Re: rock river 308
As much as I like RRA, I can say it won't be better than the DPMS LR Panther. RRA took a long time to work out the bugs on their rifle...and the jury is still out on reliability.

Re: rock river 308
question is, are they even out yet? I havent't seen a single range report on any board.
I have the Bushmaster BAR10, and its in the 1300 serial number range, apparently the first few hundred had overhard bolts( like original Carbon 15s), but later guns were fine.
The Bushmaster BAR10 was the RRA 308 design, they licensed it to Bushy to make, but it suffered from fairly poor sales, since the Armalite and DPMS rifles already had the majority of the market locked up.
I'll have to say tho, mine has been utterly reliable, and I've regularly hit a 6" tall 2" wide bottle of tannerite at 250 m with the factory iron sights, shooting brit surplus FMJ, and its been very comfortable to shoot.
the added bonus is it takes the metric FAL mags i use with my FALs
I hope that RRA gets thier shit together, I want a 16" flttop carbine upper and a collapsing stock

Re: rock river 308
I've seen the same one at a few gunshows but it was pretty expensive and had a lot of crap already mounted on it.

Re: rock river 308
the BAR10 and the RRA 308 accept FAL mags....they are essentially the same gun, made by 2 different makers, as RRA licensed the design to Bushmaster, but are now making it themselves, since Bushmaster suffered poor sales.

Re: rock river 308
I may have to get one of the RRA's when they are out. It would be nice to use my FAL mags in two different rifles.

Re: rock river 308
I'm partial to DPMS and love my 308 dearly, it's been an extremely accurate and reliable gun for me, fairly in-expensive too (sub 1k with custom options). I also belive that RRA "don't make no junk" and when they are ready to release it....the gun will be "ready" as well.
