    I owned & prefer the AR50, hard to beat the pressures the AR50 is designed for.
    Quality is outstanding.

    On a AR10, I would buy a M1a1 and get it over with. Better platform IMHO for 308.

    DPMS, I have not had good luck with their stuff. The fit & finnish is not up to par, per say, as with Bushy, Colt & Rock River.
    But the DPMS (2 AR's) did run, but were not pretty in finnish work, just dont like their work.

    I have built a bunch of AR rifles and I prefer DPMS for the fit,finish & function over Bushmaster. The accuracy is much better in the comparisons that I have done. RRA is a close second and they make a good product. I haven't had the chance to cpmpare accuracy but from the fit and finish I believe that it will be very good. The DPMS 308 rifles are very accurate and usually less exspensive than the Armalite. Both DPMS 24" rifles I shot would shoot 1/2" groups at 100yds. I recently shot a DPMS AP4 308 and thought it was great but I did not shoot it for acccuracy so I can't attest for that. I have shot both DPMS and Armalite 308's and the quality is very good. As far as AR 50cal rifles. Take a look at the A.L.S. (Advanced Long range Systems) These rifles are made by the owner and the fit and quality is excellent. He uses Pac-Nor barrels and his AR 50cal rifles have set 3 world records and have won a bunch of 50cal matches. I have shot them quite a bit and have been very impressed. Darran is great to deal with and is very helpful with questions. www.50bmg.net

    I have really liked the quality of the RRA and have been dissapointed in the quality of the DPMS. I have not had a chance to handle and shoot the other brands.
