Dennis Seavey-Windsinger's Review of Aero Precision M5 20in .308 Winchester RM15 Complete Upper Receiver
Just did a test run of my latest build: an Aero Precision M5 based .308. Set the rifle up with a 20" barrel, rifle length gas system, rifle length buffer, Atlas hand guard, BCM Enhanced FCG, Magpul fixed stock, Leopold mount and SIG Saur 3x12x44 scope. Ran a variety of factory 7.62x51 and .308 ammo without adjusting the gas block without a single malfunction. While this is not a light rifle it is only marginally more cumbersome than my Remington 700 in .30-06. The rifle carries just fine through the woods with a 2 point sling. The rifle feels solid and the fit and finish are much better than a working rifle needs to be. The scope is clear, sighting in was a breeze and it was really easy to rapidly acquire targets at 3x. This is the softest shooting.308 I have ever fired. Follow up shots was quick and accurate. If you are looking for uber light this is not your rifle. But, if you are looking for a rifle that does its job and then some, give the M5 platform a look.
Pros:
Quality fit and finish
Solid, soft shooting, reliable
Cons:
None
Best Used for:
I think this rifle will do anything a .308 should do and then some
Would Recommend:
Yes
