i had a thought which was brought on by a 'wednesday night on the range' commercial...
the thought was that in an ar-15 type rifle/carbine, the 338 federal or 358 winchester might actually make sense. i have a couple of ar-15's and like them well enough, but my gripe w/ ar-15's is they are usually not portable - at least not for deer hunting purposes, though they are fantastic varmint guns.
so my questions: how much like an ar-15 is the dpms version in 338 federal? how much, if any, modularity is there? what is mag availability and cost like? and finally... can the gun be had in a lightweight version?
i'm really likeing the idea of an ar-15-ish gun in a heavy-hitter chambering, and dpms may have breathed some life into the 338 federal if their rifle is any good...
