DMR picture thread!

Only have one now (since converting my M1A back to its original configuration).

Right after I built it.

Liberty range at PNTC. Day 2 of a DMR match. Targets ranged between 425 to 670 yards.

Some informal practice time, uphill hitting a 4 inch plate at 225.

My M1A when I still had it set up as a DMR. If I remember properly this was at 125 yards shooting from kneeling and sitting. Really liked that set up for awhile but heavy as hell and tuning a M1A for accuracy can really turn into a money pit. But it did bring back some good memories of Afghanistan.

I thought DMRs used full powered rounds like .308 and SPRs were the lighter rounds like 5.56?

My bad for kind of stsrting another thread on a similar topic. I didnt know we grouped 5.56 rifles in with DMR, I appreciate all the help in thst thread though.

The MK12 series is a military DMR. yes the original term was SPR (Special Purpose Receiver, later coined as Special Purpose Rifle) but the role is what we consider for the designated marksman. SOCOM issued these in various configurations (mod 0, mod 1, mod H) and some made it down to regular units.

Military 5.56 in 77 grain OTM was developed to provide a round that would range past the traditional expected effective ranges of regular issue 5.56 (62 and 55 grain) while proving better accuracy and better terminal performance.

I had the opportunity to use a M14 my first Afghan tour and while I liked the better punch at longer ranges over our 5.56 green tip, even with optics it was still a 3-4 MOA rifle. M-80 ball was the standard issue round and precision accurate it is not. Not to mention our M14s are pretty well worn.

Supporting a couple of ODAs during my times deployed gave me the opportunity to get my hands on a real MK12 for some range time. Hands down a better platform that the M14s we had.

My last tour in Iraq I used a issue M4 with optics and 77 OTM in a DMR role for the team I led. Performed quite well out to 400-450 meters with only sixteen inch barrel.

Folks need to remember that a DM with a DMR is not a sniper. The whole role of a DMR is to cover those intermediate ranges and when the need arises provide heavy volumes of fire in close engagements. For the MK12 that of course meant a ruined barrel once the fun switch was flipped (many MK12s had the full auto feature as they were built on A-1 lowers) but a ruined barrel is better than being dead, LOL.

Hope that clarifies this. Don’t get overly wrapped up in the caliber.

Regards.

Wow, some beautiful weapons, here’s my pea shooter😁

Okay I’ll play too:

My Stag Arms 5.56 with RRA 2 stage competition trigger, YHM freefloat, Spikes H2 buffer, Nikon P223 3x scope and P series mount, Ruger/Troy buis, and Magpul furniture.

(Should be DPR in my case though…since this is another “Designated Predator Rifle” )

Currently working on a 300 Blackout build to add into this role as well. (Going to base it on running the supersonic Barnes 110 TSX)

Believe it or not I don’t have a pea shooter like that, but I want one!
How do you like the Magpul stock?
