Came today. AR10T 16" Carbine. Have an open slate and open mind as to optics, etc. thinking of LaRue quick release mount. Nikon BDC M-308 BDC scope, with a Lucid red dot as an alternative. Any thoughts?

Now that I have had a chance to look it over, here are my first impressions. One, the National Match trigger is awesome! I will be retrofitting one to my AR10A4. Two it is lighter than my AR10A4, three tenths of a pound to be exact. With an empty magazine, it balances better, haven't put a full one on it yet. Came from CDNN with a Harris type bipod from Winchester, a padded sling, and 30 mm mounting rings, all at N/C.A better picture is below. The true tale will be after I break it in and get some good optics on it. Right now I put an old Sightron on it.

Sexy beast! I would really be wary of the Lucid. I've read and seen reviews where it didn't do so hot as far as durability went.

I put Larue quick release (LT104) on my AR10's and love them. I use the quick release so I can switch to open sites or throw on a night vision scope if I want. The Larue mounts definitely hold their zero when switching back and forth. I have the same carbine you just bought and it instantly became my favorite rifle. I don't even care to get the others out of the safe.

Looks GREAT.

I broke one in the other day: 40 rds down the pipe. Shoot 5 slowly, check for bbl temp using fleshly part of hand, barely warm. Let rest to bring to ambient temp, swab, repeat.

WOW the bbl looked like a mirror at the end of the 40 rds.

I have the same gun. I love it. I found it really likes Nosler 168grn Ballistic Tip bullets. I load with varget and CFE223. Both powders shoot about the same accuracy out to 200 yds. You will be very happy with it, I am sure.

Beautiful gun, great trigger. Congrats!

Thanks guys for the comments. I really like what I see so far, unfortunately my schedule is going to keep me away from shooting it for a while. I figure by the first of June, I will have it broken in and a handload tailored for it. My son doesn't know it yet, but my AR10A4 is going to be Santa's gift next year! Biggest difference I see so far between the two is much better balance with the AR10T, plus of course that beautiful trigger!

Nice, awesome deal Sisco. Many hours of great shooting ahead brother. Can't wait to see what you think of the M-308.
