(First AR15 was made in 1957). Anyway, I would look at the Savage MSR-10 if you can find one. They are new, small frame, very well thought-out. ArmaLite DEF-10 is another great option, probably the large frame to beat in terms of value and price point. Another would be the DPMS GII. |

You should be able to get a DPMS GII and still have a couple hundo left over for a trigger, mags, ammo, adj gas block, handguard, etc.
My understanding is the Savage isnt out yet. The small-frame 308's are newer tech, DPMS has worked out their bugs in the 2 years since release. I generally avoid the first run of new car and gun designs, since they all seem to come off the assembly line with at least a few small issues. Have you seen anything to indicate this will not be the case with the Savage MSR-10? |
