Title: DPMS ORACLE in 308
Post by: PA BEN on November 25, 2016, 04:24:30 PM: I'm going to look at one for these tomorrow for $749.00. Is this a good price and does anybody have anything to say about this gun?

DPMS has been in the AR business for a long time and I think at that price you can't go wrong.

:yeah:

$749 for a 308 is a good price.
- triggers are horrible.

Still playing with ammo but I just got a lead sled and about 12 different bullets to figure it all out.

Just took mine down to Texas for a hog and deer hunt. Made the mistake of trying to hoof it on a 5 mile hike, but it worked great out of a stand.
