So it's new rifle time, at least it will be around November, and I'm having lots of trouble making a final decision, so any advice/information/past experiences/suggestions or recomendations are welcome.
I want a long range rifle, probably .308 because I can afford it and it won't wear barrels out too quickly, but thats about as far as I've come. I've looked at the AR-10(T), the DPMS panther - specifically one with an A3 upper reciever and a free floated 24" stainless bbl from rguns.com, Savage 10FPs, 12s and Remington 700s.
Has anyone used www.rguns.com?
Any thoughts on the AR-10(T) vs. the DPMS Panther? If I get an AR I want
it to have a dust cover and forward assist.
I know the Savage stock on the 10FP and 12 series is garbage, so I want either the H-S precision stock or the McMillan one. I hear McMillan can take a while to arrive, is that true? Is it that much better than the H-S one? I've got no experience with McMillan and my only experience with H-S is the M-24. I hear a lot of bad noise about the Savage Accu-trigger, whats the story behind that, does it really suck or is it just other brand loyalists causing trouble?
Maybe I'm just being stupid but I can't find the M-24 package on Remington's site anymore. Probably more than I want to spend anyway. Actually I can't find any of Remington's tactical rifles, except for that mutant 7615 or whatever its called, the thing that looks like a bunch of AR and 870 parts got jumbled together.
I seem to remember DSArms making a bolt gun a while back but I couldn't find it last time I looked (about a month ago). Does anyone have anything to say about them?
How long should I plan to wait for a rifle if I order one? I'll only be home a couple weeks.
I guess thats about it. Sorry for the randomness and the rambling.
