You and I differ greatly on the definition of "poor."
Lol....as do I an Reed Knight an his SR25 flavor.....
The DPMS version is a third of the cost at MSRP around here.
IMO the DPMS is just as good if not better as I have fired both many times at work an varmint hunting. Same optics an ammo ...same lot numbers in fact.
Yeah if I had the duckets to waste....KAC products ae neat yet my serious rifle for accuracy is s 98 mauser.
But agree with ya on poor....:p)
