Either one will do the trick......I have a DPMS 20" SS bull barrel and like it a lot, but, have shot Bushmasters and like them too.........my next upper will probably be a DPMS 24" SS bull barrel...........

Quoted: ive made my final cut between these two. prices are similar, bushmaster is chrome lined dpms has the bull barrel and is sts. my head really hurts from all this research. Exactly what jem375 said. But don't expect to get any unbias opinions from this board as about 37% use Bushmaster and that's all they will recommend (everybody thinks their brand is the best). I'd get the DPMS just because I think the snake icon of the Bushmaster looks gay.

I have a DPMS 16' Bull and I like it a lot, I havent shot a Bushmaster but I do like the name "Bushmaster". The DPMS does the same thing and I've seen they come a little less expensive if you look around.

Personally, I like the RRA due to the 1:7 twist(they also make 1:12). I can shoot 50gr up to 77gr. Bushmaster only makes the 1:9 and not sure about DPMS. Also if your wanting this to be an "accuracy gun" go for the non-chrome lined.

I have the Lo Pro 16' Bull, the performance is not affected by not having the dust cover and the Foward Assist. You might like the Mil-spec look, but a 24' Stainless BBL isnt gonna look mil-spec no matter what's on the reciever. if anything it just has less parts to clean.
My baby (Black Jesus) has a 1/9 twist which is a good compromise, you can use 55 grain for plinking up to 68 grain match ammo. I would post pics but I need a site to host my pics |

I have a SS 24" Bull Bbl from JT its real accurate and functions fine. Not chrome lined but like said before if you want accuracy stay away from chrome lined.

RRA makes somre real nice stuff...so does Armalite, and DPMS, in addition to Bushmaster.
You really can't go wrong with a name brand, IMHO...just get one you want/can afford, or think is the coolest. Then enjoy the hell out of it, and tell anyone here who doesn't like your choice to piss off hehehe. |

Given a choice of DPMS or Bushmaster, I'd buy ArmaLite or Rock River Arms.
[flame] [devil] [flame] ETA- For you DPMS who think that Bushy's logo is gay, why would you want a KITTY-CAT on your rifle? [:D] |

Quoted: ETA- For you DPMS who think that Bushy's logo is gay, why would you want a KITTY-CAT on your rifle? [:D] You're right! The cat logo is kinda gay also. But they don't stamp a big ol' cat logo on their lowers (at least not on MY DPMS). In a fight, I'd take my chances against a snake over a panther any day. |

And the only way a bushmaster can hurt you is if you don't see it first. A panther don't need to hide. |
