    You might even save 6-8ozs swapping out the furniture to Magpul Moe. A quick search reveled a 6920 with Moe furniture for $1,120. Unfortunately the seller did not list the weight of the rifle Moe-equipped.
    Seriously? You recommend a $1200 rifle to a guy looking for an affordable rifle for his wife to plink a couple hundred rounds a year with?

    As someone who has been down the DPMS road you either pay for it now or you pay for it later.

    Per the OP he already owns a ceap, light plikner that is working. If he wants to go up in quality and stay light it's going to cost him.

    At the very least get a new lower.
    The upper, shoot it until you shoot the barrel out, or have the money to buy a good upper.

    They are illigetimate weapons that have no real purpose other than to attract retards to the gun community.

    $990.00 for a 6920! If you live on the border "Location: Border Wars Territory"! Teach her to cover your back.... 6920 resale will have much better value too!

    If you read the op's question, he is looking for better quality while maintaining similar weight and price (and for his wife). While that may not be a realistic expectation, there are surely options between $500 and $1200. His wife doesn't need a 6920, she fires 100-200 rounds a year. I agree with you about buying quality an buying once but my needs are different from this guy's wife.

    I have to add if the wife is your only back-up for defending the homestead I would suggest she fires only your best defensive ammo while training so she knows how the rifle will print and recoil while you proof the rifle with the good stuff. I believe that you made a wise choice which accomplishes what you need it to do, a cheap, light weight little used plinker that runs 100%.

    It isn't $1200, and yes, I'd recommend one for his wife...

    If his wife isn't worth the $1000 for a bare bones starting rifle, he needs to get his priorities straightened out.

    There is NO SUCH thing as reliable and cheap.

    If he wants a rifle for his wife, he should sell the one he has and put the money towards a SP6920...
