Found a new DPMS for 800$

[sta500rdr]

After much research I finally went and made my decision. They had a Sabre Defence for 895$ and a DPMS Panther Classic for 800$. I held them both, played around with them a bit, and the DPMS felt much better to me. Plus at first appearance it looks like a much higher quality product. The Sabre Defence just looked cheap to me. Thank you for everyone's help, and I am sure I will have more questions in the future. If anyone is looking for a decent selection at good prices Jay's Sporting Goods in Gaylord, MI is the place to go. Their prices have always been much lower than anyone else I have seen.

 

[W.E.G.]

As the general availability of cash for discretionary spending declines, and as the panic-demand is sated, we can expect middle-of-the-country (figuratively speaking) places like this to start receiving regular inventory again, and prices will begin to settle back toward what they were when the panic struck in mid-November.

I agree with W.E.G.....ppl are spending their christmas savings on firearms and justifiying the purchases on the election. So I hope that I am right by saying that once the new year starts we will see a drop in price. However it will not get down to pre-election prices.

Congrats on the new addition. Named her yet? So now do you have a list of accessories to add?

 

[FlyinBryan]

sounds like you got a really good deal.

i dont have a dpms rifle, but every single person ive known to have them are very satisfied once they shoot them.

keep her clean and oiled and she will last you a lifetime.

now we expect a range report!!!!

No name for her yet. Oh wait.... Charlene Sir!

I have had it in my posession for only about 3 hours so far, not a single round through it yet, and I am accessory shopping already. This is not good. Why wasn't I warned?

Dang that aint a bad pricefor a DPMS, especially with the panic in full swing.

EBR mania is in full swing and you still got a good price. Congrats, enjoy the rifle.

In the first month I had my DPMS I think I spent a few hundred on accessories for it. And spent more since, yet it already had some aftermarket goodies on it.

 

[cavemandave1975]

verry good price with the price gouging goin on lol

 

[hadmanysons]

Do it! That's an awesome price pre or post Nov 4th. You could use the money you save to buy a better BCG and trigger and stuff. Good find.

The Sabre is not a "cheap" AR15. Looks can be a personal opinion thing, but Sabre produces quality products. I recall in the past that people have said the same thing about DPMS.

In any case, you found two AR15s that were priced right.

How about that Sportical?

 

[Mike2]

Pretty sweet deal!!!

 

[moooose102]

GOOD 4 U! i want one, but finances right now will not permit it. if i can still get one, maybe in june or july i will be out of hock enough to buy one. i am thinking dpms also.

 

[DarkCharisma]

Good find--I got my DPMS for 750+tax in November, which came out to $803. You will NOT be dissapointed. It's a very well put together gun.

Man, I would have gotten that Sabre Defence in a heart beat. Not knocking DPMS, but all AR "look" the same. But, for that extra $95, the Sabre gives you military-grade barrel steel, chrome lined barrel, M4 feed ramp. I know, I know, different strokes for different folks. I would have grabbed two Sabre at that price.

Congrats on you DPMS.
