Is this rifle any good? For the price it looks really nice... but would appreciate some input from you rifle experts here on the forum!

Alot of bang for the buck

DPMS makes a quality product.

it is pretty good deal for an ok rifle... my brother has a dpms ar and it is ok... but not impressive. the ar-10's are supposed to be good though.

 

keep in mind... it comes with a flash hider, and a collapsible stock, so throw in $100 or so on top to replace the flash hider with a muzzle break, and to have the stock pinned. throw in shipping/transfer... and I would rather spend a few more bucks and order an NJ compliant Smith Wesson M&P 15.

Let's not forget the bayonet lug, too.

Thanks Maks,

 

A friend of mine was telling me the same just a minute ago... He's got one of these: My link , and man I am so envious!!!

eh, they are amazing rifles... but for most people... over kill. =)

Yeah, it's a pretty expensive piece of equipment for sure. He shoots competitively... 3-Gun competitions and etc... So all his guns are top-notch stuff.

ooops! Sorry, you're right.

I would also say, if you know what you want... and are handi-capable.. build your own...

 

Buy a lower, lower parts kit, and then buy a complete upper. If you want a precision upper, White Oak Arnament is hard to beat for the price and quality that you are getting. Also, keep an eye out on Aim Surplus and the likes... for complete uppers for around $450 or so. $200 to $250 for lower, lower parts kit and stock... and you are good to go at the same price.

Looks like a good deal on a good rifle. To bad we live in Jerz buds won't even think about shipping that here.
