I've been wanting one of these for awhile and the stars lined up over the weekend where I was able to finally get one. It is a DPMS Panther A5, .223. Now I have to just get to the range Saturday morning before it is too hot.

eddie that is very cool 8) 8)
i to have been wanting one for a looooooooong time
DPMS (right here in st cloud mn )has to be the best at making them AR's sweeeeet
the one i want is flat topped,alumn forgrip,.308 cal,retractable stock,long range sniper style scope
cryo bull barrel,adjustable trigger etc etc etc
lets see some pics of the groups that thing shoots ;)
-
you can shoot groups with one of those ?? I thought it was all about rapid fire.... >:D
I want one too, but in .308.
-
It ought to kill a pig well enough, though probably not as well as a jeep will. ;)
-
get you a good halo sight for it and you'll be set!
-
Sight in is at 25meters, 2 cm's low. Then it is dead on at 250 meters. Not much drop. ;D I got rid of a .308 and have the Ruger rolling Block with a Bull barrel in .300 Win. Mag for that good, Reach out and touch something feeling. ;)
-
That right there is shore nuff a man toy.
Sonny, you'd be surprised at just how accurate one of those things can be. Sub 1" groups at 100 yards are common. ;)
-
thats a lot purtier than my service rifle was , i might have been the 100th owner though. "lock and load rounds coming down range!"
-
Nice rifle, Eddie... care to post a full draw? ??? ;D
-
I'm with Josh, where's the full draw :D
Nice weapon Eddie. I'm hoping to get one with this next years tax return. For 4 years I've bought a firearm with my returns and this last year was going to be an AR.....but this year I had other priorities...

Where is the ramrod? What size flints does it take? Are you going with 2F or 3F powder?
>:D

sailordad, man that sounds SWEEEEEEET!

Tim, I looked at a FN in .308, but it was heavy and I just traded a .308 to DavidK. Didn't want another one. I already have a 30-06 and 300 WinMag.
Ken, my son said the same thing when he was home over the weekend, said he never held a shiny one without scratches. ;D
JW, I have 8 with the rock and ram-roddy thing, I wanted to play with something different. ;)
Pappy I thought I remembered you having one and I see all kinds of possibilities with turkeys and other things. :)
