ARES AR-308L
DELUXE VERSION
Ares’ 308 series comprises three models, the AR-308S, AR-308M and AR-308L, and today we will focus on the last one. The name of the replica already reveals a lot about what we are going to find, AR as in ArmaLite, the company that created the AR-15 (and later sold it to Colt) creating the legend of the M4 and the .308 cartridge, which is the name of the commercial version of the 7.62x51 NATO cartridge. So when you bring both parts together, we have an M4 model in DMR calibre that ARES offers in three different lengths. And today we bring you the one that we liked the most, the longest one and, on top of that, in the Deluxe version.
ARES AR-308
ARES and Amoeba are two different brands that collaborate to create this series of replicas in which we can see the joint markings and the parts in which each one leaves the print of their brand, to show this collaboration. Furthermore, these replicas are launched in addition to the standard version, something that in the case of these brands is really remarkable. They come in a deluxe package that includes the accessories, so that you look cool with it just out of the box.

Details
The details, when put together, make you fall in love with this ARES series. The first thing that you notice is the RAL8000-style bronze colour of the G28, a different design from the classic black. What is more, the magazines are not only 7.62, which also makes the model different, but its style design is similar to the PMAG 20 LR/SR GEN M3 which makes it even more attractive.
The Case
Not to mention the accessories that come in the deluxe package. Let's start with the rigid case with four metal closures to protect the replica from the elements. While, inside, the replica will fit perfectly into the plastic mould made expressly for it, which is caressed by the foam in which the lid is covered.
Accesories
The case is prepared to carry, in addition to the replica, the silencer with USMC markings that is attached above the muzzle. The backlit telescopic sight with 11 intensity levels, 1-6x magnification and 24mm, ½ MOA adjustments and anti-flare grille on the front lens. Not forgetting the Giselle style scope mount itself which includes a level to make sure we hold the replica straight and the hop can create the right effect.
Summary
In short, a replica with which to hit the target. It’s just a matter of choosing between the standard version and the Deluxe version with all the accessories for a little more money.
