I have the opportunity to get either a DPMS RFA3-L16 or a CORE15 Scout M4.
They appear to be pretty similar, both fixed front sight, flat top with no rear sight. Both are roughly the same price so that isn't an issue. I plan on putting a decent scope on it eventually. My rank of importance 1. accuracy 2. reliability 3. fit 4. warranty I was just wondering what your opinions were about which you thought might be a better choice for me. I haven't heard much about the CORE15 but don't want to dismiss it because of that. Thanks. Brett |

The Core 15 appears to be a way better product. I've been working in a gun shop for a while, and I've handled plenty of each over the last 7 months, and the Core 15 appears to be a clear winner in quality. I haven't shot any of these yet, but if I were going to buy one over the other, it'd be the Core 15 product. Not to mention their warranty doesn't care if your the 1st owner, or the 3rd owner.

| I probably won't check this thread but pm with questions. I bough a moe core 15 m4. I bought it to use on duty. It was between that and bushmaster. I don't regret my purchase at all. Out of the box it was hitting a man sized target at 50 yards with irons. Still needs to be dialed in but you can't complain. For and finish is good. Haven't put a whole bunch of ammo through it because I can't get much and I'm saving the little that I do have. Their cs is great. I changed the plate to a magpul ASAP. Only problem was the castle nut was too tight. It actually bent the armorers wrench. One email and I had a prepaid ups label. One week later I had my rifle back with a new castle nut and my plate installed. I would definitely go core 15. There isn't a whole lot out there but I know that they're an up and coming company |

A friend of mine has a core15 and is happy with it. It's gone through a few classes and been 100% reliable. But that is one and only core example I know of so take it for what it's worth.
I have seen too many failures in DPMS to trust them as anything but a prarie poodle rifle. Every one of them has been VERY accurate, 16" 20" 24", but too many BCG and other failures. I guess you would be ok if you wanted to buy a new rifle and then buy a new BCG for it.
