It`s definitely a sharp looking rifle, however DPMS`s new 308 cal. AR Rifle is about half the price and is very reliable from what I am hearing. I think the biggest hurdle firearms manufacturers have to overcome is reliability issues when it comes to the big 308/762×39 platform, second is weight. just my two cents.
