Hi guys:

I'd like a semi-auto rifle for varmint/deer hunting. I like rifles in the ".3" caliber because I don't *think* that .223 would bust the brush like we have around here.

I don't want to pay for surgical accuracy (i.e.- FF rail) because I don't *think* I need it.

Maybe an AR-10 is not the best gun for the job.

I don't know and it really doesn't matter what I *think*, so set me straight.

Also, is DPMS considered a reputable company? Or are they the Oly Arms of the 308 AR world?

Thanks a ton!
