Agree with the order, but the gap between S&W and DPMS is pretty big.

of course custom manufacturers are going to be thought of higher than the "Box Store" gun manufacturers.

Thank you for replies: guys. Basically DPMS is way below and I should stay away.


I have heard really good things about the S & W VTAC model. Anyone here with experience with them?

Within the next hour or so I'm going to post a list of models from each manufacturer that fit my criteria. And with the help from the good folks here at the OB board I might be able to make up my mind from all the choices and actually pick one, order it and then go blast the mother fricker and report back

I'd say S&W and DPMS are very close. Both companies have value ARs in the 500-700 range. Both produce a solid high end AR around $1000.
