I will buy another AR-10/308 this week, and for those who compared the 2 is there one that shine over the other... I all ready own a Armalite AR-10T and this rifle is a MOA rifle, easy, will the REPR give me more inherent accuracy or it is just a tie.... The Armalite is also 500.00 cheaper but this is less important.... Accuracy is more... Inputs will be appreciated.... JP.
Armalite AR-10T or DPMS REPR 308/7.62......

Without a doubt I'd get neither and go for the LMT MRP .308 that Questar has. It's got a much better reputation than either the Armalite or the DPMS and in the same price range....as for non-restricted, I'm not holding my breath so the 16" barrel wouldn't bother me a bit.
I will do a little reading on that LMT and i am not really serious about this NR stuff, it is more of a wish, i just think the 308 is losing to much of it's advantage in a barrel under 20 inch, this lenght i find ideal for balance between velocity and great accuracy.... JP.

The Britsh Army used a version of it (with the stainless barrel) as their L129A1 Sharpshooter rifle. LMT is known for top-quality rifles,although they're maybe not as well-known as some of the bigger names.

Check out the ATRS Modern Hunter. Already has a NR status.
Two completely different platforms, one is a target rifle while the other is a DMR rifle, meant for different applications.
That being said, it doesn't change the fact that the only place we can (for now?) use them is at the range for practice and comps in civilian application.
I'd stick with the AR-10T and if you really want to spend the cash spend it on a Les Baer, JP Enterprises, GAP, LMT, i.e take a full leap forward and not just a step.

Unproven (in private hands), not yet released platform is it not?

I have no dog in that debate, but it's a DI system and ATRS has been building the AT15 long enough to have a proven record. I do believe release date is Feb 2015 though.
Personally I look at the project with interest in a Canadian built semi auto 308 and look forward to the end result.

Huh, interesting. Well in my defence it's a long thread and I honestly haven't kept up on it since seeing the lower receiver pictures. I thought they had a full FRT on it, but I could be mistaken.
None the less just thought I'd throw out another option as the OP seemed to have some desire toward NR status.
Now this is interesting.
What would be involved in this final FRT inspection (allowed to deliver it to the customer) Vs what was done already (allowed them to manufacture the rifle)?
Don't want to derail the thread, so if you prefer, PM will work just fine. Curious minds want to know.

Well I guess you would consider ANY AR10 style rifle unproven then, the design of the AR10 is only a mere 60 years old and totally unproven.
All we did is take the AR10 design and modify it some and added some features that are fairly common in higher end AR style rifles.
Just because YOU have not seen 1 shoot does not mean it has not happened, so YES YOU ARE MISTAKEN, we have had the prototype gun out to several ranges over the last couple of months.
We DO have to send a production rifle back to the RCMP for final approval so that they are satisfied that the final product is the essentially the same as the crude prototype we originally submitted. This will happen in the next week or so. We are told by Bill Etter that final inspection should only take a few weeks. All that has changed since the prototype was approved are cosmetic improvements and refinements to things like the charge handle and the addition of an integral ambi bolt release, so the chances of it being classified as anything but NON restricted is incredibly low as the operating system and dimensions of both the upper and lower have not changed, so our upper and lower are still 100% NON compatible with any other makers AR10 style rifle.
I think the only way you are going to know for sure is to get the DPMS and try it out.
I'm interested in these platforms as well as I am thinking of building an AR 10 match rifle.

Cool, you admit to designing and building a variant of the AR10/15.

Where have you been? From day 1 it was well established that our rifle employs many parts that are shared with an AR10. Call it a "variant" if you wish. ALL guns of today are a variant of some pre-existing design that someone came up with several centuries ago.
What IS important to take from this is that we succeeded in making a semi automatic rifle based on a "fairly" modern design that is modular and was classified as a NON restricted firearm.
