I also like the DPMS LR-260 in 260 Rem. It's very similar to the LR-308 with a couple of the "upgrades" as standard equipment. And the high BC 6.5mm bullets would make it a great LR rifle. Decisions...decisions!!

I looked at the Armalites, but they must think that they're made of gold if their asking prices are any indicator. The DPMS's seem like a better value. I priced out a rifle spec'd out the way I'd want it (which is basically fully loaded), and it would have an MSRP of $1850 assembled by DPMS. I'd bet actual price would be $1700 or less. Armalite wanted $2200+ for their base models.

I've thought about the RRA rifles and I like them a lot. I live about 75 miles from their factory in the Quad Cities, and they'll allow me to pick the rifle up at the factory if I wanted to.
