I saw one at Cabela's (Tualatin Oregon) yesterday. Nice and light DPMS GII Hunter 60238. It has the carbon fiber handguard with stainless barrel. Everything is teflon coated I believe. Rifle felt like it was around 7.5 pounds and I'd bet it is accurate. Looked like it took Pmags. They wanted $995.00 for it and it was in like new condition. I'm sure if you called them, they would ship to your local Cabela's. I almost bought it, but I already have two good AR10's..
I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA

If no one buys it, I might when I go back to pick up my new Tikka T3 308win.

Thanks for the heads up. I’ll call them tomorrow to see if they’ll transfer it to Little Rock.

Thanks for the heads up. I’ll call them tomorrow to see if they’ll transfer it to Little Rock. Awesome. I hope if someone from here buys it keeps me posted on how it shoots. I have a good feeling about it. Good luck, hopefully its still there. Be warned, there are about 5,600 background checks in the system right now. I bought a Tikka 8 days ago and i'm at 2,000 right now, so I might get it in a few days.. There's a lot of people buying guns right now..

That's weird. My buddy has a DPMS LR308 and never has any issues with it. The G2 compact hunter, that you posted a link to, uses the same lower as the one I saw, but different barrel. Not the exact same rifle.

My DPMS GII Hunter with the 20" bbl is awesome! Never had any issues. Always has fired every time I pull the trigger. With the Nosler-loaded 168gr ABLR, I get around 1/3 MOA groups. Like this American Rifleman reviewer: “The GII Hunter I tested blew me away with its accuracy. I was primarily testing that rifle for our sister publication American Hunter and didn't even plan to include it in this article, but the performance is too impressive to ignore. American Hunter uses three, three-shots groups with three different loads as a test protocol. With the Black Hills 168-gr. load, the first group measured 0.30". That was the best, but the average of three groups was 0.47". The average for all nine groups was 0.80". From an out-of-the-box AR-L shooting factory ammunition, that is very impressive accuracy.” https://www.americanrifleman.org/articles/2020/2/6/review-dpms-gii-ar-308/Here's mine. It’s a killer: Exit wound:

BSA, just bought a new pistol yesterday, the wait now is 6,345! Told me it would be 3 weeks. It is crazy now. They didn’t ask me if I had a CHL.

CHL doesn't mean [bleep] in Oregon. Federal law requires the transfer to be done by an ffl in your state. If there is a waiting period, it is your state.

Two weeks ago I went to pick up a pistol and a lower from the local pawn/FFL. He asked if I had a CHL and took it when he phoned it in. When he got back I asked what that was for (never was asked about a CHL prior to the check before). He said now in Oregon CHL’s go to the head of the line, I wouldn’t have to wait days, only a few minutes. I was out the door in a few minutes. I don’t know why he needed my CHL unless they are calling in the number now.
In the past (pre-COVID frenzy) I’ve been asked numerous times when my check came back right away if I had a CHL and was told it was quicker because I had one.
So it seems it does mean something in Oregon, the check is still done but you move up in line.

dla was seeing the future. “December 12, 2022 - The Oregon State Police (OSP) has previously processed Concealed Handgun License holders at an expedited pace through the Firearms Instant Check System. For years, this practice was efficient and effective. Recently, the unprecedented surge in background requests caused a severe impact on the efficiency of this practice and the overall background process. OSP has recognized this impact and altered the background process to ensure background requests, that are in the "Queue", are processed in the order they are received by the FICS Unit.” https://xn.osp.state.or.us/Fics/

For the longest time, it did matter if you had a CHL. They would move you to the front of the line. It sucks if they aren't doing it now..
