Will do. Never had a DPMS. The Remington is quite a bit more. Wasn't sure about the quality of DPMS. Have several friends in LE and they've been pleased with their's. I couldn't care less about the camo finish. I'll be doing most of my damage at night. We are infested with "educated" hogs. They're hard to trap. They will also swim the river and our duck hole to avoid dogs. So I'm going hi-tech on their asses.

My suggestion would be to hop on Budsgunshop.com and check out the reviews on each. The DPMS I would suggest is the LR308-AP4, which is their 16" version. The AR10 platform is inherently heavy so the shorter barrel would probably be best for you. The R25 .308 reviews I read said it's lightweight, so that may be the niche of the R25. Regardless, both seem like good rifles, so whatever you go with should suit you just fine.

Also, stay away from the crappy factory magazines. Get some Pmags and your troubles will end, even if they never began.

EDIT: Both will put a hurtin' on some hogs. .308 hits so much harder than .223. They'll be DRT.
