308 AR is the next step in your gun collection, you’ve come to the right place. An AR-10 or LR-308 may be the perfect addition to your collection. You may not have the same needs as an infantryman in combat, but you may be thinking about building or customizing a rifle that’s extremely accurate over long distances and that has the stopping power to down the largest of game. With the need to engage the enemy from farther away and to have greater penetration and stopping power, the military is looking to provide a rifle with a greater capability to individual infantry soldiers in the coming years. While the M16/M4 - the military version of the AR-15 - has been the weapon of choice for the individual soldier to train and fight with since the latter half of the Vietnam War, special operators have been using weapons with the larger 7.62/.308 round for much of this century. The 5.56/.223 round doesn’t have the stopping power or muzzle velocity to go after larger targets at longer distances. It’s light and accurate, and it has the benefit of over a half-century of advancements, making it one of the most popular rifles in the country. Many of them love the versatility and dependability of the AR-15.
