Overview
Built as a foundation for a long-range target rifle, this upper is chambered in 6.5 Creedmoor and intended for shooters assembling a precision-focused setup. It fits DPMS GEN 1 LR-308 lower receivers and clones, and it accepts a DPMS-compatible bolt/carrier group and charging handle selected by the user. Aero Precision includes a 416R stainless steel target barrel with a 1-8" twist, while leaving the BCG and charging handle out for those who prefer to choose those parts separately. For hunters and range shooters who want a purpose-built upper for distance work, it offers a straightforward starting point without unnecessary extras.
