I was cruising the interweb at another forum where I am a member when I stumbled across a thread title "DPMS best start" so I clicked! Once inside the op stated that after looking around he has made his mind up that DPMS is his brand of choice going on to say that throne he was looking at was $1000.00!!! I offered some friendly advise after going to Bravo Co, and Grants site about being able to buy a BCM rifle for about the same or less then a grand! I also offered a break down of what the BCM would include as far as parts and components, then a bunch of dude jumped on my case telling him to get the DPMS and it is a great rifle and with suit him fine and more or less made me out to be a snob which was not intended! I thought I was trying to steer someones the right direction! Did I cross a line?
This was my post to him!
Here you could have a complete BCM (Bravo Company Manufacturing) AR15 for less or close. While I don't have anything against DPMS, I think you would have to look long and hand to find someone to tell you that DPMS is better the BCM! DARE I REFERENCE "THE CHART"
Now while I don't believe the chart is the perfect answer for newbies, it should help you make a informed decision, and iF you take a look at the chart you will see that the BCM is as good or better in every category, which brings me to my conclusion!
WHY PAY MORE OR THE SAME FOR LESS!
