It's difficult to offer definitive input when in regards to two such disparate rifles.
Opinions should run the gamut of 'yes! definitely!', to 'are you kidding? Why would you even consider such a trade?'
Both are good platforms but with different appeal and uses.
Most of the opinions should be centered around what your planned use will be. That will determine the platform. Also the difference between the cartridges is significant both in cost as well as performance.
The DPMS is basically a battle rifle whereas the CDL is a wood stock hunting rifle with an O.K. scope on it. If the CDL hasn't been pillar bedded, it should be.
I would find out the round count on the Remington and examine the barrel/throat before making any kind of decision.
The scope is nothing to brag about but it is a decent quality.
Sit down and assess the potential uses and cost of operation for both to help you make an informed opinion.
Best.
