SASS? Should I?

I was looking at a DPMS Panther SASS and was wondering if anyone had one and if they liked it.

SASS in .308 is reliable and accurate. Mags are cheap and plentiful. What's not to like?

the SR-25 is twice the money for barely any better performance.

These two weapons went head to head and the United States Army decided otherwise.

If i ever get a SASS which i want to eventually it will be knight armco. Ridiculously overpriced? Sure it is but it's also one of my favorite sniper rifles to be used by the military and to own one would just be so awesome to me.

If you like it, get it!
Or, hold out for the $$/military version.

ArmaLite AR10 is my personal choice.
Works for me.

Hmmmm

I would get the Fulton Armory Titan setup instead. In my personal experience DPMS's build quality is very hit or miss while with Fulton nearly all of their work is national match grade.

SASS are built pretty well from what I hear. My brother has the mini-SASS and it shoots very well.
