I just bought a great AR at a good price. I have a DPMS AR in .308 and luv it. No issues at all. My only complaint is 18 inch barrel,Tripod and scope it weighs 15 lbs way to much to lug around in woods.
I wanted another one to take HOG hunting and for the home. The .556(223) is great but I wanted a little more fire power. All of the .308 ARs were either more money then I wanted to spend or a little on the heavy side. I a good size guy but lug a rifle around all day and evry little bit of extra weight adds up.
The I saw her she was my dream come true. Sold at Cabelas only. A DPMS Sportical AR in 7.62x39. Went and looked at gun and fell in love with it. Gun comes with 2--30 round clips,Adj stock and she weighs about 6 lbs M/T. Has a rail on top were I mounted a Red Dot. It just needs a sling and she is ready to go. Here was the Deal breaker I bought her for 729.00. DPMS make good rifles. Its worth a look at.
The 7.62 give u more punch then a .556. The AKs I looked at were good but I wanted a little better quality rifle.. This rifle answered that for me. Do a search DPMS sportical rifle in 7.62x39 and you can see pics.
