The 6.8 Rem Special is a newer round they are trying to get the military to use. It hits more like the 7.62X39 round but has the recoil of a 223. NOt that the 7.62 round has much recoil. DPMS are good AR-15s. Im currently looking at a Rock River Arms but cant decide which one i want. From what ive shot in the 7.62X39 round it is not very accurate. Ive shot it in a few AK-47s and SKSs and also in a bolt rifle.

DPMS makes a really good rifle. Rock river too. Just gotta look at them and see which has features you're looking for. Are you looking for 7.62x39 or 7.62x51 nato (essentially 308 win)?

"From what ive shot in the 7.62X39 round it is not very accurate."

The crap ammo on the market for the 7.62X39mm, in particular the stuff from Russia, the former Soviet-bloc nations, and China, is terrible! But the 7.62X39mm is VERY ACCURATE. It just has to be loaded carefully with good bullets and a correct powder charge! Then it has to be fired from a PRECISION RIFLE-not an SKS, or worse yet, an AK!
