DPMS versus Armalite

[ohshooter]

I looking for pro's, con's, and opions on which to buy. I'm going with the AR 10 platform.

Yup, this IS the humor and off topic section.:kidding:

moved...

I'm curious as well. The big difference I notice is the Armalite is about 500 bux more.

Ken, Where did this get moved?

Here is a link to a comparison of M4 style carbines:

Even though it's for 5.56mm weapons, it is reasonable to expect some correlation to a manufacturer's .308 rifles. In other words, you don't get exactly the same thing for a lower price. Will you notice the difference between them? It depends on how much and how hard you use the rifle.

I have or had 23 DPMS Rifles and 5 Armalite AR-10's. There both good.

My vote is for Armalite

i have two ar-10's an ar10(t) and a custom built br ar10. both are armalite. both are great. i know nothing of the dpms rifles, other than they were smart to use an existing mag for thier gun . hopefully it means no long drawn out r/d at the customers expense( armalite is on rev 3 or 4 of thier mags)

I have fired a couple of versions of the DPMS .308 rifles (DPMS is made here in MN). I was favorably impressed, the American Rifleman review was positive too. No experience with the Armalie AR-10 yet.

if you ever see a NEGATIVE review ON A GUN IN A MAJOR GUN MAG LET US KNOW.
GUN TEST BEING THE EXCEPTION

Ive never owned but have shot the armalite. I do own a ar10 dpms and there both good guns.

No experience with DPMS rifles but I do own an Armalite AR-10 rifle. If wont feed 168 grain HPBT's worth a damn but it will shoot them into tiny groups. Feeding problem goes away with 150 grain SPT's. Being left-handed, I would probably look at Stag Arm's AR's if I were in the market for that platform. Just my 2 cts.

Worth the wait.

If you need it now, go Armalite.
