remington r25 or dpms lrt sass.
 

Which would you perfer the remington r25 or the dpms lrt sass. I like both. The sass is a good bit more but it comes with the chrome rec, bipod,the weird pistol grip in the pic, the quad rail and a few other cheap add ons for 2400. The r25 is 1500 at gander 1200 online. But the quad rail is like 400 bucks so thats makes up alot of the extra cost.
i will be using this for a target shooter out to low shots. Plus deer hunting in ky and other rifle states. I am leaning toward the sass as it looks good and has most everything i want, Sure it is not camo but i can deal with that.
Which would you rather have. What is the general opinion on both

Also with the dpms setup like in the pic is that a good price at 2400 or would i be better buying the 308 rifle then adding everything else.

Tim, Seriously don't you think that that a SASS rifle is a little overkill for deer hunting? If you want a black rifle with a quad rail you could build one yourself for less money than the R25. Also, don't overlook the 7mm-08 in this size AR.

LOl ya but i want to do some long range shooting with a larder cal that will work for hunting. I want a Ar anyway. My only thing is i wonder if the sass is worth the cash for it vs building the same gun. Guess i need to check the extras on it to what the price of the stock gun plus me adding the extras. But yes the sass is over kill. But why not not like it is a 50 bmg.

It's not overkill in the sense that the 50 bmg is, but I built SASS rifles for Knights Armament Company. A little tip, if it's built for the goverment to use as a weapon of war, it costs more than it needs to be. For example, I just bought a free float quad rail forearm from Yankee Hill Machine (their black diamond version in mid length, very cool) for $130 shipped. If you bought a rail from my old company, it would cost you $600-$800; and functionally it wouldn't do anything that the Yankee Hill one can't do. I hate to see you spend way too much money just because you fell in love with something, and didn't weigh your options before buying.

Oh, and by the way. For the past two years DPMS, Bushmaster and Remington are all one in the same company, their all three owned by Cerberus Capital Management. I've been doing a lot of looking on the internet for you Tim. A few things that stand out in my mind, R25- 20"barrel and the gun weighs 8 3/4 lbs empty, the DPMS - for a self proclaimed sniper system it only has an 18" barrel and weighs 11 1/2 lbs empty.

I'd opt R-25 7mm-08. I don't know about you, but I don't need flashlights and lazer beams and flash hiders and whatever else you can fit on one of those. Some stuff just ain't worth a hoot for hunting/shooting.

I do not need the lazer and flasg light for anything. There extra. My thought was the sass had the bipod and the quad rail plus the ergo grip and the good sniper stock

Bipods are easy to get, and what would you use the quad rail for then? And believe me, you wouldn't be the first person to go without an ergonomic sniper super-duper stock :D

Tim, Z is right on. If you're not mounting a flashlight and a laser you don't need the quad rail. Yes it looks cool, but they're actually uncomfortable and if you put covers on the rail they get very fat. If you don't mount a light and a laser, and you put covers over the rail so that the slots don't cut your hand when you fire, you just wind up with an uncomfortable version of what Remington gives you for a lot more money. You can buy a bi-pod a Walmart for $40. Flashiders do not help accuracy, at best your accuracy will stay the same as it would be without one. As far as stocks go, there are hundreds of different ones to chose from, all for under $100; I doubt that you'll find the Remington to be a bad one. That Magpul stock on the DPMS is totally unnecessary, you're not going to miss a deer if you don't adjust you length of pull by 1/8" at the last second, not worth the $255 that they charge. This is the overkill that I'm talking about.
