prone to short strokes from the factory because as far as im aware its the exact same lower as the LR308 which was designed for a .308 not the smaller 260 and Creedmoor. The trigger i would say is not up to par with the other aspects of the rifle but i got use to it.
