The last two have a shorter barrel with a long flash hider...just my opinion but I don't care for the looks of the long flash hider. Your first choice is not too bad...but if your looking to spend up to $799 like what your 2nd choice would cost I would look at the Panther Classic 16. You get a heavier barrel for the same price. I would go this route if you can afford it now: Panther Classic 16 $799.00 Chrome Lined Bore & Chamber in a 4140 Chrome-Moly Steel Barrel $32.00 JP Adjustable trigger $139.95 Total of 970.95 Depending on what you want to do and how much you want to spend. I went with the DPMS Panther Classic 16 and added the following: Barrel Upgrade: Cryo-Accurizing Barrel Upgrade: Barrel Fluting - Full Flutes Chrome Lined Bore & Chamber in a 4140 Chrome-Moly Steel Heavy Barrel 6-Position AP4 Stock (this had a slight wobble to it, so I bought a Vltor stock) Meprolight Front and Rear Sight Free Float 4-Rail Carbine Handguard JP Adjustable Trigger It cost me just a bit over $1,500 by the time I paid for everything but it is a very accurate rifle. 4" groups at 400 yards, 2" groups at 200 yards with Remington UMC ammo from Walmart. I have since bought some Black Hills match grade ammo and looking for better groups yet. Here is a picture of my Classic 16. Tangodown vertical grip, mounted on A.R.M.S. #17 mount Trijicon TA01 ACOG

If your looking for a cheap AR to get into then you might look into these from CMMG CMMG Bargin Bin AR-15's It would be something to shoot now and buy upgrades for when ever money would allow it. |

www.dpmsinc.com/firearms/firearm.aspx?id=54 www.dpmsinc.com/store/products/?prod=1069 www.dpmsinc.com/store/products/?prod=1066 while i would not buy a complete NIB DMPS, esp for base price, as a 1st or any AR (i'd opt for other brands for similar prices myself)--i'd take the 3rnd one only the sporter is not my tastes; why have a 11.5" bbl when a 16" bbl is more advantageous? |
sportical ? that must be a new rifle, never saw that one before..sure is light 6.3lbs I shot the long break 11.5 barrel , feels good , centered a soda can at 75ft, seemed to have less kick .. |
