Description
When the situation demands precision at distance, but you need a platform that’s more agile than a full-length sniper rifle, you need a purpose-built tool. That’s where the DPMS 18 GII SASS 308 18″ Barrel Magpul Furniture & Sights, Bipod 20 Rd Mag comes in. It’s a semi-automatic, .308 caliber precision rifle built on the robust GII platform, featuring an 18-inch barrel, Magpul furniture and sights, and a bipod for immediate field-ready deployment. This package delivers long-range capability in a more maneuverable, rapid-firing format than a bolt-action, making it a serious contender for tactical scenarios and extended-range target work.
Look, the .308 Winchester cartridge is a proven man-stopper and target-taker. Pairing it with a reliable, gas-operated semi-auto like the DPMS GII SASS means you can deliver follow-up shots without breaking your cheek weld or losing your sight picture. The 18-inch barrel is the sweet spot—it maintains excellent ballistic performance for the .308 while keeping the overall length manageable for vehicle use or moving through tighter spaces. The rifle ships with a 20-round magazine, giving you substantial capacity right from the start. At $1693.87, this is a complete, no-excuses package that’s drop-in ready for your next training course or competition stage.
Key Features & Build
The heart of this system is the DPMS GII receiver set, engineered specifically for the .308/7.62x51mm round for enhanced reliability over adapted AR-10 platforms. The upper and lower fit together with a solid lockup, a critical detail for maintaining zero on optics and ensuring consistent performance. The Magpul MOE stock and pistol grip provide a familiar, ergonomic interface, while the included Magpul MBUS flip-up sights offer instant backup if your primary optic fails. The included bipod attaches directly to the rifle’s handguard, giving you a stable shooting platform from prone or a bench in seconds. No gunsmithing required; this rifle is assembled and ready for your chosen optic and zeroing process.
Weighing in at approximately 9.5 pounds unloaded, the GII SASS has a substantial, steady feel that aids in recoil management and off-hand stability. The 18-inch barrel is cold hammer-forged for durability and features a 1:10 twist rate, which stabilizes a wide range of .308 bullet weights effectively. The rifle’s controls are mil-spec compatible, meaning you can easily swap parts like the charging handle or safety selector with a vast array of aftermarket AR-10 components. It’s a system designed for the shooter who understands that consistency breeds confidence.
