jimmy, i don't know what kind of rifle that is, but if you're worried about it, you might try a monitoring service, wrist band, or the patch... you know... in case it falls and can't get up.

Not too worry Mr. Jones, I use expensive vision correction equipment to prevent vertigo and the possibility of falling. ![[Linked Image]](http://i243.photobucket.com/albums/ff205/Jimmyp50/HiResolutionBinoculars.jpg)

what is the latest on your Gen2 hunter?  I looked at their Gen2 hunter compact in .260 remington but it seemed to feature a 1-10 twist... I then regained my sanity...

it fills a niche between hobbyists and soldiers, specifically para leo enthusiasts who don't really want to shoot, just stop, drop and roll. ![[Linked Image]](http://i817.photobucket.com/albums/zz92/djones53/24hr/IMG_0419_zpspxzflwcx.jpg)

FWIW:
Both my DPMS 308s have run flawlessly through thousands of rounds
I actually am wearing out my BCG on one of them. No failures
Of course, I maintain them . . .

it works for every shot for now has good accuracy, but who knows....I may have the poor SR-762 at the range one day and it may just see a SCAR17 and just suffer a complete breakdown.

The biggest risk you face is watching my DPMS runs smoothly all day

I think DPMS "originals" are fine...with the G2 they lightened the carrier but used the old barrels with the same size gas port...of course by that time the accountants had fired all the engineers and hired ex McDonald fry cooks to bolt them together and answer questions on the phone. This team simply has no idea what the hell was going on, they had my G2 for a few months and finally I just said "please give me my money back". Is DPMS owned by Remington or Leupold??

i'm getting to the point where i might want to hang more crap off the forearm, and the round one from dpms isn't rail friendly. plus, the receiver is extra high, and railed forearms don't line up. i might not mind a step down from the receiver rail to the forearm rail, but if i have a hobby gun now, that might just put me in the toy gun category.

Get a G2, but be prepared to put an adjustable gas block on it...

SWFA has a Seekins on sale for $700 off, making it around $1800 for Black Friday.
Seekins stuff ain't half bad.
