UPDATE and pic on last post.*******
Anyone have experience good or bad with the DPMS Sporticale rifle? I have been offered a trade for my Savage 10FCP bolt action .308 precision rifle (worth about $1000 with scope), for one of these DPMS rifles in new condition. my main concern about the DPMS is the slick sided upper which lacks a forward assist and dust cover. Since I am not a LEO nor do I plan on spending any time in the sand box, I don't necessarily know how or if these two things would even affect me. The trade also includes an A2 carrying handle with picatanny rail, and a Machtec BUIS rear sight. UTG A2 style front sight. I want another AR after I had to sell my Smith and Wesson MP15 a few years back but is this a good deal? I would really like to hear reviews....good and/or bad about the DMPS 556 Sportical. Thanks guys |

I bought my 5.56 sportical during the Obama craze...for a net $500 from my local branch of a national SG retailer. Actually, it was $650 but I got a $150 cash card because they were celebrating coming out of bankruptcy (now everyone knows were I got it).
It's fine for what it is, but it's not exactly a precision long-range rifle, knowhattamean? |

Glad I came here and asked. This forum is a wealth of knowledge.
I passed on the DPMS trade. Soon after I received another trade offer which netted me a barely fired Bushmaster M4 A3 Texas DPS model. Came with Quad rail, see through scope mount, extra mags, and a little 4-8x32 scope. All and all I am quite happy and feel that I got a very fair trade for my Savage. Thanks again for the good advice. Now for some quick gun porn.

Yeah, I wouldn't have made either of those trades. That dpms looks like someone went full retard at the UTG tables at a gun show. I believe that's the Bushmaster he traded for. Yeah....it is the Bushmaster that I traded for. I actually like the extended quad rail. The tri rail scope mount.....not so much. It serves the purpose though until I can afford my EoTech and BUIS. Then I will just take the carrying handle off and mount the optic to the flat top. I wanted an AR, and for $1000 (Value) I feel that this Bushy was well worth it. I looked up the gun and it costs $900 new add sales tax and I am already over $1000. Plus all the extras....I liked the deal. I like the UTG table stab though.........but honestly the rail feels solid as rock. I wouldn't have bought UTG myself, but can't see a reason to replace it at this time. |

Eww. Please take off that scope mount. Otherwise, nice boomstick. lol......it is a little gaudy. For now I need it though if I want irons and an optic. Don't have the loot yet for the BUIS and optic that I want, so for now I need the carrying handle on. But you better beleive once I have about $500 to spare it is coming off and being replaced with an Eotech512 and ARMS #2 BUIS |
